They also collaborated with international artists like Diplo, MØ ("Stay Open (Remix)") and Hikaru Utada ("Too Proud (L1 Remix)"). They have toured around China twice with tickets sold out in all cities both tours. Their live shows are characterized by high energy performances with an injection of social commentary and self-reflection.
