The LED is made up of Darren Malley and Stuart Moffat and started in 2010. Their musical backgrounds are both very different with Darren growing up with eletronic/dance music and Stuart listening to rock and indie bands. They met at local music venue The Ironworks where Stuart works and Darren DJing there doing the clubnight Audiolife. With both of them looking to produce music they got their heads together and started work on remixing in the studio. One of the main aims was to become an 'act' with the aim of being a "Live Electronic Duo" hence how the LED handle became.
