Whethan, born Ethan Snoreck on May 25, 1999, is a Chicago-raised American DJ and producer who exploded onto the electronic music scene as a teenager. Now in his mid-20s, he's become a staple in the future bass, electropop, and hyper~pop worlds, blending infectious synths with dancefloor energy and alternative edges.
The Rise of a Prodigy
Snoreck started experimenting with music production at age 12 using GarageBand on an iPad, influenced by acts like Daft Punk, Flume, and Skrillex. He initially released tracks under his real name before adopting the stage name "Wheathin" (inspired by a playful remix of a Wheat Thins jingle—he later shortened it to Whethan after a trademark request).
His big break came in 2015 at just 16 with a viral remix of MssingNo's "XE3," which racked up millions of streams and made him the youngest artist ever signed to Australia's prestigious Future Classic label. From bedroom producer to festival stages, Whethan quickly built momentum with upbeat, rhythm-driven remixes and originals.

Breakthrough Hits and Collaborations
Whethan's sound evolved from future bass into genre-blending territory, incorporating indie synths, electropop hooks, and even heavier bass elements in recent years. Key releases include:
The 2018 EP Life of a Wallflower Vol. 1, featuring tracks like "Good Nights."
His 2020 debut album Fantasy, with collabs including Oliver Tree, Grouplive, and K.Flay.
Standout singles like "Savage" (with Flux Pavilion & MAX), "High" (with Dua Lipa), and frequent team-ups with close friend Oliver Tree on tracks like "When I'm Down," "Enemy," and "Freefall."
He's amassed hundreds of millions of streams, sold out headline shows, and delivered memorable sets at majors like Coachella (where he once brought out viral star Mason Ramsey), Lollapalooza, Red Rocks, and Outside Lands.
In the underground electronic scene, Whethan stands out for his youthful energy and willingness to experiment—transitioning from bubbly future bass to warehouse-rave vibes and bass-heavy drops. Fans praise his high-energy live sets, packed with visuals, genre hops, and crowd-pleasing edits that keep raves pulsing.
When Will He Play Southeast Asia?
As of early January 2026, Whethan has a packed tour schedule focused primarily on North America, with upcoming shows including dates at Hollywood Palladium (January 24, 2026), various U.S. venues through February (like Echostage in Washington, DC on February 20), and festival appearances.
There are no announced performances in Southeast Asia (regions like Myanmar, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, etc.) for 2026 or beyond at this time. His official website tour page and major ticketing platforms like Songkick, Bandsintown, and Ticketmaster show no SEA dates.
Whethan has toured internationally in the past (including Australia), so an Asia run isn't out of the question—especially with the region's booming EDM festival scene. Keep an eye on his socials or sign up for updates on whethan.com for any new announcements. Underground fans in SEA hoping for those signature drops might have to wait a bit longer, but when he does hit the region, it'll be worth the hype.
