Biography
In the early 90's, we started to organise some private parties; later with them came the spirit of dance music along with ideas of DIY electronics to improve sound & lights.
Since then, electronic music seemed to grow within us and we started to play live using the real classic synths & drum boxes with a special taste for house and trance that seemed to fit perfectly as we tweaked the knobs!
Later, around 97, with the growth of the Internet we started to trade ideas with other artists and some projects arose with the release of a few deep tracks.
Presently, we still keep in touch with those friends and we are releasing sporadically on both domestic & international labels.
