Synchronized (Zoran Licanin and Stefan Milenkovic) met in Belgrade in 2004, while going out to infamous progressive house Thursdays at club “Mamolo”. They soon realise that they share the same music taste, being influenced by all types of sounds, from Depeche Mode, Miles Davies, Coldplay and Massive Attack to EKV, The Cure, Dire Straits, Sting, Strawpeople…The duo begins to produce tracks together in 2005, their primary focus being progressive electro, with a very recognizable funky groove that defines their sound.

Zoran was born in Zagreb in 1980. As of early age he developed an interest in playing guitar, which he perfected over the years and as a result of being in several bands, composing and producing. He was always fascinated with experimenting with sound processors and strived towards incorporating electronic elements in his music. Later on, he really got into the electronic music he was hearing in almost every club he went out to.
