Their body of work includes, but is not limited to, tracks like "MIXXTAPE," where they showcase their versatility and ability to blend genres, and "Don Gorgon (O.B.F Special)," which demonstrates their unique interpretation of dancehall-infused dub. With the release of tracks such as "Bittersweet" and "Reggae Rub-A-Dub," they continue to affirm their position in the scene, exploring the intersections of contemporary electronic music with traditional reggae rhythms. The ensemble has a knack for innovation as demonstrated in the bass-heavy "The Vibe" and the captivating "Trees (Monty Remix)."
