As much influenced by post punk 80’(Fiction/Factory/Mute/Beggars Banquet/4AD), synthetic disco 90’, German electro-tek 00’ as literature (K.Mansfield, S.De Beauvoir ), they compose their first electro-pop songs in an "eternal" current fascination for metronomic snares of drum machine and especially for the melodies having a Heart and Soul.
Their concept is to play on the dancefloor a brutal, existential and bright music...
In september 02 , they release their PURITY E.P(A-Traction 07) with remixes by Chaotik Ramses (A-Traction rec., Rex club) & The Youngsters (F.Com). The E.P will be immediately playlisted on the BBC in UK ...Then, they are selected by Dj Hell and appear on the compilation of the famous German label International Deejay GIGOLO Records.
Included in the roadster of Vitalic’s booking Agency (CITIZEN) with The Hacker, Terence Fixmer, and supported in their work by the french fashion designer Agnès b., they develop, masked or not , a live full of tension, melody, danger and theatrality, in the succession of frontmen like Nick Cave or Morrissey ........They have already played in famous clubs like Rex Club and Pulp in Paris, Culture Club in Belgium or in festivals (Santiago-Chile, Stockholm, Cologne).
They remixed artists like Chaotik Ramses, LTNo/ex-Tetines Noires, Jerome Sans/director of Palais de Tokyo...
