===2009-2013: New Bigroom Sound and Retro Excursions===
The duos' track: "L.E.D There Be Light", was chosen as the Trance Energy 2009 Anthem, as well as the background track to the 2009 [[Electric Daisy Carnival]] commercial. This track combined the soft-loud synth dynamic from And Then with sweeping strings and more Trancey elements. It leaked out in late 2008, which led to the early release of the "Special Download Mix".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ivibes.nu/index.php?article=5500 |title=[i:Vibes&#93; Rank1 Delivers Theme Song for Trance Energy 2009! |publisher=Ivibes.nu |date= |access-date=2012-12-24}}</ref> The track was officially released in February 2009, with remixes by [[Wippenberg]], Marcel Woods as well as an alternative "Laserlight Rework" by Rank 1 themselves.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/Rank-1-LED-There-Be-Light-Trance-Energy-Anthem-2009/release/1641495 |title=Rank 1 - L.E.D.
