Whipped Cream

Canadian-born Caroline Cecil records under the name Whipped Cream, crafting shadowy, elaborately textured bass music that resists simple classification. Blending trap, post-industrial textures, rave energy, and hints of sensual pop, she has issued material through Nest—home to her 2017 Persistence EP—alongside Dim Mak and Monstercat while appearing on the main stages of Ultra, Shambhala, and Electric Zoo. Her debut major-label EP, Who Is Whipped Cream?, surfaced in 2020; two years later she joined Big Freedia, UNiiQU3, and Moore Kismet for the single “Hold Up.”

Born in Toronto and raised in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, Cecil initially pursued competitive figure skating until a fractured ankle ended those ambitions. At nineteen, a single music festival sparked her interest in DJing and production. Drawing from Nero, Baauer, Zeds Dead, and other EDM and bass artists, she issued her first Whipped Cream EP, Law of Attraction, in 2015. A closing performance at that year’s Shambhala festival marked a pivotal moment, quickly expanding her live schedule. In 2017 she paired with Hekler for the Mirrors EP before releasing Persistence on Skrillex’s Nest label, highlighted by the assertive cut “Ignorant.” The next twelve months saw “Gray” with KTRL on Dim Mak, “Blood” on Deadbeats, and both “Bad for Me” and “Luv” on Big Beat, among additional singles. After moving to Los Angeles in 2019, she placed “You Wanted It” and “Time” on Mad Decent and delivered a remix of Zhu’s “Desert Woman.”

November 2019 brought her signing to Atlantic’s Big Beat imprint. The 2020 EP Who Is Whipped Cream? featured appearances from Lil Xan and Finn Askew, while her contribution “So Thick,” recorded with Baby Goth, appeared on the Birds of Prey soundtrack. In 2021 she teamed with Jimorrow for “Light of Mine,” then reunited with Big Freedia, UNiiQU3, and Moore Kismet for the 2022 track “Hold Up.”
