He was also featured on Carl Cox’s Global Radio Show in February 2007, in the Spotlight Segment which aired to over 15 million people in 20 different countries. However, Cox’s support does not stop there; he also invited Tattoo Detectives to open for him in October 2007 at New York’s Pacha Nightclub. Lance has also been captivating crowds with his DJ sets in the US and has also been heard world wide on XM radio, Vonyc Sessions, Afterhours FM in Lima-Peru, Proton Radio and DJ Lucca’s Sound of Acapulco show in Czech Republic which aired New Years Eve in 2007.

However, the support for “Il Salto Fuori” didn’t just stop with Cox, it become a regular in Paul Van Dyk’s DJ sets as well. PVD selected the track for his "Cream Ibiza" CD which released June 2008. Paul told millions of listeners on his Vonyc Show 102 "The Ibiza 2008 season is inspired by the Tattoo Detectives." It just doesn't stop with that one track. Carl's "Space Ibiza CD" released on Intec in July 2006 also featured Tattoo Detectives "ETC" and was picked as one of the best songs at Carl's Ibiza Parties in the summer of 2006.
