Former Pupil Whiney's Growing Reputation

This year has proved another exciting one for Class of 2006 former pupil Will Hine (aka drum and bass artist Whiney). Inbetween studies for his Geography degree at the University of Manchester, he has spent the year building upon the growing reputation he has as one of the UK's best young drum and bass artists.

Self-taught musician Will has fulfilled further successful DJ sets in London and Manchester, has been featured on two tracks- 'Sleeplessness' and 'Borderless'- that made Keeno's debut album (that reached no 6 in the iTunes Dance Album chart), and has seen his overall YouTube views pass over a quarter of a million helped by his latest track 'Don't Wait for Me' that featured on Liquicity's 'Galaxy of Dreams 2' compilation. His Soundcloud page has also seen numerous plays.

The autumn should see Will's first individual release on Med School, as part of its 'New Blood 014' album, and there are lots of other exciting releases planned on different labels.

Regular readers of our Newsroom may remember Will's standing rocketed with the 2013 release of drum and bass track 'Isokime' with fellow artist Keeno on Med School's compilation 'New Blood 13', a track that gained fantastic support from the likes of High Contrast and London Elektricity- pioneers of the scene.

His first release on Subsphere Records was swiftly followed by releases on Hospital Records and Med School and he has been able to count on support not just from High Contrast and London Elektricity, but also BCee, KMag, Nu:Logic and S.P.Y.
