Wellerman

‘Soon May the Wellerman Come’ has been shared and duetted thousands of times: by professional vocalists and instrumentalists, maritime enthusiasts, electronic beatmakers and many more. Catching the attention of DJ/Producer Sea Shanty – whose identity remains a mystery – the anonymous artist has reinvented the track with classic slap house signatures. Featuring dynamic bass rhythms combined with trademark house sounds, Sea Shanty has energised the historical sound of a beloved sailing community. Releasing on Spinnin’ Records, the ‘Wellerman’ trend has received a new lease of life and is sure to continue to erupt for the foreseeable weeks.

Accompanying the dynamite rendition of the TikTok phenomenon, She Shanty releases a music video that takes you into the world of ‘Wellerman’. Sporting a gaming, arcade-like aesthetic the record receives a quirky dose of escapism.
