Since then the two have released dozens of original productions and remixes on numerous labels across the UK, Europe and North America. In 2006, Ned joined Sultan as a regular artist on Deep Dish’s renowned Yoshitoshi Records with “Connected” and the guitar-laden “Together We Rise,” both included on Sharam’s highly successful “Global Underground 029: Dubai” CD’s, Armin Van Buuren’s State of Trance and Dave Seaman’s Renaissance Masters compliation.

In 2008, Ned and Sultan launched their label, Harem Records, where their original productions continue to top the charts and receive prasie from DJ’s of all different styles around the globe.

In addition, Ned continues to DJ in Montreal and around the world, having already played alongside top DJ’s such as Tiesto, Deep Dish, Paul Van Dyk, and Sander Kleinenberg.
