Ant and Graham are based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire and have been producing for around four years.

For both of them their general interest in dance music all kicked off back in their school days. LFO, 808 State, and some of the rave stuff like Prodigy, Altern 8 etc that was getting in the charts at the time.

Grahams interest in writing music developed in college when he began messing around with beats and samples, where As for Ant it was the dj'ing side that grabbed him first. He remembers a 'Grooverider @ Fantazia Tape from 1992 in particular that really got him hooked. At 14 he bought some belt drive turntables and a few months later he got his first slot on pirate radio, then he progressed on to playing in clubs at 16, production came a few years later

In the earlier jungle days it was artists like Omni Trio, Roni Size, Die, Krust, Doc Scott, Hidden agenda all that definitely had an impact on the pair, inspiring them to get involved with music. However, inspiration for their own tunes is something different. As Ant says "it can come from going out, an idea popping into your head at a strange moment, a wicked sample you've found, or just what mood you're in at the time".

TC1 & Stress Level's tracks to date have received strong support with Fabio airing nine of their tracks to date so far on his Radio 1 show, Grooverider has recently aired the remix of "Satisfy" on his Radio 1 show also. Their tracks have also received support from the likes of Bailey, Flight, Friction, Dbridge & L-Double (all on 1xtra) and club play on dub from the likes of - Goldie, Klute, Zinc, Calibre, Hidden Agenda, Artificial Intelligence, A-sides, Simon Bassline, Total science, High Contrast, LTJ Bukem, Brian G, DJ Lee and Storm to name but a few.

In addition to this TC1 is still running the general management side of 'Dispatch Recordings' as well as continuing to promote "Momentum" every month in Leeds.
