Sasha Perera, Oren Gerlitz and Robot Koch first met in Berlin in 2002. Through a friend of a friend, Sasha heard Robot’s beats and Robot heard Sasha’s voice. The two started meeting up sporadically in a smoky home-studio in Neu Kölln. They recorded ‘Black Barbie’ and the rest is history.

Sasha Perera is a London-born Sri Lankan who moved from the UK to Berlin in 2000. It was only in Berlin, that she started messing about with vocals and electronic beats and slowly made a name in the city for herself as the freakiest frontwoman with the freshest beats! Apart from writing the songs, playing her trumpet and shakin’ her booty, Sasha is also known for Grimetime and Boombox, the parties she started organizing back in 2004, bringing some of the UK’s hottest urban talent over to Berlin for the first time ever.

Robot Koch is the insomniac German beat producer. He has two side projects The Tape (Kyo) and Autodrive (Tonkind) and he is a workaholic coz he just can’t stop making them beats baby. Long Live the Koch! Oren Gerlitz, aka Baba Massive, moved from Tel Aviv to Berlin in 2001.

Oren is the only member of the band who is a trained musician. Oren is the sound nerd of the band, plays bass and guitar, co-produces the tracks with Robot and mixes them down giving them the creaminess and TLC they deserve.
