  • 808ステイト（808 State ）は、イギリスのテクノバンド。名前の由来は、ローランド・TR-808。またメンバーへのインタビューによれば、アメリカのハワイ州（市外局番が808）の意味も含まれるという。90年代に入ってからの商業的な成功以降は楽曲からTR-808の音色は影を潜めていき、レイヴシーンの衰退後に隆盛を極めていたブレイクビーツ主体のビートへと移行していった。808は「エイト・オー・エイト」と読むが、日本では「はち・まる・はち」あるいはTR-808を指す業界用語から「やおや」と呼ばれることもある。

  • 808 State é um grupo inglês de música eletrônica, formado em Manchester, Reino Unido, no ano de 1988. Seus integrantes originais eram Graham Massey, Martin Price e Gerald Simpson, e lançaram seu álbum de estréia, Newbuild, no mesmo ano.

O grupo conseguiu sucesso durante o verão de 1989, quando sua canção "Pacific State" foi tocada durante todos os dias, por três meses, pelo DJ da Radio 1 inglesa em seu programa nacional, em horário nobre, até que ela fosse lançada como single; acredita-se que esta campanha ajudou a impulsionar a cena da house music para o topo das paradas de música do Reino Unido.
