TV Rock collaborated with Melbourne dance team Dukes of Windsor for their third single release "The Others" which reached No.10 in Australia in June 2007 and spent 20 weeks inside the Australian Top 50.[1]

Their debut album, Sunshine City, was released on 25 November 2006.

The duo founded a dance record label, Neon Records, which manages fellow Melburnian DJs Dirty South & Denzal Park and singer Zoe Badwi.

In early 2013, Gough left TV Rock to pursue solo projects.
