An electronic music project started by Kaoru Inoue, who already started his DJ career in a small clubs in Tokyo in early 90’s under the influences of Acid Jazz, after participating in a compilation called “Listen Up” in 1994.

After that, he became more active as an artist. In 2002, the second album "In Time" was released on Toy's Factory with the release of 12-inch EP "Aurora EP" on Bonjour Records, he gained a solid reputation both domestically and internationally, but since then, Kaoru has been absent from the scene under this name for a long time.
