The two of them were enthusiastic about music and events so the pair left school and took their chances in the dance scene during the mid ‘90s. After two years, Riktam and Bansi made a trip to Goa and encountered a melodic revelation.

After India, they came back to Amsterdam and started recording music on tapes to bring to Goa for the following season. In Goa, both of them had Dj stints at the absolute most untamed yet most important events of their early lives. The gigs made an unfading imprint on their mind furthermore illuminating their soul.

In the wake of releasing records with numerous names for many years they considered how lucrative the label produced. Eventually, they’ve decided to have their own label with the goal to put more studio equipment and help different musicians and associates on the same field. Despite their jam-packed tour schedule performing in Europe, Asia, parts of North & South America, the duo still figured to finish their seventh and album called Emergency Broadcast System.
