The story begins in the year 2000 on the streets of New York City with a bootleg copy of Crossover’s debut album Fantasmo. Word traveled fast, and their music was being played all over the city. VEE & DEZ brought a copy to DJ Hell of International DeeJay Gigolo Records. This meeting marks the start of CROSSOVER’s whirlwind adventure. Beginning with their first ever performance during Berlin’s Loveparade weekend at Club WMF, sharing the stage with Miss Kittin & The Hacker, Fischerspooner, and Vitalic - just to name a few. Shortly after, the duo sets off for a 28-date tour throughout Europe and major cities in America. From New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles to Canada, Germany and Spain. Belgium, Holland, Switzerland to London, Paris, and Rome. CROSSOVER set stages ablaze to enthusiasts worldwide. Their intense multi-media show combines art, music, theatre, film and in no way is your typical concert. Those in attendance always walk away with something in hand, be it “Mystik Trucker” paraphernalia or a copy of CROSSOVER’s Pirate Communique (hand-bound books published by The M/T/A). Some of these performances include very special events such as; an exclusive UK show at the Electric Stew party, Colette’s 5th year anniversary-Paris, Barcelona’s Sonar Festival, and the unique Shari Vari festival in Switzerland. Also mentionable is Sonic Mook Experiment’s “Future Rock & Roll” weekend with CROSSOVER opening for the legendary Suicide. As well as headlining the closing of the WMF club-Berlin.

All this hard work paid off with incredible media attention from an array of magazines to radio play. From television to the catwalks of major fashion shows. Having features in NME, ID, The Face to the “choice” pick in the Saturday London Times. They gained the “stamp of approval” from John Peel on his radio show, and were featured on BBC’s Ross Allen show. Their music wins constant rotation on Radio NOVA, and climbed from #10 to #2 on Ralf Summers “Zundfunk” BR3 radio. CROSSOVER also received attention from German MTV, Belgian MTV and Paris’ famous Fashion TV, which led to televised interviews. VEE & DEZ also had the opportunity to have their portraits taken by Rock photographer Mick Rock (David Bowie, Queen, Lou Reed) and art photographer Terry Richardson (Sisley, Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue). A handful of songs from CROSSOVER’s album were sub-licensed to many great compilations, including Rough Trade’s Best of 2002 (Mute). And were used for fashion shows such as Chanel, Christian Dior, Chaiken & Capone, Pauric Sweeney and most recently Balenciaga. Further fruits of their labor include collaborations with recording artists and producers; Mount Sims, Adamski (Killer, NRG) and Canada’s Tiga (Sunglasses at night)- Turbo Records, International Deejay Gigolo Records.
