During the Summer of 2005, Gaz Wildsmith and Hayley Mitchell set about creating new music in an old renovated mental asylum deep in the wilds of the Staffordshire Moorlands.
After spending the rest of the year putting together a collection of tracks that showcased their eclectic musical style, they upped sticks and moved to Manchester.
Early 2006 and a frenzy of gigging and networking soon followed and culminated in them enlisting percussion supremo Mike Chung, and scratch DJ Neil Cookson to enhance the live setup.
After more refinement, their live shows evolved to encompass striking visuals alongside their relentless beats.
Early 2007 saw the release of debut single "Mexicola Bare Essentials", with the launch party packing out The Attic in Manchester, and radio airplay and critical acclaim followed.
Late Summer '07 saw them release "Precious Time" which sold all it's limited edition run at the single launch and continues to do well with downloads in excess of the 1K mark, taking them to the end of a very successful year.
2008 is looking eventful already, having just been featured on the MTV MOVIE AWARDS 2008, a successful month long US tour completed in June that included an appearance on the LA based entertainment industry tastemaker show - Hunnypot Radio, and a debut album released on ITUNES that will see them seize their place as one of Manchester's finest new electronic acts.
