Shagon, in the meanwhile has released the Ragga - Electro banger BLAZE & COOK , with Stereotyp and Al Haka , on Klein Records.
Mic appeared on the Rodney Hunter debut LP "The Hunterfiles" on the song called "There`s a reason" and has also started a solo project along side DJ Paul Synapzz , known as AUDIOFEST.They got Heads anticipating their first official release especially after bieng on a central european tour with US Westcoast Legends "Dilated Peoples, that took them to the Czech Republic, Switzerland, Germany and Belgium.
Shadee kept it on the low focusing on the groups business aspects.

Nothing To Lose
Aphrodelics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're not expecting rainbow colored skies
Not right away
Nothing to lose, it might be fun
No talk of spending lifetimes in the sun
Although we may
Both you and I have seen what love can do
We'll only hurt ourselves
What can we lose, we know the score
Let's wait before we talk of evermore
One day we may
Nothing to lose
But much to gain if love decides to stay
Nothing to lose, nothing to lose
Nothing to lose, nothing to lose
The lyrics to Aphrodelics’ song “Nothing to Lose” describes two individuals embarking on a relationship without any expectations. The song suggests that despite the dangers of love and the possibility of it not working out, the risk is worth taking. The lyrics “Nothing to lose if we are wise” suggest that wisdom will aid in the process of the relationship. The lyrics “We’re not expecting rainbow colored skies / Not right away” suggest that the two individuals are not expecting immediate happiness in the relationship. The phrase “Although we may” suggests that happiness may come along eventually, but it shouldn’t be a priority at the moment. The lyrics “Both you and I have seen what love can do / We'll only hurt ourselves / If we build dreams that don't come true” suggest that the two individuals have had experiences in the past that have taught them that setting unrealistic expectations for a relationship will only lead to pain.
The chorus of the song repeats “Nothing to lose, nothing to lose,” which reinforces the idea that the two individuals are willing to take a risk despite the outcomes that may come. The phrase “But much to gain if love decides to stay” suggests that the outcome of the relationship is uncertain, but if it does work out, it will be worth it.
Overall, the song suggests that taking risks in love can be worth it, but it is important to have realistic expectations and not set oneself up for disappointment.
