Two of his albums were released during the span of 2008 and 2010, titled '' Pictures'' and ''Phantasma'', respectively. By the following year, which coincided with his complete dropping out of ''DJ Mag''s list of the top 100 DJs, his musical style began to change, as depicted in "Disco Davai" among others. At the end of 2014, Bolier started working on his third album under his new alias WSTLNDR. The 12-track work, titled ''Atmostopia'', featured his complete return to his original creative roots which were not seen in his repertoire since the release of ''Phantasma''. The album was released on Black Hole on 14 September 2015.
