'Moodphase5ive - Super Deluxe Mode' is a collection of remixes from 'Steady On' by a variety of top and up-n-coming South African producers and remix artists, supplemented by live takes from SA and European tours. The first single is 'Got To Give', featuring the all-girl rapping trio Godessa, which came about as result of a collaboration with the AIDS-awareness program 'Steps to the Future'. The track deals with taking responsibility in sexual relationships, and is coupled with an excellent video produced by Big World Cinema and directed by Eddie Edwards.

The album runs from start to finish like a customised 'mixtape' – with remixes ranging in style from hednod hiphop thru dub, funk and downtempo to broken-beat, drum 'n bass and even gangsta 2-step, spiced with freaky interludes of the band's jam sessions and live takes from tours in Africa and Europe. The album features remixes by established names Kalahari Surfers, Felix Laband, Mime, Syllabic and Anti-Hero, and showcases newcomers Bombshelter Hi-Fi, Agent Cooper, Drugless Lovestrong and more.
