The 2004 Le Mans debut, “Coldlife in the Fastlane," pioneered the DeLorean meets Miami Vice retro-future aesthetic and provided the underground with its first downtown driving-at-night-under-neon-light anthem, "Citi de Frag.” As artist PlasticGod sums it up in 2024, Le Mans was “synthwave before synthwave.”

With Disco Related Injury (2005), mixed to emulate vintage cassette playback, Le Mans surprised the now-international fan base with darker, almost industrial, textures; while showcasing innovations in edm, coldwave, hip hop, and vocals. The album features cameos from electro scene luminaries, mentors, and even Beyonce’s star guitarist. Shortly after the release, Jamisin was invited to appear on My Chemical Romance’s Life On The Murder Scene as the real life demolition groom.

Swirling guitars, goth meets r&b vocals, and industrial-pop flourishes mark the musically influential Third Date (2006). True to form, certain tracks were even re-recorded with scrappy synths replacing some of the originally recorded expert humans.

Le Mans side projects include the darkwave-retro-rave duo, God Punished Me (I Think God Punished Me, 2007) and Disco Related Injury (English Rose, 2006). DRI samples its name from the second Le Mans album.

SinTex, the unexpected dark country western duo fronted by Matthews, dropped its restored late-1990s recordings on a cassette/streaming mini album entitled Dusty Trax in 2024.
