With new releases constantly coming up as Digital Art and in multiple successful projects Wim recently released tracks for :Xing Records, Kult Records, Royal Tec Records, Sonic Flavours, Emotive Sounds,Young NRG Records, Andromeda Records USA and more. Francesco and Ilich got involved in playing with music around 1998. Their first approach with music was in extreme Metal bands such as: Occasus, 737, Warmonger. In the meanwhile, they were constantly using electronic gear as a support for their musical experimentation. Finally they started to produce their first simple tracks using some old midi sequencers. After a while, having spent years producing weird ambient and crappy dance stuff, they turned the production to the next level, starting to sign and release trance and progressive music. through labels like Emotive Sounds, Starllight, Kult, Thrive.
