Another discharge, Sickness through Clairvoyance on Our Circula Audio, appeared toward the finish of 2012, along with another EP, Electric razors, for Mote Evolver. With remixes and DJ slot machine games taking precedence, aswell as work beneath the Alexander Lewis and Covered in Fine sand guises, 2013 was fairly calm for Shifted produces. The start of the year noticed the discharge of The Cool Light, Pts. 1 & 2 on Brewer’s very own Avian Information, while a gathering with Dominick Fernow (Prurient, Vatican Darkness) noticed the discharge of the next Shifted record, Under an individual Banner, on Fernow’s very own Bed of Fingernails label by the end of the entire year. Brewer once more remained reasonably calm for the creation entrance throughout 2014, with only a couple of remixes viewing the light of time, as well as the two-part EP Preparations in Monochrome showing up by the end of the entire year on Avian. Carrying on to DJ and perform live throughout 2015, Brewer came back in 2016 using the three-track EP Six Actions to Resurgence by himself label, Avian.
