  • 2004: Hypu Japan put out a promotional compilation on cd featuring 2 songs of our later to be released EP.
  • 2003: More Than Loops was just that, more than just loops. This album was a cd showcasing what 40 Winks stood for and it turned out to be a real door opener.
  • 2002: Our first planned release saw the light, a 60 minute tape with all new tracks & interludes of ours. It's called Hit the Hay.
  • 2002: A demo cd named April to July officially marked the beginning. The demo featured, you guessed it, music made between April and July. We used "April to July" as a beattape to pass around and get people's attention.
  • ...2000: Everything started on the turntables, cutting and scratching. Not long after that we started making beats, searching for our own sound.
