Showcasing the modern direction of electronic music, the duo signed to Street Quality Entertainment,[1] the Canadian-based record label, releasing a self-titled EP of four songs in June 2011.
They first met at the Lucky Bar, home to a bustling and tight-knit community of musicians and fans, where Bhattacharyya filled in as a drummer for Kirkpatrick when she was touring her singer/songwriter act throughout coffee houses in Victoria.
After both moving to Vancouver, Kirkpatrick worked as a lighting technician at many well-respected clubs in the city while Bhattacharyya studied sound design for film under Robert Grieve, with mentoring from Craig Berkey.
After the debut album was released, Ajay Bhattacharyya worked as an independent songwriter and record producer under his own stage name Stint, away from the "Data Romance" project.
Data Romance showcases the utilization of new or existing technologies in unique ways, such as Bluetooth downloads at concerts,[12][13] created by their marketing team at The Found Group.
