The project was called Blasterjaxx. When it folded, Thom continued with the Blasterjaxx label himself. Jongkind had a few collaborations with Idir Makhlaf, then operating under the name Macosta. Makhlaf eventually joined Blasterjaxx and in 2012, the Reborn EP was released with D-Rashid containing two tracks: "Reborn" and "Where We Go" with Laidback Luke signing the tracks at his own label Mixmash Records.
