Whethan Breaks New Ground With Latest Single, “Warning Signs” With Kevin George
It’s rare to find a musician as versatile as Whethan, who, with his debut album FANTASY, flexed on his fans with a groundbreaking arrangement of work unbounded by genre. His latest, “Warning Signs” with Kevin George, further develops this vision as Whethan dips his toes into a unique blend of electronica, hip-hop and rap. It is the young gun’s first release since FANTASY and while it doesn’t integrate any of the album’s signature pop-rock sounds, its palpable energy is equal parts fun and youthful. Out April 23rd via Atlantic Records, “Warning Signs” is an enigmatic synthesis of modern electronica and hip-hop. With spacey bass and kinetic synths, the track pulls influences from disco, acid house and trap, overlaid with Ge...
Whethan Taps NGHTMRE, Tchami, Flux Pavilion and More for “Fantasy: Remixed” Album
It’s big, it’s badass and it’s bold. It’s Whethan‘s latest project, Fantasy: Remixed. Out today, March 26th via Atlantic Records, the album features 11 fresh takes on tracks off of Whethan’s acclaimed debut album. Sourced from a stellar lineup of producers including NGHTMRE, Tchami and Flux Pavilion, Fantasy: Remixed stands out with its arrangement of radiant sonics from across the electronic spectrum. Hekler twists “Drumdown Mambo” with Jasiah into a future bass heater, Midnight Kids enhances the STRFKR-assisted “Stay Forever” with synthwave flavor, and Saint Punk infuses “All In My Head” with grandson with filtered rock & roll. NGHTMRE even dips into cinematic dubstep wit...
Whethan and NGHTMRE Tease Release of Long-Awaited Collaboration
It looks like Whethan and NGHTMRE are on the verge of dropping an epic collaboration. Both artists took to Twitter yesterday to drop a not-so-subtle hint that a new song is on the way. The collaboration has been in the works since as early as 2019, but Whethan and NGHTMRE’s tweets may signal a release any day now. What we end up hearing may actually be different than what one might expect from a collab between these two electronic music heavyweights. Considering the fact that Whethan has dabbled in the darker avenues of bass music and NGHTMRE is one of the genre’s most prominent producers , it’s only natural to think a trap banger was on its way. However, if past videos are any indication, they’ll be dropping a monster midtempo track akin to something from REZZ or 1...
Flux Pavilion Gets Dreamy on Remix of Whethan’s “Upside Down” With Grouplove
It’s been just over five months since the release of Whethan‘s critically acclaimed debut album Fantasy, and the prodigious producer is already gearing up for yet another project. Due March 26th via Atlantic Records, Fantasy: Remixed will bring together an all-star lineup of artists to present their own takes on tracks off the original LP. Giving us a taste of what’s to come, Flux Pavilion has released his remix of “Upside Down” with Grouplove. Operating as a collaboration between EDM’s old and new guards—who famously teamed up back in 2016 for the global hit “Savage”—the partnership further reinforces Whethan’s ascent into the world of distinguished electronic music makers. Naturally, Flux Pavilion gave the b...

With today’s release of their Candy 2 beat tape, superstar producer duo Louis the Child has launched their sound beyond the norm, finally sharing a unique, genre-fluid point of view poised to launch an entire wave of contemporaries. Returning to the group’s mid-2010s roots of experimental sound design and bubbly synth arrangements, this new Interscope Records-facilitated project starts exactly where their original Candy beat tape left off. Released way back in 2017, that mix’s concluding instrumental, “Vibeys5,” has been renamed “The Sh*T” and used to launch Candy 2 with a fun, nostalgic twist. It’s the perfect jumping off point for the whopping 19-track project, with songs spanning from 43 seconds in length to ...
Whethan Drops “Freefall” with Oliver Tree from Forthcoming Debut Album
In July, Oliver Tree announced he would be retiring, but if Whethan asks you to be on a track, it’s clear you say yes. The two longtime collaborators have now reunited to deliver “Freefall,” from Whethan’s highly anticipated debut album FANTASY, which is due to release this fall. Along with the single comes a fun lyric video that will have you singing along well into the weekend. “Me and Oliver have been working together forever,” Whethan shared in a press release. “We put out ‘When I’m Down’ 4 years ago and it was our first song that really blew up and got us both record deals. Here we are, years later, still working together and we’re putting out our best song to date.” The two artists continue t...
Whethan Teases Upcoming Collaboration with Louis The Child
Over the weekend, Louis The Child teased the release of their upcoming Candy 2 mixtape. Through a series of Instagram photos, they shared a look at what will seemingly become a visual companion to the mixtape. Not-so-coincidentally, Whethan took to Twitter around the same time and announced that he “may or may not” have a new track with the duo on the way sometime next month. While it’s not quite an official confirmation, fans have already begun to put two and two together, as the trio dropped a collaboration on the last Candy mixtape. To stoke the flames even further, Whethan followed up the original tweet with candy emojis. At the time of writing, there is no specific release date or title for the Whethan and Louis The Child collaboration in question. On the bright side...
