He contacted Milosh, who was at the time living in Berlin, and asked him to fly to Copenhagen, Denmark to meet him.

Based on their earlier cooperation in Denmark, the two agreed to continue working together, forming the duo Rhye, initially as an internet-based mystery, posting several singles online, but without providing any background information or contact details.

In June 2017, Rhye released the split single featuring the songs "Please" and "Summer Days".
