The new sound, enhanced by keyboards, vocoder, samples, and electronic drums, eventually brought in hundreds of dancing people at their shows. Soon, the band released the vinyl-only EP ON & ON. After playing the 2000 South by Southwest music festival and negotiating with record labels, they released Le Funk on their own label, ON! Records, in June 2002. In summer 2002, VHS or Beta toured with I Am the World Trade Center. Chea Beckley was added for the bands performances to handle vocoder, samples, and keyboards. By the time the bands Astralwerks debut, Night on Fire, arrived in 2004, their sound owed more to dance-punk than Daft Punk.
