After signing for Young Turks, Koreless was featured in a label showcase on BBC Radio 1 broadcast live at Maida Vale Studios in London with a live string quartet. During January 2014, Koreless supported Scottish band Mogwai during UK dates at the Royal Festival Hall at the Southbank Centre in London. Koreless performed his set with a string trio composed of double bass, cello and violin. Koreless had his live Australian debut in May 2014 as part of a line up for Sydney record label Future Classic's now yearly studio party at Sydney's Vivid Festival.

He supported Caribou on his 2015 European and North American live tour. On 9 April 2015, Koreless played alongside fellow electronic artists and composers James Holden and Luke Abbott in a special show at the Barbican Centre to pay homage to the work and influence of electronic pioneer and minimalist composer Terry Riley.
