Being born in the late 60s and early 70s, Torsten Verlinden and Steve Baltes became ear witnesses to the upcoming e-pop Projects such as Heaven 17, Depeche Mode or Ultravox.
Mesmerized by the effects of sound technology in music and the emotion these bands were able to create, Steve Baltes took to mastering the keyboard and computer programming, whereas Torsten Verlinden chose a different path and became a professional bass player and vocalist.
After a short collaboration in the beginning of the 90´s their paths separated and only by lucky chance it was, that now they are able to work on what developed to be their core interest :
The resurrection of the 80´s e-pop feel in the 21nd century with the implementation of contemporary sounds.
It is their hope that their music builds a contrast to the emotional coldness displayed in too many of short-lived musical productions of our time.
German trance pioneer Steve Baltes appears on stage with german Krautrock legend Ashra and is a leading member of the transatlantic cooperation Deep Voices.
Torsten Verlinden is featured vocalist on Deep Voices, has had appearances on german television channels like Pro7 , WDR3 and works in internationally known band projects.
