The band came together in 1997 founded by Turkish musician Ilhan Erşahin, who is still a current member, playing tenor saxophone and keys.
The band's music is noted for its "heavy groove of drum and bass, blended with quick dance elements."
The band signed to Atlantic Records in the late '90s and released their debut self-titled album in June 2000.
Other former members include Lisa Rudolph who co-wrote four songs with Ilhan Ersahin on the first album titled three, N'Dea Davenport and Saul Williams.
Ilhan, Thor, and Jochen combined with Erik Truffaz and Matt Penman to create the band Our Theory.
