Green is now based in Los Angeles, having spent time in New York, and spoke of his sixth album’s progress to Billboard in November, saying:

“It’s really coming together. I haven’t been thinking about the overall bigger picture. I’ve just been building creative momentum, every day making music and not really worrying about it. Fifty percent of what I’ve worked on is never going to get heard, but I think the important thing is just working. I really like what I’ve got so far.”

The DJ also talked of expanding his repertoire into radio shows, two-day parties and possibly a label in the future. He performed his first ‘Outlier’ radio show in December.
