Project Members:

Martin Czihal born 07-23-1965 in Bratislava, Slovakia
Alexander Hitzler and Martin Czihal have known each other since they worked at Radio Skyline/Augsburg, Germany in the early 90ies, Alexander working as an audio engineer and being also responsible for commercials and jingles.

After that period the two of them lost contact for a while, Alexander started a small studio of his own, his work as a professional musician keeping him busy as well.

Martin had his own club for several years and already did a lot of djing . Between 95 and 97, when Martin was touring Ibiza (El Divino/ Privilege/etc.), he finally decided to start his own producing. He had played in several punk bands himself during the 80ies and had preserved and cultivated his own open-minded musical talent. In the early 90ies, Martin finally focused on Djing. Bursting with many innovative ideas, he was looking for the right partner to realize them. He contacted his long time friend Alexander, and this match proved to be perfect. A great and creative symbiosis began and continued to be successful and satisfying throughout the 90ies and to date. First they started experimenting with different styles, in the meantime they concentrate on chill and house music.

During the recent years their musical output has raised up to over 150 tracks, released on compilations worldwide, using other project names like:

Daddy Pete, Eivizzards, Indigo Seven, Good Chillaz, Timbalestics, Sunseeker, DJ San Martino, Schwarz & Funk

Their composing work includes commercial tracks for Alfa Romeo ads, as well as for Volkswagen, Lufthansa, TUI and more.
