He was chosen by Caribou to perform at the ATP Nightmare Before Christmas festival that they co-curated in England. Shortly after, he released an EP titled Freaking Out, featuring a cover of “Saturday Love” by Cherrelle and Alexander O’Neal.
Recently, he released a new, free interactive album available for download on Bittorent which combined both audio and visuals in collaboration with Vinyl Williams. The album was titled, Trance Zen Dental Spa. The album music and visuals are as one, an experiment of tactile listening.
