DJ Merci has released work both in tandem with The Checkup and on his own, going digital via 〈Nervous〉 and earning Kerri Chandler's trust with releases on 〈Madhouse Records〉 and 〈Kaoz Theory〉. A1 "Waves" is soft and jazzy, chilled out, with a unique sense of time that shifts into a four-on-the-floor groove midway through. A2 features the legend himself, Robert Owens.
