That year, Baasch signed a deal with Nextpop and published his debut full-length album, Corridors.[11] A companion album, Re_Corr,[12] came out in 2016 and consisted of remixes of songs from Corridor by various artists. On 21 April 2017, Baasch issued his third studio album, Grizzly Bear with a Million Eyes,[13] which spawned the singles "Kind of Coma" and "Dare to Take (feat. Mary Komasa)".

In 2020, Baasch signed with PIAS and issued his first Polish-language album, titled Noc, producing the singles "Brokat", "Cienie", and "Miasto". In 2021, he scored the musical Balladyna. Echa Grobowych Rozwalin[14] and subsequently published NCRMX,[15] a collection of remixes of tracks from Noc by various artists.

Baasch began issuing his fourth album, titled IV, in several parts. The first one, IV!I,[16] was released on 15 September 2023, following the "Wosk" and "Słońce" singles. Further instalments were already teased during summer festival shows, including an Audioriver Festival performance in Płock, where Baasch appeared together with German electronic artist Rosa Anschütz.[17]
