Their third album and AV-show Pitch Blender blends a tight set of cybernetic dancefloor experiments that flicker between the rave and the art space. The album was followed by a remix EP that boast an exciting line up consisting of Jana Rush, Scratcha DVA, MC Yallah, Kasimyn and Jessica Ekomane.

Their most recent project, 30K, was conceptualized in Uganda and mixes Mc Pherson’s sci-fi sonics with with singeli pioneer Jay Mitta's breakneck beats and Malian veteran DJ Diaki's unmistakable soundsystem energy.
