Since then they have performed at countless club venues, parties, and festivals around the UK, including Creamfields, Manchester International Festival, Parklife, Beatherder, the Edinburgh Festival, (4 years in a row!), playing at the E4 venue with the 'Tom Tom Crew' and on Stephen K. Amos' live stand-up comedy show, (with dancing monkeys!).

In 2010 they brought out their first, self-titled album, ('Hot Botz Brass Band' - the band changed names to Brass Beats Collective in 2021). In July 2013, (with a bigger, 6-piece band and guest MC), they released the single 'Tremor', premiering it at the Beatherder Festival. They released the single 'Free Yourself', (featuring Kathryn Pemberton), in June 2015 and 'Right Through You', was released on New Year's Day, 2021, (featuring Karmic Evolution). They intend to record and release an exciting new original album in Winter 2025.
