The band was made up of Oakenfold, Osborne, Nick Divaris, Johny
Rocca and Micky. It released three EPs. The first one, "Jibaro", was an unacknowledged cover version of a rare Latin-funk song originally composed and recorded by Elkin & Nelson, a Colombian act based in Spain in the 1970s, which was a part of the original "Balearic beat" of the late 1980s.
