Vlado dZihan is originally from Sarajevo and grew up in a predominantly musical household. As a drummer, dZihan became known in the local scene and recorded for the soundtrack of the film Arizona Dream, starring Johnny Depp and Faye Dunaway. He met his production partner, Mario Kamien, while studying in Vienna. Kamien, German born with both an Italian and Polish heritage, shared {dZihan's} interest of traditional music from the Near East, especially Turkey, and a love for Arabic strings. Combining their musical interests with their musical backgrounds, the two released Freaks and Icons on their label, Couch Records. The album focused on a down-tempo house sound, using samples from traditional Near East sources. It was proceeded by three EP's, Tearroom 2004, [ B]efore [A]fter, and Code: No Pork Please. The mix album Refreaked appeared a year later, followed by 2002's Gran Riserva.
dzihan & Kamien run their own record label Couchrecords in Vienna.

Every morning I wake up
I hear clock the clock ticking away, ticking away, ticking away
Today, sunny day in my heart, everyday, sunny day
No rain is falling down my face again
'cos I feel like
'cos today is like
So I smile
So so I smile
'cos I feel like
'cos today is like

Every morning I wake up
At the start of each day, I open my eyes
I hear clock the clock ticking away, ticking away, ticking away
I listen to the steady tick-tock of the clock as each second passes by
Today, sunny day in my heart, everyday, sunny day
My heart feels sunny and bright today, and I hope it will feel the same every day
No rain is falling down my face again
I am not shedding tears or feeling sad at this moment
I will let no rain fall down' my face again
I am determined to not let sadness or tears affect me anymore

Because today feels similar to
So I smile
I express my happiness and contentment through a smile
So so I smile
I smile with all the joy I can muster
