The esteemed duo weaves together distinctive and enthralling moments that transcend the boundaries of expression, resonating with audiences both in performance on and off the stage. With a rich history of recording and touring that commenced with a fervent tear in 2016 as the horn section and co-creators for the Michal Menert (Pretty Lights) live bands, they have continued to evolve and excel. Their collaboration with Menert and the Pretty Fantastics, culminating in the release of Space Jazz, and Pretty Fantastics 1, marked the beginning of a fruitful partnership. This partnership has led to a series of successful collaborations with various releases on Menert’s label Super Best Records and later helped lead into other collaborations with artists including GRiZ, Defunk, Late Night Radio, Wet Paint, Kaptain, and Ageless, among others.&nbsp; Since their inception, the group has ventured into independent music production, releasing several albums and EPs. Furthermore, they have established themselves as artists under reputable labels, including Gravitas Recording, Muti Music and others further expanding their reach and influence in the music industry.
