He also released a number of EPs, and has had various collaborations with a number of artists including Canadian act Chromeo, Robert Bruce of the UK act South Central in "Never Stop" featuring Bruce and music video directed by Antoine Wagner. He also collaborated with French rapper Orelsan, particularly in his 2010 EP N'importe comment. He performed under a mask up until his 2009 EP Toxic Is Dead, in 2009, symbolizing the death of the personality he'd donned in the group Ed Wood Is Dead. He was also subject of a documentary SuperHero 2.0 broadcast on French music station M6.[1] Delacroix's stage name is an obvious tribute to the cult B-movie of the same name.
