The creative partnership of Martin Sauer and  Jeff Sawodny aka Duce & Jeff FX began when they met in 2004. While Martin was studying  audio engineering, Jeff had been around in the vital electronic music scene of Berlin for years, spinning regularely at well known venues like „90 Grad “, „Sage Club“ and “Linientreu“.<o:p></o:p>

Together they decided to spend some time in the studio which worked out exceptionally well.<o:p></o:p>

Electronic-music pioneer Westbam got hand on their first demo and gave them the opportunity to release it on his Electric Kingdom-Label making the  track„Do It“ their debut release in 2004. They also appeared on the Mayday Compilation „Prototypes“ with „Hearts Of Man“<o:p></o:p>

In 2005 Martin and Jeffrey founded their production company „FF1 Berlin”, to have a platform for their various aliases „Duce & Jeff FX“, „Vision Factory“ , „Da Nu Alliance“and “Justin Lemar”. They quickly succeeded with the next production „Breakdown“ which had gained the attention of the well-known swedish mixmaster Martin Brodin, who also signed their collaboration with House-legend Tyree Cooper for his „Just For Fun“-Label. Smoothly combining a broad range of electro and house elements, their remix of Steve´n´Kings „Bounce“ secured them a regular spot in playlists of well known performers like Stonebridge and Steve Porter, who also reviewed the track in „DJ Mag“.<o:p></o:p>

Further releases included a rework of Electro-classic „Action“ by „Da Nu Alliance“ (Tom Novy playlist) and a remix of „Too shy“ by 80s-legend Limahl.<o:p></o:p>
