Whethan

Born in Chicago, Ethan Snoreck crafts intricate, dancefloor-focused electronic pop as Whethan, blending trap, alternative rock, and future bass elements. Well before finishing high school in 2017, the young artist gained attention through remixes and original tracks. Frequent work with Oliver Tree sits alongside credits with Charli xcx, Dua Lipa, Jeremih, Tom Morello, and many more, several of which landed on Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Songs charts. His wide-ranging first album, Fantasy, surfaced in 2020 and featured Grouplove, K.Flay, and Chrome Sparks. Two years afterward came the follow-up LP Midnight. The 2023 single “Money on the Dash” with Elley Duhé spread rapidly online, prompting the July 2024 release of the EP Life of a Wallflower, Vol. 2.

Snoreck first issued house material under his legal name, reserving Wheathin—later altered to Whethan for legal reasons—for remixes and edits. Momentum built in 2015 when the 16-year-old placed a track on the Australian EDM imprint Future Classic. Throughout the next twelve months he reworked cuts by ZAYN, Ty Dolla $ign, and Bastille while dropping his own “Can’t Hide,” “When I’m Down,” and the Flux Pavilion and MAX collaboration “Savage,” which climbed to number 29 on Billboard’s dance chart. Early 2017 brought the Charli xcx collaboration “Love Gang.” The following year he joined Dua Lipa on “High” from the Fifty Shades Freed soundtrack, a cut that reached number 12 on the dance chart. Additional entries on the same tally arrived via partnerships with Broods and Oh Wonder, plus “Radar” featuring HONNE on the November debut EP Life of a Wallflower, Vol. 1.

“Win You Over,” a 2019 link-up with Bearson and SOAK, opened that year, followed by “Let Me Take You” with Jeremih and “Summer Luv” with the Knocks featuring Crystal Fighters. Those singles paved the way for the 2020 full-length Fantasy, whose guests included STRFKR, the Wombats, Grouplove, and the Front Bottoms. 2021 yielded “Warning Signs” featuring Kevin George, “Think You’re Right” featuring Ericdoa and Glaive, and “2 MUCH” featuring Jasiah & KA$HDAMI. Midnight, the second studio album, arrived the next year; its opening track “Lock It Up” included Matt Ox, Midwxst, and Yeat, while “Fall Out Girl” with Zai also appeared. The garage-tinged “Money on the Dash” with Elley Duhé emerged in 2023 and caught fire, especially its sped-up version; Whethan also featured on San Holo and Selah Sol’s “No Place Is Too Far,” issued “Sick of Myself” with Nessa Barrett, and released another Duhé track titled “Midnight Oil.” 2024 brought “Room Is on Fire” with Snakehips and AG Club, the new-wave-styled “Cruise Control” with Lyn Lapid, the solo house cut “Do You Remember?,” “Stealth Bomber” featuring grime emcee Flowdan, and “Dance Through the Night” with Gryffin and Norma Jean Martine. Life of a Wallflower, Vol. 2, compiling prior singles plus three new songs, arrived in July.
