To date they released 11 artist which all charted in the sales charts and cover such various like Electronica, Ambient, Lounge, Pop, Trance and Dance Music. When asked about the key to their success, their response is: 'We do everything digitally, on the basis of Final Scratch, which allows us to use our own edits and mixes, nothing comes straight from tape. Every set we play is unique, not only sound-wise but also in terms of what we play and how we play it. Roughly 60% of our set consists of our own repertoire, as where better to present our own material than via the DJ decks.'
