Alexandra Sholler – aka Alison Wonderland – has had a whirlwind of a year.
Her independent imprint FMU Records welcomed releases from various trap and bass staples including the likes of The Duchess, sumthin sumthin, Fredrick, SIPPY, and many more. She released her acclaimed debut album, GENESIS, under her beloved alias Whyte Fang and took the cutting-edge production and musicality behind the enigmatic project to the stages of Coachella. On top of it all, she welcomed her first child earlier this summer. Following a brief hiatus from the spotlight, Wonderland returns to the release radar with a special treat, her first-ever offering to the FMU Records catalogue.
Her latest, “Fight or Flight,” taps NYC-based dance duo MEMBA for an eclectic, future bass-influenced cut. ”Fight or Flight” is due for release on Sept 8th via FMU Records.
In addition to being the first Alison Wonderland release on FMU Records, “Fight or Flight” doubles as Wonderland’s first official collaboration since she teamed up with SLANDER and Said The Sky on “Picture” in late 2022. The track made a thundering debut on the mainstage at Electric Zoo last weekend, where Wonderland performed for the first time since lighting up the stage at EDC Las Vegas in May. To make her set extra special, she brought out hometown heroes and track collaborators MEMBA to perform the track alongside her.
“Fight or Flight” takes Wonderland’s notorious trap beats and pushes them into an experimental direction with a stylistic switch up consisting of dark melodic rhythms pushed forward by MEMBA’s future bass influence. Ishaan Chaudhary and Will Curry – alias MEMBA – have captivated the local NYC and national electronic scene by storm with their world-influenced sonic exploration of rhythm, contrast, and the unexpected. The duo has landed releases on several revered labels in the dance space, including Lowly, Foreign Family Collective, and Monstercat, as well as garnered continued support from industry tastemakers, such as Spotify’s creamy, Trap Mojito, Nasty Bits, and Bangers. “Fight or Flight” arrives on the heels of their late spring EP, ‘UNI(*)N,’ which saw them collaborate with six different and uniquely influential artists. The duo recently kicked off their 17-date The Inevitable End U.S. tour, which will mark the final run of their esteemed live set before they retire it for good. Tickets and all dates can be found HERE.
Nominated for DJ Mag North America’s “Breakthrough Label of the Year,” FMU Records has allowed Sholler to find creative independence in the industry. Since its launch, she has successfully been able to provide a platform for artists that she deeply admires to release their music on their own terms. Wonderland’s contribution to the label serves as a celebration of its rapid success. Catch Alison Wonderland at Red Rocks on Friday, October 13th, and Whyte Fang at ReelWorks Denver on Thursday, October 12th.
