Their fourth album 'Nipponized' was released in autumn 2008 and features re-interpretations of japanese club-music classics besides new compositions by [re:jazz]. “Electified” from 2010 is the second collection of electronic interpretations of their music. Most of the titles make reference to originals from the studio album “Nipponized” The self-chosen dogma in the earlier albums of creating acoustic versions of electronic originals is abandoned on their 2012 release "Kaleidoscope" and the repertoire focuses on own compositions.
