Bu seyahatin basinda, 10. Roxy Muzik Yarismasi’na katilarak, “Roxy Ozel Odulu”nu kazandilar. Ardindan, uzun suren sessizlik doneminde bugunku sarkilarinin bir kismina imza attilar. Cesitli kadro degisikliklerinin ardindan Mai, once Burak Gokce’nin ve bir sure sonra da Cem Gezginti’nin katilimiyla bugunku halini ald--. 2006 yilinda “Kaderin Zarlari” isimli parcayi kaydettiler ve cektikleri kliple bircok kanalda yer aldilar. Kendi sarkilarindan olusan repertuarla; Roxy, Peyote, Balans, Studio Live, Dogzstar, Crimson gibi mekanlarda, cesitli universitelerde ve rock festivallerinde bircok konser verdiler. 2007 yili Haziran ayinda 6 parcadan olusan bir demo hazirladilar ve demo sayesinde oldukca buyuk bir dinleyici kitlesine de ulasmis oldular. Saykedelik ogelerin, 70’lerden yadigar tadin, grunge ruhunun, baskalasim gecirip karisarak Mai’nin ruhuna girdigi bir gercektir. Mai bu ruhla, konserler vermeye devam etmektedir.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4**
