Under the pseudonym 'The Artist Also Known As', he broke out into the scene with 'Eating Donuts', a remix of 'Song 2' by Blur.
In 2013, Coone teamed up with fellow Belgian's Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike to produce the festival hit entitled 'Madness' which featured vocals from Lil Jon, which was released on Dim Mak Records, this led to further Coone releases on Dim Mak Records in the lead up to his album 'Global Dedication' - which was released in November 2013. Coone collaborated with Steve Aoki on a song entitled 'Can't Stop The Swag' and also made a remix for Linkin Park X Steve Aoki 'A Light That Never Comes' in January 2014.
