Eitan Reiter was born on December 3, 1982, in Haifa, Israel, the son of a classical guitar player. He became fascinated by the sounds of synthesizers and when he was 16 started making music on his computer using Impulse Tracker.[2]

Kobi Toledano was born on December 1, 1976, in Haifa, Israel. Since his youth he was interested in electronic devices, taking them apart and putting them back together. Kobi worked for years in a recording studio managing and producing young artists. He discovered trance music and Psychedelic music while attending rave parties in the early 1990s in the forests of Northern Israel.[3] Kobi graduated from a leading sound school in the Galilee, northern Israel, and was the producer of a few psychedelic groups.

Kobi Toledano and Eitan Reiter have been producing electronic music together since 2006, blending old school roots with new sounds.

In 2009 the group was invited by BPM College, the leading institute in Israel for sound and music production studies, to conduct an artist workshop. The success of the workshop led to an ongoing relationship with BPM.
