Having over a decade of performance experience, initially trained as classical and jazz musicians, Aaron Diaz and Yoshinori Aoyama began their debut in the local Toronto music scene in a hip-hop/R&B band called Illharmonic. As their roots in the local music industry spread, the two decided to branch out and venture into the art of DJing. The duo spin in unison while highlighting their unique style

s and techniques. Their inspirations such as J Dilla, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Skratch Bastid, and Kaytranada has influenced their passion and knowledge for music which is evidently shown in their sets and live performances.
