History

The duo's project was created around 2006, when Karol Samocki and Marek Bigajski, who had been working under separate pseudonyms, decided to join forces. The musical hybrid of genres represented by the artists (House and Deep House) was reflected in the first joint releases that were very well received on the international market. In 2007, together with Slawek Loboda, they founded an independent music label Loco Records and led it to the title of the best Deep House label in 2010 by means of 3 tracks that appeared in the Beatport top 10 rankings. In 2008, DJ Mag awarded them the title of the best Polish DJs.\n

They have worked with many top artists of the world clubbing scene, such as Miguel Migs, Brian Tappert, Robert Owens, Timewriter, Ian Pooley, Jimpster, Lusine, Maya Jane Coles, Nick Curly, Jori Hulkkonen, Guy J, and Andre Lodemann. Initially, the duo's main focus was on their original tracks released on their Loco Records label. However, they also made exceptions and released their music on other smaller or much larger labels: Peppermint Jam, Toolroom, Suara as well as Armada Deep, and Ministry of Sound. In addition to their original songs, they have made remixes for foreign artists such as Miguel Migs or Maya Jane Coles.\n

On February 18, 2022, their long–awaited long–playing album \"Essay\" had its premiere. It was released on a Berlin label Get Physical Music. The album is composed of 13 songs, which gives a total of 70 minutes of music. The three vocalists involved in the project were Jono McCleery, Lazarusman, and Keely Timlin.\n
