History
Vancouver's Robbie Slade and Peter Ricq met in 2008, and started making music together in the summer of 2009. They released a demo album in 2009. In 2010, the duo released their first EP called Avec Mes Mecs, and produced a video for its title track. Promotion through BIRP (an indie music blog & monthly playlist) along with fan-made videos ushered in the release of the official video in 2011.
Following up Avec Mes Mecs, the duo released their sophomore EP called Traps in 2012. The release received high praise from publications such as DJ Mag, Exclaim!, and Resident Advisor. A video for the song "Horizon" was premiered on Spinner.
