NVDES was dubbed "Apple's unofficial house band"[2] after the band was featured in various Apple commercials over the years. In January 2018, the song "D.Y.T. (Do Your Thing)",[3] featuring Remmi,[4] was featured in an iPhone X commercial.[5] The song "Brazooka" was featured in the iPhone 11 commercial in September 2019, and in April 2020, the song "Purusha" was featured in the iPhone SE commercial.[2]
