Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Leland Scali and Marcus Matula were in rock bands together all through high school. The music started getting old after a while they needed something different. Marcus purchased some turntables and started mixing it up. After that Leland started purchasing some recording equipment, and headed off the recording school. Since then they have just been writing songs together in such genres as Break Beats, Trance, Drum 'n' Bass and New age.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
