WHISNU SANTIKA UNVEILS NEW INDONESIAN BOUNCE ANTHEM “VAMOS!” WITH HBRP, KEEBO AND MC SPYDER

Building on the global impact of “Cartel” in 2023, the architect of Indonesian Bounce continues to push his groundbreaking sound forward, uniting regional and international voices on one of the biggest records of the year so far.

Riding a wave of international momentum off the back of his recent collaboration with Sikdope and Linney ("Save Me") on Dim Mak, Indonesian electronic powerhouse Whisnu Santika returns with a new club-ready statement, “VAMOS!”. Out now, the blistering new single sees Whisnu reunite with hbrp and KEEBO, as well as British-born MC SPYDER (of Jamaican roots, now based in Holland), building on the undeniable chemistry that previously fuelled their breakout hit “Cartel.”

 

Released as the long-awaited follow-up to “Cartel” (the 2023 smash that has since amassed over 100 million streams) “VAMOS!” finds Whisnu leaning fully into the Indonesian Bounce sound he pioneered, delivering a high-energy record driven by percussive intensity, raw vocal attitude and unmistakable dancefloor pressure. Designed for peak-time moments, the track captures the unfiltered spirit of festival culture while pushing the genre forward on an international level.

As a leading architect of Indonesia’s modern electronic movement, Whisnu Santika has played a central role in shaping Indonesian Bounce into a globally recognized club sound. His ability to translate local dancefloor energy into international impact has defined his rise, bridging Southeast Asian club culture with the wider global electronic ecosystem. “VAMOS!” stands as a clear reflection of that mission; bold, collaborative and rooted in movement.

 

The reunion with hbrp and KEEBO marks a natural progression from the success of “Cartel.” hbrp, one of Indonesia’s most exciting young producers and a consistent presence on DWP lineups from 2023 through 2025, brings his genre-fluid instincts and break-driven influence back into the mix. KEEBO, a multi-award-winning MC turned DJ and member of Package Collective, adds his signature rhythmic intuition and deep connection to nightlife culture, further amplifying the track’s momentum.

 

Adding another layer of international energy, MC SPYDER injects “VAMOS!” with his unmistakable raw vocal presence. A respected fixture in the Dutch club scene, SPYDER has shared stages with global heavyweights including Afrojack, Hardwell and Laidback Luke, and remains one of Europe’s most in-demand hype MCs. His commanding delivery gives the track an edge that translates seamlessly from underground clubs to festival stages.

 

As he looks to make 2026 his most prolific year to date, Whisnu Santika once again proves his ability to turn collaboration into cultural impact, merging scenes, sounds and generations through the lens of Indonesian Bounce. As his global profile continues to rise, the single stands as both a continuation of past success and a forward-facing statement of intent.

CREEDS AND DEVIN WILD UNLEASH THEIR NEW SINGLE “DANGEROUS” ON IKNS

Two of electronic music’s most impactful names, Creeds and Devin Wild, kick off the year with their long-awaited collaboration “Dangerous”, out now via IKNS. After a year of buzz as a highly requested ID across clubs and festival stages, the record finally sees an official release, now landing in a format built for radio, playlists and wide commercial dance audiences.

“Dangerous” pairs big-room energy with a hook-driven vocal topline that hits instantly. Bright trance-leaning synths, a driving groove and stadium-sized momentum make it a natural fit for peak-time sets, while the catchy chorus and clean arrangement give it real crossover potential beyond the harder scenes.

The collaboration brings together two artists with distinct identities and global reach. Dutch producer Devin Wild (Dion Mons) is renowned for his melodic, high-energy sound and has become a key figure in modern hardstyle. On the other side, Creeds, creator of the global smash “Push Up” (now surpassing 600 million streams), has built a unique lane by blending reverse bass, hard techno and trance into explosive, crowd-tested records. On “Dangerous”, the duo focuses on a more accessible EDM-friendly take, designed to connect immediately with both core fans and wider audiences.

Devin Wild:The moment I heard the vocal, I knew it needed that high-energy, driving production. Sending it to Creeds felt like the natural move, but meeting him for the first time at EDC Vegas really sealed the deal. The chemistry was there instantly, and that energy translated directly into the final record.”

Creeds:Devin sent me an initial version of the track and I was literally blown away. The sound design and the choice of the vocal were so incredible that I couldn’t believe it!”

“Dangerous” will roll out in two versions: the Light Version arrives first on IKNS on 23 January, followed by the heavier Hard Version one month later on Scantraxx. A full content rollout will support both releases, including official video clips for both versions, press assets, shout-outs, and a wider push across UGC and radio.

TINLICKER’S JORDI VAN ACHTHOVEN DROPS ESCAPISM LP UNDER HIS THEY CALL ME STEVE ALIAS

Escapism, the debut album by They Call Me Steve (Jordi van Achthoven of Tinlicker), explores his creative world through rediscovered tracks and everyday-life samples.


Deeply personal and rooted in his past, it also features the singles “Whatever You Call It,” “Body Move,” and “Lara,” shaping a record suited for both club nights and quiet escape.

The first album Escapism by They Call Me Steve is an album to be obsessed with.

"The whole album feels like an enrichment of a part of me that I was never able to touch. Some of these tracks are older tracks that I’ve produced on my laptop years ago but never actually saw the light of day. I’m beyond excited that I’m finally able to share this music with the world now."

“It’s a personal album, and I was able to incorporate many elements and samples from my daily life into the tracks. You can either blast it at full volume in a club, or use it as background music in your favorite local coffee corner. As the title suggests at its core, it's all about escaping from everyday reality."
