They contributed significantly to the evolution of electronic pop, infusing it with an emotional resonance that transcended the dance floor, transforming nightlife into a cathartic experience. By melding uplifting melodies with rhythmic innovation, they fostered a sense of community among fans who sought both escapism and connection through music.

They harnessed the power of synths and sequencers while incorporating live instrumentation, allowing them to achieve an energetic interplay that feels both polished and spontaneous. This balance between the synthetic and the human enables their tracks to pulse with life, offering a distinctive invitation to dance. Their songwriting often navigates themes of love, liberation, and the search for belonging, conveyed through a voice that strikes a balance between sincerity and euphoric celebration. The tone is consistently optimistic, embodying a storytelling style that favors impressionistic imagery over direct narratives; this approach allows listeners to find their own meanings within the music.
