New York Native Westend Drops Gritty Electro Cut "Freaky Time" on Trace Amounts

Westend is back with another heater — this time returning to his own label Trace Amounts with a new single titled Freaky Time. Following a big release on John Summit’s Experts Only, the New York-born producer taps into a rawer, more playful side with this one. It’s a proper club tool: cheeky vocal chops riding over a gritty electro-leaning groove that cuts through with intent. Westend continues to show that he knows exactly how to walk the line between weird and functional — and Freaky Time hits that sweet spot.

TRACE AMOUNTS IS HEATING UP

Launched in late 2023, Trace Amounts is fast becoming a home base for Westend’s more experimental and DJ-driven work. Freaky Time is the perfect showcase of that — stripped-back, effective, and built for real dance floors. It’s not trying to chase trends; it’s setting them. The release reinforces the label’s growing identity while keeping Westend firmly in control of the narrative around his sound.

LINING UP A HUGE YEAR

With his headline tour kicking off May 17 at Brooklyn’s 99 Scott, and stops planned across the U.S. including Denver, LA, and Chicago, Freaky Time is dropping at just the right moment. It’s the kind of track that’s designed to pop off in dark rooms and peak-time slots — and with Westend taking full creative control of his label and output, expect more of this energy throughout the year. If this release is anything to go by, 2025 is shaping up to be freaky in all the right ways.
