Their talent has been recognized both at home and overseas, invited to perform at the annual ''SYNERGY'' live event in the United States and even releasing a collaboration track with renowned Dutch hardstyle duo Psyko Punkz. | They didn't start off as such in 2008, but in 2010, their production shifted to almost exclusively composing hardstyle for a few years.

While many sets have been performed under the Massive New Krew name, the two aren't always seen together.
