The Duo has set up a computer based studio with vintage but also new synthesizers in North Wembley in London where they produce Constantin’s new album.

Constantin formed his first band in Athens in the age of 14called "The Unreined" . The band's music was a mixture of Classic Rock and Grunge with soft verses but heavy choruses. The band was very popular around the underground scene with a single performance gathering 3,000 people audience. They had more than 30 gigs just before they split up. After the band members followed their own path, Constantin found himself in London studying Music Tech and Audio Production trying to develop the quality of his music and expand his musical horizons.

Constantin started his music career in London working as a residence engineer at Tribal Tree Studios. There he met with Jaz and together with the artist JP (Chris Lock) they formed Triangle Records.When Tribal Tree Studios shut down, Triangle Records operated Tribal Tree Studios for almost a year. It was at that time when nearly the entire London underground music scene paraded from Tribal Tree Studios and with Constantin in the control room they where producing and mixing music for MTV Base, 1Xtra and Channel U.

The latest studio is called Sound Surgery and is where Constantin and Jaz are writing, producing but also rehearsing for an array of gigs coming up. " I'm putting a number of skills together to deliver music that last through time. I never believed in overnight success but I always respected the connection between me and the audience."
