808 State are supporting their booking agent Ben ‘BK’ Kouijzer‘s battle with the rare and aggressive form of cancer MPNST via the release of a new track entitled Where Wye & Severn.
It’s a song taken from the sessions which produced last year’s Transmission Suite album – one which Live4ever described as being of, ‘serious music, for happy people’ in our 8/10 review:
“We’ve all seen our eighties nights ruined by someone dancing to ancient tunes like Pacific 202 or Cubik, doing the big-little-fish-cardboard-box thing, shouting stuff like ‘ave it!’ or ‘get on one matey’ whilst simultaneously gurning like a two year old,” it begins.
“Transmission Suite thankfully isn’t for those people. This is because 808 State – now just a duo of Graham Massey and DJ Andrew Barker – have used it to both experiment and take electronic music to its ingenious outer limits.”
