1990: Daniel Paul and Zky begin their musical careers. Zky is a DJ and plays his first gigs in Berlin clubs like the 'Ständigen
Vertretung' at the Tacheles. Daniel Paul establishes a small studio in his shared flat and starts to produce his first tracks. Over the years they
run into each other and discover their shared love of electronic music. They decide to set up their own studio. In the following years, they release
tracks on the Dutch record label Dance Arena Productions and Elecktrick, under pseudonyms like Abrax, Karo Zwo Fremde and Princess. Before founding
their own label, Cabinet Records, in 1994, they release music on the Canadian label Stickman Records.

With Cabinet Records, they develop the typical Cabinet sound and create a powerful presence on the turntables both in and out of
Berlin. Next to Horseshoe, Compass and The Poor Knight, Cab Drivers becomes one of their most important projects.

2000: The musical paths of the two creators temporarily separate. Zky takes a musical hiatus which ends in 2004 with a live project
in collaboration with Fritz Kalkbrenner, which has him performing at various clubs and festivals. Daniel Paul embarks on a series of joint projects
and ventures. One of these projects is Slope, created together with the artist 'Honesty'.

|
|
2008: The two men get back into the studio together. Over the next two years they produce countless tracks, mostly for themselves
and the musicians in their circle of friends.
|
|
|
2010: Todd Bodine and Tom Clark, the label bosses at Berlin's Highgrade records, come knocking on the studio door. They want to
know what is driving the two musicians. After a long listening session it becomes clear that the Cab Drivers' music must once again be released,
this time on Highgrade. This completes the circle, for in the 1990's, Tom and Todd were themselves artists released on Cabinet Records.
