Out now, the new single sees Santika team up with frequent collaborator Rey Putra and Indonesian vocalist Cosmo Kent
Internationally renowned Indonesian DJ and producer Whisnu Santika continues his prolific run of form into to the final month of 2025, as he delivers one of the most evocative releases of his career to date with “I’ll Be Yours”. Created alongside previous collaborator Rey Putra and burgeoning Indonesian vocalist Cosmo Kent, the single is available from December 10, just days before Whisnu’s eagerly anticipated appearance at Djakarta Warehouse Project.
Offering fans a glimpse into a more emotional, narrative-driven side of Whisnu’s artistry, “I’ll Be Yours” builds on the creative synergy he and Rey have cultivated over the past year: first through their high-energy track “J-Town”, then through their viral edits of Bruno Mars’ “Die With A Smile”, Adam Port’s “Move” and Gala’s “Freed From Desire.”
“I’ll Be Yours” unfolds as an end-of-the-world love story between two people once deeply connected but long separated. In their final moments, one reaches out – not to undo the past, but to feel love once more before time runs out. Lyrics like “Hold you more before we go, I’ll be yours, evermore” echo with both urgency and acceptance and rather than celebrating heroism, the song captures something more intimate: the choice to love the same person again, even when the ending is inevitable.
At its heart, “I’ll Be Yours” is about longing and belonging; the need to feel connected, to feel held, even as everything else collapses. Beneath its apocalyptic framing, the song reflects a universal truth: in moments of crisis, humans reach for each other first. It offers the quiet belief that no matter how broken things become, there is always one last chance to love again.
Whisnu Santika has become a driving force in Indonesia’s electronic music landscape, helping spark the rise of the Indonesian Bounce movement with his baile funk–inspired sound. Since 2019, he has built a catalog that reflects both innovation and instinct; always pushing dance music forward while staying deeply connected to Indonesian audiences. His rise has been rapid and undeniable: in 2023, 80% of his 207 shows across Indonesia sold out, solidifying his status as one of the country’s most in-demand performers. Recently, his energy has resonated on the global stage as well, with performances at Tomorrowland Belgium, Siam Songkran Bangkok and Amsterdam Dance Event, to name a few.
Rey Putra, known for his precise musicality and cinematic approach to production, began his creative journey at age 10. Over the years, he has composed music for international acts including Alan Walker, Steve Aoki, Nicky Romero, and Cash Cash. His win across major producer competitions and his work on the 2018 Asian Para Games anthem highlight his continued influence on Indonesia’s electronic sound. His ongoing collaboration with Whisnu represents two artists whose visions push each other to evolve.
Cosmo Kent — an artistic evolution of singer-songwriter Prince Husein — brings a bold, future-minded edge to his vocal work. Through this new persona, he blends his soulful roots with a more experimental electronic palette. On “I’ll Be Yours,” his voice becomes the emotional core of the story, grounding the track’s apocalyptic backdrop with raw human warmth.
