There are three bands with this name.
1. A collaboration between techno pioneer Juan Atkins and Doug Craig (uncle of Carl Craig). Their main release was Technicolor which was released in 1986 on Atkins’ Metroplex label, and is considered a classic of the early Detroit techno scene. This track was also famously sampled by Sir Mix-A-Lot on his smash hit Baby Got Back
2. Channel One are a Dublin based four-piece who use a mixture of electronic and live instrumentation to create their sound.
The band are currently preparing a new live show to mark the November release of their debut LP ‘Sound to Light’. Self-produced and recorded mainly in their own studio, the album marries the group’s various sounds, with layers of guitar, krautrock rhythms, electronica and modulated vocals producing textures and melodies that are both filmic and familiar. The record captures both the intensity and ambience of the band’s live shows, making for a potent mix of the synthenic and the organic, the instrumental and the vocal.
Forming from the remains of various punk/noise outfits the group’s initial motivation was to recreate certain kinds of melodic electronica and techno in a live band setting. Gradually more instruments and vocals were added, resulting in many driving, hypnotic, wall-of-noise style live shows that earned the band their initial reputation.
