Double Helix

Living in Ypsilanti, Michigan, 30 miles from Detroit, Hans and Rebecca are the two cascading spirals around which the double helix sound is formed. The richly diverse music of the metro detroit area provided fertile ground for their initial experiments. Both had classical training, Rebecca as an opera singer and Hans as a cellist, however when they first met in 1996, she was throwing down as an R&B/Funk vocalist and he was an acid jazz/house dj...an odd but ideal match. Inspired by their friends, spesimen, dykehouse, recloose, ibex, bill van loo, audiomatrix, and elijah lewis, they soon crafted a production style based on house, dub, and gospel.
