His production experienced considerable commercial success, which led him to consider going solo and creating the stage name, San Holo.

[citation needed] In September 2014, Walt Disney Pictures threatened a lawsuit against Van Dijck.

On 11 March 2016, he released the New Sky EP, with a second single and music video on Monstercat called "They Just Haven't Seen It", featuring David Chris.

The accompanying music video shows the theme of self-referential irony and van Dijck's struggle with false expectation and self-preservation.

van Dijck aims to embrace the fact that not all days are equally "vibrant" and emphasizes that life is all about ups and downs.

The percentage sign is used as a mood meter, and he encourages his fans to use it to show how blessed they are feeling that day, without having to put it into words.
