History
After beginning as a synth-pop duo (having been compared to Underworld), they have transitioned to creating club music. Their releases resulted in European imprints like R&S Records and Harthouse.
In 2002, the duo founded Get Physical Records with DJ T. and M.A.N.D.Y..
Their 2005 singles Mandarine Girl and Body Language (with M.A.N.D.Y.) were widely played in clubs and licensed on many mix CDs.
They were featured on BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix on July 2, 2006.
Resident Advisor called the song Body Language "one of the biggest releases of the year.". Body Language has been used as a sample by will.i.am in the song Get Your Money from his album Songs About Girls. It also appears in the video game Forza Motorsport 2 for Xbox 360, as the M.A.N.D.Y. vs Booka Shade version.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The history of a soldier’s wound beguiles the pain of it.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“What is most interesting and valuable in it, however, is not the materials for the history of Pontiac, or Braddock, or the Northwest, which it furnishes; not the annals of the country, but the natural facts, or perennials, which are ever without date. When out of history the truth shall be extracted, it will have shed its dates like withered leaves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
