Posljednji priznat domaći hit, ujedno izdan i na maxi singlu, je remix pjesme Svjetla grada, grupe Colonia. Za ovaj remix dobivaju nagradu Croatia Recordsa, jer je njihova verzija Svjetla grada proglašena najboljom u konkurenciji od čak 400 pristiglih radova.

Osim produkcijskog rada, Hot Jay se na domaćoj sceni može pohvaliti i singlom Furaj me, napravljenim u suradnji s 60nine-om koji je, uz remixeve već provjerno dobrog partnera Casha izdan na promo midem sampleru izdavačke kuće Kondorcomm i autorima donio novi uspjeh.

Osim tog izdanja potpisuje i mnogo bootlega te mega mixeva koji se i danas mogu skidati s popularnih web stranica i P2P servisa. Takav je i ljetni hit 2008 godine, mash Pyanoo Yeke, koji se puštao diljem svijeta . Ubrzo nakon hita Pyanoo Yeke, stiže i prizanje za njihov produkcijski rad, pa tako u kolovozu 2008. godine potpisuje ugovor s izdavačkom kućom Kingdom of music iz Njemačke, te s Cashom izdaje maxi singl Only love. Taj singl doživio i svoje novo izdanje Only love 2009. Također za istu izdavačku kuću. Maxi singl Only love 2009. bio je promoviran iste godine u Miamiu na WMC-u i na FG radiju, a suportali su ga poznati svjetski dj-i Jerry Ropero, Denis the Menace & Big world, Michi Lange,Tristan Garner. Only love 2009 ujedno je jedan od najvećih klupskih hitova u Hrvatskoj, što je dokazao i na plesnoj top listi radio deejay-a, a ujedno se isti singl pokazao provjerenim hitom na kompilaciji Papaya 2009.

 Dvojac Hot Jay i Cash i dalje nastavljaju marljivo  raditi te krajem kolovoza 2010 zavrsavaju remix za pjesmu Fuego. Sredinom rujna 2011 izdaju remix pjesme All we need is love, napravljen u suradnji s poznatim vokalistom Inusom Dawudom, s kojim su Hot Jay i Cash već  surađivali na remixu singla My life is a party 2008 godine. Posljednji remixevi radjeni su za Damira Pushkara, E-baseov singl Move on me.
