Real Time Hand Motion began as a live PA in 1999 when Carson Carr aka “Busy” and Christian Thomas aka "Crux" brought together fellow Nashville percussionists to play dance music on drum pads. In the years following, RTHM morphed through members and gear including countless midi controllers, drum pads and even gaming joysticks for sculpting sounds live. During the Ableton Live boom at the turn of the millennium, RTHM was recognized for helping pioneer controllerism and found themselves lecturing at universities and music schools across the US discussing live electronic music performance and studio techniques.

In 2005, after cranking out hundreds of broken beat and house tunes, Busy and Crux hit their stride in four- on- the- floor territory with a vinyl EP debut on DJ Sneak's Oomph Recordings. This release pollinated dance floors around the world via Mark Farina, DJ Heather and countless others at the top of the House Music food chain.

Going on to produce numerous chart topping tracks for their favorite labels, RTHM's intricate sound garnered reviews declaring their records "a buy on site affair" and in 2010 Busy and Crux launched their own label, Knocturnal Emissions which continues to dowse dance floors in a full spectrum of beats from the hottest names in Electronic Music.
