Based out of Utrecht, Netherlands, they started making drum and bass in 1995 when they got turned on to the likes of artist such as Photek, LTJ Bukem, and Ed Rush. Before that they were into techno and breaks. After having a few releases on smaller record labels, they managed to get the attention of bigger producers like Trace, currently known for his DSCI4 label. At the moment they have three labels of their own; Black Sun Empire Recordings,Obsessions (BSE) and the newly found Shadows of the Empire (BSE).
