In 1989, he recorded "I Just Died in Your Arms" (a hi-NRG remake of the Cutting Crew song), as well as a greatest hits album. In 1994, he released another album, Strangelove, containing a number of remixes of his older songs and four mixes of the song "Strangelove" (by Depeche Mode). The last single which was released by Savage was "Don't You Want Me", which appeared on his own label, Dance World Attack Records (DWA) in 1994. This track does not appear on the Strangelove album.

As Robyx, he mainly worked as a songwriter and producer for other artists in the eurodance and euro house genres, working with Ice MC, Double You and Alexia.

At the beginning of 2019, Zanetti started recording Love and Rain, his first studio album following Tonight (1984). He worked with multiple European labels to release the album, including Polish MagicRecords and Russian RDS Records, as he was living in Poland at that time. The album was released at the beginning of 2020 and includes 14 new songs.
