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. It is also the theme song used in the "NEDM" fad on YTMND.^[1] "We Interrupt This Programme" was remixed by a plethora of deejays of all electronic music genres most notably Jean-Claude Ades.

[edit] Recent Developments

Coburn's follow up single, the Moroder-esque "Give me 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 licensed for release this autumn on Great Stuff, 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.

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 accessibility of Coburn music in the United States at this time is extremely limited due to no full length album yet to be released over-seas.
