“It was many years ago (1997) that two dashing young lads (Xrei & evix) happened to meet, and soon began unleashing industrial-strength video-game music. After merging empires, they had between them an old Amiga600 and DSS8+ sampler (and, perhaps, just enough naivete), and the world was theirs, provided they could keep it under 200k. Over time and lots of experience, their music quickly grew and expanded (not unlike a Mogwai in water) into the happy monster that it is today.”

Our songs and style are a strange amalgam of many different things: Our love of video-game sounds and theme songs, of all genres of dance/club music, of experimental and classical sound composition, of cheesy synth sounds and things that are over-the-top and making them work somehow. The limitations of our early equipment and our personalities/sense of humor played a big role in developing our style, which over time has now smoothed out into a subtle confident bounce after all these years of experience and growing equipment (shout-out to Mixcraft and Elektron). Enjoy.
