In December of 2023, Dennis released a single called "Stuck In My Head" - a first of it's kind in Dennis' catalogue, as the entire vocal track was performed in falsetto with Dennis composing the track on a synthesizer. The song was featured on a Spotify curator playlist in Belgium in March of 2024 - a playlist that also featured Mac DeMarco. It was also later featured on a Spotify curator’s playlist in Brazil.

In November of 2024, Dennis released a single called "Cold Wind", which was a prelude to his upcoming album "The Grind", which later released in March 2025. Only 3 weeks after the release of “The Grind”, he released another single called “Nebula Rover”. This release signified that another album would be coming in the future.
In addition to playing live shows and recording, Dennis is a skateboarding "addict" and will often produce videos/clips of his skateboarding sessions accompanied by his own music.
