Monstercat, “never mine” marks the second collaboration between boundary-pushing producer WHIPPED CREAM and rising dance artist BKAYE. Fusing cinematic textures with a pulsating house-fueled bassline, the pair return with a hypnotic anthem that seamlessly balances emotional storytelling and dancefloor-ready energy.
“never mine” kicks off with ethereal synths and echoing ambiance, quickly followed by tantalizing lyrics from WHIPPED CREAM. Suddenly a groove-filled bassline enters the spotlight, pushing momentum forward as snare rolls build tension toward a tech house-inspired drop. WHIPPED CREAM’s voice casts a spell over the production, layering vulnerability and control in equal measure. Designed for peak moments in both festival and club sets, the track lands as both a deeply personal record and an undeniable dance weapon.
QUOTE FROM WHIPPED CREAM:
“‘never mine’ is a sonic spin from my 2024 EP ‘is this real?’, where BKAYE and I already have a release together. It was a great experience getting back in the studio with him to create what feels like a follow-up to ‘real 4 me,’ our last track. I have been playing it in my sets since the night we finished it and have wanted to release it ever since.
This record is truly special to me because of how much emotion it carries without being overwhelming. The synths feel like they are breathing, and the vocals say everything by saying so little. This song is for anyone who knows what it feels like to miss something they have never really had.”
QUOTE BKAYE:
“When Caroline and I get together in the studio, her musical ideas and vocals always stand out and push me to build the track around them. Blending her darker basslines and vocal melodies with the euphoric, ethereal chords I love to write always results in a unique fusion of our sounds, and I am excited to see how people respond to this one. The process came together naturally, and I think it is a strong follow-up to our collaboration last year.”
“never mine” follows WHIPPED CREAM’s recent single “u don’t just wanna die,” a gritty and emotionally charged track packed with experimental sound design. The Canadian-born artist continues to explore new sonic territory under her house and techno alias, while cementing her legacy as one of the most versatile producers in electronic music. With performances locked in for Tomorrowland Belgium and Shambhala in July, fans can expect “never mine” to be a centerpiece in her sets this summer.
The release also signals a continued upward trajectory for BKAYE, who has carved out a name with emotionally resonant, danceable records and collaborations that showcase his evolving artistry. Together, WHIPPED CREAM and BKAYE are building a catalog of immersive, genre-blurring anthems, and “never mine” is just the beginning of what lies ahead.
