DownBeat wrote that a 2013 concert performance showed that the band "presented a dynamic update of a sound that the Brecker Brothers started more than 35 years ago."[3] Troker played the Jazzahead festival in Germany in 2015.[4]
The line-up for a 2015 performance in New York was Christian Jiménez (keyboards), Gilberto Cervantes (trumpet), Arturo 'Tiburón' Santillanes (saxophone), Samo González (bass), Frankie Mares (drums), and DJ Zero (turntables).[5] The New York City Jazz Record commented: "At one moment, you think Third-era Soft Machine has been resurrected, then that you've been transported to the Palladium Ballroom and suddenly you're in a '70s cop flick."[5]
