On December 3, 2009, Cassettes Won't Listen hosted MTV2's Subterranean, a video show centered on independent musicians. In October 2010, Cassettes Won't Listen announced a brand new instrumental side project under the name, Dfalt. He launched the project with a free mixtape titled The Stupid Rifle Mixtape and made it available via Dfalt.com, along with a free self-titled EP via Definitive Jux Records. 2010 also saw a resurgence from the producer in terms of remixes under the Cassettes Won't Listen moniker, with remixes for Gold Panda, Daft Punk, The Death Set featuring Diplo, amongst others. In April 2011, Cassettes Won't Listen announced the release date of his latest album, KEVINSPACEY, on Daylight Curfew, his recently founded artist collective / record label. On May 12 he was served with a cease and desist from actor Kevin Spacey and his legal team forcing him to change the name of his upcoming record. The "K" was dropped effectively renaming the record to EVINSPACEY. The record was released on June 21, 2011 via Daylight Curfew. A new EP, Casa, was released via Daylight Curfew on August 14, 2012. Cassettes Won't Listen issued an essay detailing the process and inspiration behind the release and effectively put the CWL project on hiatus (possibly indefinite) in order to focus on his new project, Dfalt, and record label, Daylight Curfew.
