The follow-up came out in 2001. Asked by designer Yves St. Laurent for three tracks for their Yves' Cakewalk show, Alex ended up composing ten tracks. He then asked French underground artist, Demon, to give the music a more "clubbier" feeling. The end result was a critically acclaimed album titled Wuz, which used elements found in "You, My Baby, and I" but had its own distinct sound.
Alex Gopher continues to produce original tracks for Solid. He did release an EP titled "I Need Change" for BTK Records.
He also continues to tour in Spain, Italy, Australia, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, the UK and Brazil.
