The fusion of styles go from Cumbia, Reggae, Ska to Hip Hop & Rock ."

Deuce Eclipse who’s well known by hip-hop fans as an accompanying voice to the legendary Zion I and Caipo has become a sought out name producing & mixing in the San Francisco music scene and abroad. The two met in 2008 through a mutual friend while Deuce was working on his solo effort with Amp Live of Zion I . Soon after, Deuce and Caipo began collaborating in the studio and began approaching ideas with an openness to experiment and combine influences from different genres. Within a few months of work they decided to re- lease they're first EP Maldito Carnaval. In 2010 the EP landed them a song feature on Itunes Latino with the track “Drivin Steady”. "

In late 2011, a highlight in the bands journey was a song placement of the self-titled track “Bang Data” from their album La Sopa” on AMC’s hit TV Drama ‘Breaking Bad’ Season 4, Episode titled ‘Salud’.
