Over time he has delivered remixes for Armand Van Helden, Stromae, Eric Morillo, and additional artists. In 2016 he teamed with Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike on reinterpretations of “Ocarina,” “Universal Nation,” and “Cafe Del Mar,” the last of which reached the Belgian Top 30.

Subsequent singles included “Riot” and “Don't Talk” in 2017, followed by “Love Your Life,” “Get Down,” and “Ok Without You” in 2018. In 2019 he joined London Beat for “I've Been Thinking About You,” which peaked at number 25 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart.
