Whisnu Santika Shines on New Remix of HYO’s “Yes”
Out now via SM Entertainment, Whisnu’s remix forms part of the official “YES REMiXES” package, alongside further interpretations from WUKONG and Y3IIO.
Internationally acclaimed Indonesian DJ and producer Whisnu Santika continues his global ascent with the release of his official remix of HYO’s “YES”, out now via SM Entertainment. The remix features on “YES REMiXES,” a newly released reimagining of HYO’s latest single, which brings together three standout producers from across Asia — WUKONG (Singapore), Y3llO (Myanmar), and Whisnu Santika (Indonesia) — each offering their own club-focused interpretation of the track.
A celebrated force behind the rise of Indonesian Bounce and one of the country’s most in-demand performers, Whisnu delivers a powerful and immersive rework that transforms “YES” into a driving tech house weapon built for late-night dancefloors. Bringing depth and tension to the original, his remix unfolds through an infectious arrangement, anchored by rolling low-end pressure, crisp percussion and carefully controlled energy that steadily pulls listeners into a new dimension of intensity.
Known for his instinctive, dancefloor-shaping sound, Whisnu strikes a compelling balance between restraint and release, allowing HYO’s unmistakable vocal presence to cut sharply through the mix. The result is a remix that feels both punchy and focused; offering a striking contrast to the original while preserving its confident attitude and core identity. Designed for peak-time club moments, the track highlights Whisnu’s ability to reinterpret pop-forward material through a globally resonant electronic lens.
The “YES REMiXES” project marks another important step in HYO’s evolution as both a K-POP artist and an international DJ, reinforcing her ongoing exploration of K-POP x EDM. By collaborating with prominent producers from East and Southeast Asia, the project bridges HYO’s signature dance sound into regional club culture, transforming “Yes” into a globally minded electronic release.
A representative from SM Entertainment commented:
“This remix project shows HYO’s increasingly active engagement with the global dance music scene. Each producer’s unique style reinterprets HYO’s original track in fresh ways, offering new excitement for fans worldwide.”
Whisnu Santika’s inclusion in the project underscores his growing international profile and influence. As a key architect of Indonesia’s modern electronic movement, he has played a central role in shaping the Indonesian Bounce sound, building a catalog defined by both innovation and instinct. Since 2019, his rise has been rapid and undeniable, with appearances at Tomorrowland Belgium, Siam Songkran Bangkok, and Amsterdam Dance Event cementing his status on the global stage. By joining forces with SM Entertainment and HYO on this high-profile remix release, Whisnu continues to bridge Southeast Asian club culture with the international dance music ecosystem, bringing Indonesian energy to one of K-pop’s most forward-facing crossover projects to date.
