また、Wolfgang VoightのプロジェクトSTUDIO1へのオマージュとして2015年より始まったD.J.FulltonoとのユニットTHEATER1において、JUKEフットワークを解体・再構築し生み出したminimal footworkという概念は、後にポーランドのレーベルoutlinesを潮流としたヨーロッパにおけるminimal footworkの発展・進化の基礎となった。

2020年、自身のレーベル『DONTKILLMYVIBE』を設立。年間12枚のアルバムリリースプロジェクトを機に、他の先鋭的アーティストのリリースも精力的に行なっている。
2025年に自身４枚目の５枚組フィジカルアルバムをリリース予定。2015年から構想していた160bpmテクノを具現化した楽曲を基軸に活動を行う予定。
