In addition, Aspa is the owner of CF Productions (which produces the pornographic Erotic Perversion magazines and Public Obscenities videos) and Freak Animal Records (a power electronics / noise label). Clandestine Blaze has performed a few live shows in 2015 and 2016 using a session lineup. With regards to future touring plans, Aspa said: "I won’t even consider any offers beyond the level of Steelfest, which is the best festival I’m currently aware of. I’d prefer small, closed networks completely cut off from the music industry."
