His most recent collaboration is Heart Drive with Kid Drama, a project consisting of a series of podcasts previewing autonomic tracks from the duo. dBridge has recently started creating techno and house music under the alias Velvit. Other projects of his include collaborations with producers Instra:mental (see autonomic podcasts), Fierce, Break, Survival, Calibre, and Skream.

dBridge says he has different influences for each track he makes. He begins by creating the drum beats first, and then draws inspiration from the beats to decide where the instrumentation will go from there. His music is also influenced by the way he is feeling at time of composition. He says he loves hearing imperfections in music.[5]
