In February 2019, Nicki Minaj released her version of the song, titled "Barbie Drip". Another J.Views sample from the same Splice series was featured in the 2019 release by Australian musician Flume "Levitate (feat. Reo Cragun)".

The album was set to be completed in December 2015. Until then, fans were encouraged to interact with the DNA Project by commenting, adding sounds and images of their own, and downloading samples for use in their own music. The album was eventually released under the title 401 Days in 2016.

In November 2014, Dagan launched The DNA Project, a website presenting the step-by-step making of the next J.Views album in real-time.

The second J.Views full-length album, rivers and homes, was released in 2011. It originated as an idea Dagan dubbed "Work In Progress." Dagan began developing it in the spring of 2010. The plan was to make an album available for pre-order, and then record and release tracks gradually over the course of a year to fans who subscribed to the process.

Right after the release of “Salty Air” - the 3rd track in the process - it was selected by Revlon to be used in its 2011 advertising campaign, starring Halle Berry.

In April 2005, the debut album of J.Views, Muse Breaks, was released by Deeplay Music (Sweden).

Dagan worked on the first J.Views demo with vocalist Noa Lembersky in 2004. Soon after, tracks from that demo caught the attention of several record labels, and, in the following months, the first J.Views songs were released in over 50 compilations worldwide.
