After some cult success in the house scene, their next song "We Interrupt This Programme" (Data/Great Stuff/Frontier) re-defined house music in 2005, with its glitchy, "edit-orientated" take on a party tune. The sound crossed boundaries and borders becoming popular with Djs and clubbers from almost every scene in dance, and even being championed by radio jocks normally associated with rock and alternative sounds. Coburn became very popular with "We Interrupt This Programme" on the internet - featured on many entertainment websites. "We Interrupt This Programme" was remixed by a cornucopia of djs of all electronic music genres most notably Jean-Claude Ades, whose mix is used as the theme song in the "NEDM" fad on YTMND.^[1]

[edit] Recent Developments

Coburn's follow up single, the Moroder-esque "Give me love" (a loose cover of Donna Summer's Morodor-produced "I Feel Love") pummelled dance-floors around the world in 2006, and its flip, "Razorblade" also featuring the delicate Icelandic vocals of Heidrun (ex-Gloss, Cicada) has been released in June 2007, and has been described as "Kylie on acid".

The success of their recent output has led them to flood of DJ and live bookings, and they continue to entertain at the world's top night-spots and festivals right across the globe.

As Djs their free-style club sound celebrates "The very best in electro-house, beats, breaks and booties, with a healthy sprinkling of indie-rock".

The duo released some of their finest work to date on a compilation released in March 2007 on Frontier Recordings (the label owned by one half of Coburn, Pete Martin).

The accessibility of Coburn music in the United States at this time is extremely limited though this may change with the release of their debut artist album in June 2007 on Great Stuff Records.

Coburn have enjoyed some fame stateside when their track entitled "Closer" was featured on Grey's Anatomy in its Season 3 Finale (Episode 3.25). This new exposure will likely increase the demand for Coburn music in the United States.
