Members

Eitan Reiter was born in December 3, 1982, in Haifa, Israel. Since he was a young boy he was following his father who is a classical guitar player and a collector. Eitan was hooked by the sounds of synthesizers and the connection to the electronic music was inevitable, he started making music at his parents house at the age of 16 on his computer with Impulse Tracker.[2] Eitan is considered by many professional as one of the most innovative and versatile electronic music producers roaming planet earth.

Kobi Toledano born in December 1, 1976, in Haifa, Israel. Since youth Kobi was inspired by electronic devices tearing and wearing them apart, He got experienced with his first synthesisers when he was a young boy and since that day he stayed hooked to that sound. Kobi managed and worked for years in a recording studio managing and producing young artists, and still producing in his own studio. Kobi discovered the trance music and Psychedelic music in a rave parties in the early 90's in the magical green forests of Northern Israel, those days were magical, and since then Kobi was hooked up to the Psychedelica.[3] Kobi Graduated a leading Sound School in the Galilee, North of Israel, and was participating in few Psychedelic groups as a producer.
