    >styles, to fuse these styles together and get the audience involved in the
    >whole musical spectrum of that fusion. Their love for deep jazz and modern
    >beats has led their music to become a somewhat stunning amalgamation of
    >retro and new sounds that echoes almost all muscial styles from HipHop or
    >afrofunk to drum & bass, boogie, brazil, latin, and soul. Always reacting

    >percussion-oriented, sophisticated, clean and warm broken-beat-style that is
    >constantly changing in form and allows no pigeon-holing. It's just simply
