Under this name they have recorded for the european labels, Zet, Equator, Numb, Audio Assault, Planet Rhythm, and other top labels in Spain (Tsunami, Warm Up, Main Out, Rxxistance, Recycled Sound).

Besides its musical productions, Exium has worked with Fiumfoto, an Asturian graphic design and audiovisual group, on the soundtrack of various videos and short films. In these video projects, Exium combined experimental music, trip-hop, electro, electropop, etc�they were recognized with the �Nuevas Tendencias� award at the prestigious Villa de Bilbao contest.
