Great news for Marco Bernardi (Octogen), whose album, ‘2five0nine’ has been awarded album of the year in DJ Mag’s top albums of 2007! This will feature in DJ Mag’s December issue.

Octogen’s recent digital only release on Soma, ‘Square Bells’ is being released on Clone Records. You can pre-order your copy of this here:

Tired of seeing their releases being sold less than legally on dubiously suspect Russian mp3 websites for shirt buttons, Soma decide that it’s time to go behind the backs of the Russian mafia and join the internet file-sharing massive, giving this release away entirely for free.

At the minute it's only available on http://www.oneweektolive.com so fire on over there and pick it up.

This is what Ivan Smagghe has to say bout it:
"Let’s Go Outside is probably one of the most original electronic acts at the moment because he does not fit anywhere. Brilliant ideas, brilliant production. Liked so much the previous single that I asked Soma to do a mix of it, coming soon. Massive props from a man that does not give many. 10/10"
