Its members — Arjun Vagale (laptop,mixing,electronics),Ashvin Mani Sharma (laptop and synths),Ash Roy (vocals and percussions) and G-Force Arjun (bass guitar) — are now going their separate ways as they look at concentrating on their solo careers and various other side projects. The band’s manager,Dev Bhatia,confirmed the news. The group launched its debut album One Point Nothing back in 2009 and since then,there’s been no looking back for the band that has enjoyed success both in the Indian and international music circuit.They put India on the international EDM map,thereby breaking the myth that dance music is a Western domain.
