History

Adam Kershen and Soha Radjpoust first met in junior high school and began jamming together and playing music in local bands. Kershen began working with studio equipment and discovered a talent for creating electronic music. Radjpoust trained on multiple instruments and pursued composing and writing his own songs and music.

The duo teamed up in 2006 to begin working on original progressive house tracks. Their 2007 release "Twilight" became their most successful single.[2] The single peaked at #2 on the Beatport Top 100 chart and being named an "Essential New Tune" by BBC Radio 1's Pete Tong.[3] A nomination for Best Progressive House Artist followed at the 2009 Beatport Music Awards[4] as did a period of remix work for artists including "4 AM" - Kaskade,[5] "Come Fly Away" - Benny Benassi,[6] "Loneliness" - Tomcraft,[7] "From The Speaker" - Mark Knight.[8] More singles followed including "Long Distance",[9] "Questions EP",[10] "Save Us Now EP"[11] and "Circadian Rhythm".[12]
