Will Atkinson returns with an explosive and maximal new release, What Is Happening (WTF), on the trend-setting Filth on Acid. Known for his genre-blurring approach to sound, Will Atkinson continues to defy categorisation while moving fluidly between techno, trance, progressive and experimental sounds. He is one of the standout names on the techno circuit, and he has built a reputation as one of the most unpredictable names in the game. What Is Happening (WTF) is a high-impact, hard techno-inspired cut driven by jacked drums, fast-paced kicks, disrupted basslines, rousing maximal synths, and commanding vocal elements designed for peak-time dancefloors. It's a textured explosion with caustic synths and non-stop bounce. The release underlines Atkinson's boundary-pushing ethos and adds another powerful entry to his catalogue.
