"The singer is Billie Ray Martin and she’s one of the living legends in modern music history and one of the best voices on planet earth."
DJ HELL



Dubbed the “queen of electronic soul”, Billie Ray Martin first came to prominence leading the acclaimed deep house act Electribe 101, her unique voice leaving critics struggling to find words to match its beauty. Electribe 101 scored a brace of hits including the classic “Talking With Myself” before Billie departed to continue exploring fusions of electronic music and soul. After releasing the thoroughly scary “Persuasion” and the monumentally beautiful “Four Ambient Tales”, Billie found herself with a worldwide number 1 in “Your Loving Arms”, now considered one of the all-time classics of dance music. Three more hits and the album “Deadline for My Memories” followed.

Since then Billie has worked with Ann Peebles, Carla Thomas and members of Aretha Franklin's band on her album "18 Carat Garbage", and has continued to release cutting edge electronic productions, including her 'No Brakes On My Rollerskates' and 'Dead Again' singles, and hit collaborations with DJ Hell and Slam.

She is currently working on her new solo album; the first single “Undisco Me” received an overload of praise and plays; the follow-up should be ready soon.

Meanwhile, Billie has formed a new project, The Opiates. Already dubbed “the Carpenters of electro”, they have just finished perfecting their album “Hollywood Under The Knife”. A much buzzed about gig at London's Rough Trade shop introduced their highly acclaimed first 2008 release 'Anatomy of a Plastic Girl'.

A further collaboration with DJ Hell, entitled ‘Silver Machine’, has just been released on the Japanese version of his new album.

Various collaborations are in the works, as well as the imminent release of Billie’s "Crackdown Project" featuring Stephen Mallinder from Cabaret Voltaire. Most notably, Billie is currently in the studio re-recording the all-time classic "Your Love" with the legendary Frankie Knuckles.
