They are now working on music independently, parting ways with their producers because of creative differences. The group have also recorded the song "Playing Hardball", a duet with American pop singer Adam Tyler.
In April 2012 their song "Electroqueer" was included on the compilation This Beat Is... POPTRONIK – Volume One. In May 2012 they released their third official single "Hands Up", which was later reissued as a duet with YouTube celebrity Keenan Cahill. Their latest single, "Instinctual", was released in March 2014.[citation needed]
