In 2012 Funkin Matt came in touch with Fool's Gold Records boss A-Trak and went on to releasing "I Wish" on the Brooklyn based label.[2] This caught the attention of Tiesto which reached out to Ronander, prompting him to later release the "Alive" EP on Tiesto's Musical Freedom.[3]
Later in 2012, Ronander started working with US label Mad Decent, run by Diplo. He went on to release "Rapture" and "MAD" on the same label, the latter of which was featured in Ubisofts video game "The Crew".[4] He also did guest mixes for both Diplo and Tiesto on their respective BBC Radio 1 radio shows.[5][6]
