The duo released a full-length album in 2002, which turned out to be a departure from their usual sound with a larger focus on the breaks and down-tempo sounds of the electronic music spectrum. The CD received mixed reviews, and [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=1128"]Cass[/url] & Slide's production/remix out-put halted when [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=1128"]Cass[/url]' Fire label folded in early 2003.

They had successful collaborations with BT and [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=310"]Carl Craig[/url], and several of their remixes were instant classics, including their remixes of "Hideaway" by De'Lacy, and Sandy B's "Make The World Go 'Round". Their "Yoshiesque" and "Global Underground: Moscow" mix-cds brought them massive acclaim around the turn of the century. They run the popular house label Yoshitoshi Recordings, as well as its sister labels Shinichi and Yo!.
