This EP Starts of with a track by Koppen that i remixed by the next artist which is again remixed by another artist and so on. This results in a musical chinese whispers where there is less and less left of the original. What starts out as tough hip hop gets transformed via indie-rock to straight ambient and ends up as chugging disco. Is this the first Meta-remix EP? We hope more producers would try out this process, if anyone wants to continune with a remix of the last track please get in tocuh!

WHALESHARKATTACKS is the solo project of Viviana Vega (known from Masselys and Ost & Kjex ++). In 2017 she released her self-titled debut album on Metronomicon Audio, where she introduced us to her original blend of 808 goth, MIDI punk, dark RnB and nihilist trap. In 2018 came the remix album ‘Welsh Architects’.
‘Rich People Taste’ is the first single from her forthcoming album “Music For Pink Nights”. The song is a meditation on opulence, boredom and destruction, with music inspired by both Japanese ambient and rap, delivered in a manner that is both brazen and depressed. With a pitched down voice, WHALESHARKATTACKS brings her masculine alter-ego to the foreground, a familiar character to those who have seen her live.
The music video is directed by visual artist Sigrid Bendz, who is known for surreal and symbol heavy performance and video works. Her visual expression fits perfectly with WHALESHARKATTACKS’ primitive expressionism and lo-fi aesthetic.
