Lázár uses self-developed software to create and perform live, and his performances additionally involve computer-controlled stage lights that envelop the listener in a full-body perceptual experience.

His seventh studio album Boundary Object collects eight tracks and is released by Planet Mu. According to Pitchfork »Lazar's sound is rawer in concept than his peers', and manipulated with an implacable, impressive fussiness most producers would never attempt. But what truly sets him apart is something both universal in appeal and organic in spirit: He uses his art, in all its permutations, in order to be himself.«

A collaboration with Mark Fell, The Neurobiology of Moral Decision Making, was rated #11 on Rolling Stone magazine's chart of 20 Best Avant Albums of 2015, and described by Normal Records as "»some of the most rhythmically radical and seizure-inducing futurist electronica being made on earth right now.« His album Unfold, made for the club context, was rated #7 by Fact magazine, and 29 by DJ Mag, in the publications' Top 50 Albums lists, and ranked #24 and #30 by The Quietus and Boomkat respectively, in their Top 100 lists of 2018. The album was followed by another release, Source, for Planet Mu in 2020.

Lázár has performed at festivals, clubs, and institutions such as CTM Festival Berlin, Berlin Atonal, ZKM Karlsruhe, Mutek Barcelona, Unsound Festival Krakow, Rewire Festival The Hague, Stockholm Modern Museum, House of Electronic Arts Basel, the Empty Gallery Hong Kong, Barcelona Santa Monica Art Centre, and Stockholm EMS.
