Whitey is a musician from London, UK. In 2004, he released an album named The Light at the End of the Tunnel is a Train. This album predated the electro rock movement by several years, and was greeted at the time as a critical triumph, going on to make numerous Best Of Year lists worldwide.[1]
In the summer of 2007, an album named Great Shakes was leaked onto the internet. On 9 October 2007, the Wrap It Up EP was released though Pure Groove Music/Universal Music. It consisted of three songs: Wrap It Up, Cigarette, and Head in the Corner.[2] Other appearances since then have been the track "Stay on the Outside" on Kitsuné Maison Compilation 4, the release of the limited edition Made of Night EP on Marquis Cha Cha records and the track "Wrap It Up" on the Grand Theft Auto 4 in-game soundtrack. Tracks by Whitey have also featured in episodes of The Sopranos, The O.C, Kyle XY, Entourage and CSI. A full album named Stay On The Outside was planned for release in the later part of 2008, but this has been delayed. This album is planned to include a number of tracks from Great Shakes and a number of new tracks.
Over a number of years, Whitey has also produced remixes for Bloc Party, Cut Copy, Soulwax and Chromeo, amongst others.
