They run in the same orbit as Knife Party, Rusko, Kill the Noise, Grafix and Zomboy, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Zeds Dead, Oliver Tree, The Big Mash Up, Porter Robinson and Baauer, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
