- Otti Van Der Werf (bass)
- Isolde Lasoen (drums)

The second album, "Bridge Burner", is released in 2002 and their big breakthrough. The biggest hit, Swedish Designer Drugs, marks the beginning of a career in electronic music. At the same time, Dead Man Ray decides to take some time off, and Daan Stuyven is able to focus on his soloproject.
They carry on making electronic music and with adding kitsch, their third album "Victory" is released in 2004. Again, the album is a huge success, including the hit singles "Victory", "Addicted" and "Housewife". It quickly achieves golden status, and Daan receives the Zamu award for best album in 2004.
Daan Stuyven is also a popular soundtrack composer for indie films. In 2005 "Cinema", a compilation album of his soundtrack compositions, is released.
