Fast forward to 2008, and Lady Duracell was asked to choose, arrange licensing, and mix the music for Nell McAndrew's latest fitness DVD (Cardio, Core and Stretch). This is now available in the shops and features music from Audiowhores, DJ Gregory, Liquid People and more, it also features Queen of Funk's Es Paradis. Es Paradis was used online and in the TV advert.
