Nathan Mattimoe was born and still lives in Toledo, Oh. He grew up with a multitude of musical influences. His Grandparents exposed him to Jazz, Irish Drinking Songs, Neil Diamond, and Sinatra. His parents exposed him to Motown, Charlie Parker, Taj Mahal, Jimi Hendrix, George Jones, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, King Crimson, and Miles Davis, just to name a small few. Diversity in itself became an influence. Soulful music was just that – soulful. Be it George Benson or George Jones - Nathan realized the common vibe that all good music shares – soul. Through high school and until 2002 Nathan wrote and performed music with Marc Zoldowski under the guise Cyanosphere. They persevered through a a number of drummers, a few singers, and eventually a lack of motivation, and finally called it quits. It was shortly after that time Nathan discovered what underground dance culture was all about.

Mark started out his musical career playinging the Saxaphone. After that he moved on to play the Bass Guitar and even tried his hand at Vocals with a hard rock band.

Rob Sample is one of Toledo, Ohio’s most respected Djs. He started spinning in mid 1999 on off nights at local bars and night clubs. After developing his own style eventually moved on to weekends in some of Toledo’s bigger night clubs. By 2003 Rob had done over 2 dozen night clubs in Toledo and started getting calls to do even bigger night club grand openings(Banana Joes, Tabu, Metro, Ground Zero). In 2004 92.5 KISS Fm WVKS Toledo invited him to do a nightly mix show 100% LIVE on air and he gladly accepted (Club Kiss). Six months later Rob then spent some brief time in Chicago djing store openings in big malls and smaller underground bars and night clubs in the area (Windsor Fashions, Spot 6). Upon his return to Toledo Hot 97.3 Fm had him do mix shows for the holidays as they were just breaking new grounds with the radio station (Memorial Day Mix Down and 4th of July Mix Down). In that point of his career he had already played for two radio stations opened for major recording artists like Mystikal (Jive Records), Proof (D12 - RIP), T-Pain (Jive Records), Danny The Wild Child (Q101 Chicago), Dj Seven (Chicago Disco Pimps), and Stacey Kidd (Camouflage Chicago). Don’t get it twisted even though Rob has spun quite a few hip/hop gigs his favorite music to get booked to play is still Funky House and Electro House and he is more explosive to watch when doing so.
