Cold project is Ian Jukes AKA G.E.M_37 (1978) and Ivan Steyn AKA Sense (1978). Both hail from completely different musical backgrounds, but both have a common interest in dark electronic dance music produced in early 2000's from the likes of Son Kite, Tegma and Ticon and many more of the forest trance scandanavian producers. Cold Project came to be in late 2005, with a will to create something dark and different within the local South African scene, and a goal to create music which bridges the ever growing gap between progressive and fullon trance.

Cold Project aims to make music with enough headroom to get lost in, within the darker spectrum of trance. Over the years they have tweaked their sound into something special. A sound that is true to the word progressive as each live set aims to take you from the lighter sideof the evening all the way into deep night time progressive. The music is serious and moody with big sounds and grinding electronic beats.
