Early releases included the Flipside EP on Disturbed Recordings and the Metamorphosis EP on Close 2 Death Recordings. A 2012 single, Trained to Battle, came out on Suspect Device Productions.

Other labels connected to his releases include Eatbrain, Blackout Music NL, MethLab Recordings, Evolution Chamber and Hoofbeats Music. Merikan joined Pythius for “Chimaera” and Gancher & Ruin for “Boss Fight”; a separate 2024 release paired Merikan with Pythius on Ultimatum (Merikan Remix), issued by PRSPCT Recordings.
