     Vlado Dzihan grew up surrounded by music: his father's drum-kit,
     his brothers piano and a bunch of Revox tapes. Expansion of his
     musical horizons took place by the speed of light. He soon became a
     respected musician in former Yugoslavia, but his curiosity
     requested more of him.

     Mario Kamien - prototype of Future European. Born in Switzerland,
     German and Italian parents, even some Polish ancestors. He
     discovered his passion for music at an early age. He has been a
     keen manipulator of sound since completing his musical studies.

     Two guys met each other in Vienna in the early 90s, as music
     students. Soon after they became friends and formed the group MC
     Sultan, it became obvious that their music reflects that city's
     position as the crossroads of East and West. The band released one
     CD, Super Ethno Astronaut, which featured the club classic Der
     Bauch, hailed as an 'epic' by the press.

     In 1998 they established themselves as Dzihan & Kamien and set up
     their own label - Couch Records. Their first EP, Code: No Pork
     Please excited interest from tastemakers everywhere on its release
     in 1999. With two more EPs to follow the same year, Before/After
     and Tearoom 2004 they definitely anounced the birth of a fruitful
     and interesting label. Freaks and Icons, their debut album, bursts
     forth in 2000. Their brew of cool jazz and pulsating Eastern
     rhythms captured imaginations around the world. Result: tens of
     thousands of albums taking up residence on turntables and CD
     players across the world. Tracks from Freaks and Icons have been
     licensed for over seventy compilations worldwide, including Cafe
     Del Mar, Freezone and Hed Kandi. Remixes of this album appeared as
     Refreaked in 2001, including UFO, Hefner, Herbert, Fauna Flash,
     AtJazz and Mum among others.

     Remix requests also came in thick and fast, among others HOMELANDS
     for Nitin Sawhney and Busenfreund for Richard Dorfmeister's Tosca
     project.

     Equally historical projects were the remixes of Billie Holiday's
     sublime Don't Explain for the landmark Verve Remixed project, and
     Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin's sultry Je T'aime, Moi Non Plus
     for I Love Serge, a compilation of Gainsbourg remixes issued on the
     tenth anniversary of his death.

     In the last couple of years, - inspired by both their fathers, jazz
     musicians of the 60s and 70s - D&K shifted their focus towards an
     even more organic sound, retaining the advantages of digital
     techniques. After working around Vienna, London and Istanbul with
     guesting vocalists and musicians, they present us now with Gran
     Riserva, a magical blend of sparkling cool jazz, groovy dancefloor
     beats and compulsive Eastern spices.
