The band was made up of Oakenfold, Osborne, Nick Divaris,Johny Rocca and Micky. It released three EPs.[1] The first one, "Jibaro", was an unacknowledged cover version of a rare Latin-funk song originally composed and recorded by Elkin & Nelson,[2] a Colombian act based in Spain in the 1970s, which was a part of the original "Balearic beat" of the late 1980s.[3]
