Rayan Gee, Nick Slater and LANX (Kevin Lancaster) met when they were very VERY young. They produced music for themselves and for the gigs they DJ'd at in their home town of Peterborough (Cambridgeshire) but they hit it big in 1989 when multiple tracks from their self pressed album "Frequency" took hold of the emerging Rave scene.

The track that caught peoples attention were:

Homicide
Exorcist
Sweet Sensation
Sound of Eden
Extacy

Shades of Rhythm were promptly picked up by major record company and part of Warner Brothers, Ztt.
between partying and gigging with other bands like the Prodigy, Njoi, 808 State the threesome manged to cork up considerable success on the live scene and also in the UK National charts Sound of Eden getting into the top 30 and Extacy reaching number 14 and warranting an appearance on Top of the Pops
