OKTAVE NYC PRESENTS:

CIO D'OR (PROLOGUE, TIME TO EXPRESS | COLOGNE)
THREE (HALLUCINATION LIMITED | NYC)
JEFF DERRINGER (OKTAVE | BROOKLYN)

On Friday, February 26th, Oktave is pleased to present CIO D'OR representing Prologue and Time To Express. Miss D'or's 2009 head turning release "Die Faser" is a deep and hypnotic composition and was rightfully named "the most valuable [album] of 2009" by minimaland.com. She has been charted by Samuli Kemppi, Falko Brocksieper, Eric Cloutier, Silent Servant, Efdemin and Giorgio Gigli amongst a host of other notable DJ's and producers. We couldn't be more excited about hosting her first event in New York.

We are also pleased to present THREE representing Hallucination Limited. Three had a very busy 2009 with gigs in Madrid, Tokyo, Melbourne, Berlin, London and of course New York. His newly relaunched Hallucination Limited has a massive 2010 planned with new music and mixes from Peter von Hoesen, Cheap & Deep, Seth Troxler & Inxec, Gadi Mizrahi and Butane, just to name a few. Known as a "DJ's DJ", Three continues to steadily cement his reputation as one of the best American underground DJs to emerge in the last decade.

CIO D'OR
Cio D´Or moves. Filtering to track down deep and authentic musical developments amongst the mass of records without forgetting the gems of the past. Her dj sets arise from an idea, which she develops and threads through her set. Emotional, extravagant and charismatic. Cio´s style is more techno than house, ranges from maximal to minimal. It has depth and is filled with bass, is often surprising and propelling, though still clear.

Music, in the form of dance and rhythmic instruments, moved Cio D´Or right from the start. Her first steps onto the stage were at 17, playing congas in a 7-person jazz band. Her staged dance choreographies were inspired by the likes of Brian Eno and David Byrne. Her life began to revolve around the exploration of music. The first 1210 record players spun permanently. Her love for sound intensified and since then no day has passed without music.

Tobi Neumann heard Cio D´Or in a bar in Munich and booked her straight away for "Flokati". Gigs at diverse parties and clubs followed. As support dj for Richard Bartz and his "Kurbel" tour, Cio D´Or joined the professional league, after which her residency in the legendary Munich club "Ultraschall" began. She started to run her own night "Nachtwind" in "Woandersclub" and "Harry Klein". From this time, Cio established herself consistently on national and international floors with her emotive, almost magical sets. She doesn´t play music, she lives it.

THREE
Three has been tirelessly holding the flag for underground electronic music in the US since his rise out of the sunny state of Florida in the early 90's. He’s held residencies at NYC’s Twilo, Cielo, and Love (Robots), as well as Florida’s legendary Simon’s while playing lauded guest spots in San Francisco (Wicked, Pacific Sound, Kontrol), London (Fabric, T Bar, Superfreq), Berlin (Panorama Bar, Divisionaire, Watergate), Japan (Labrynthe Festival, Unit), Australia (Rainbow Serpent Festival), Portugal, Spain, and more. As you can see, Three never disappoints crowds the world over. 2009 saw NYC promoters Blk Market Membership proclaiming a recent 5 hour closing set of Three's as "the best set out of 2009 for us".

Armed with a sound that borrows equally from vintage acid-house, techno and underground electronica, his Hallucination Limited imprint has been held in the highest regard. As of 2010, a newly relaunched Hallucination Limited is officially a major player again with new music and mixes from Cheap & Deep, Butane, Gadi Mizrahi (Wolf & Lamb), Reverse Commuter, Sycophant Slags (Mr C & Adultnapper), Seth Troxler & Inxec and Peter Von Hoesen to name a few ..... starting with Reverse Commuter - Southern Charge which includes a mix by Three released on February 2nd.

Aside from his natural ability on the decks, Three sets himself apart from the rest of the pack by presenting eclectic sounds with an open-minded attitude towards everything he does. From DJ sets to musical output, Three is a "DJ's DJ" who has always leaned toward the cutting edge without losing touch with the roots of house and techno. Leaving an indelible impression everywhere he goes, Three continues to steadily cement his reputation as one of the best American underground DJs to emerge in the last decade.
