Daniele and Tom met at while studying at university. Daniele comes from an electronic background that is heavily influenced by Trance, while Tom has his influences from the more guitar oriented music scene. However the guys share a mutual interest in many genres so they decided to mash up a few genres and see how that sounds. Tom sat down and wrote an album worth of material on guitar and synths, then Daniele put down a nice work to get the sound they were after. You can hear that on their EP Digital Journey.
