They always talked about working together on music, but clashing schedules prevented it from happening. Finally in the spring of 2011 they got together and decided to start working on some remixes for California’s “The New Division” and Chicago’s “Comasoft”. After finishing them up, they figured why not take a shot at seeing what kind of original stuff they can come up with. The result was a completed EP, titled Telescopic, which was picked up by Chicago’s Hot Dog Records and released in March 2012. Their follow up releases are a single titled "Vortex" which came out on June 19, 2012, and an EP titled Umbra set for Fall 2012.
