Their music has taken them all over the US including appearances at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas.  Tactic has proven just as productive in the studio as they are in the club.  Their remixes and original tracks have garnered international attention and have made their way into the sets of heavyhitters like Diplo, Cosmo Baker (The Rub) and Tittsworth and been released on labels like Mad Decent, Dress 2 Sweat and Slit Jockey.  Currently they hold residencies in Kansas City at NV and Nara.  With the launch of their record label, Think 2wice, expect big things from Tactic in 2009.
