Following up on the massive radio premiere from world renowned producer MARK RONSON of the 'Dub' version of it's title track on his radio show, WHAT SO NOT reveal plans for their brand new EP cheerfully titled 'The Quack'. It's due for release on June 14th via Sweat It Out in Australia and OWSLA (SKRILLEX's label) overseas.

'The Quack' single - featuring ACTION BRONSON, was born from a studio session which took place when the New York MC was recently in the country. Beat-maker BLOOD DIAMONDS also contributed to the track as did young Queens rapper D MAC, the full version will make an appearance on RONSON's East Village Radio show in the next couple of weeks.

This new release is set to capitalise on the success of WHAT SO NOT's debut EP whose title track '7 Dollar Bill' got a good workout on dance radio and in clubs all over. It received rave reviews and mad support from the likes of SWITCH, BAG RAIDERS, SINDEN, BOYS NOIZE propelling the duo to perform heaving sold-out club shows across the country and garner tonnes of remixes for MAJOR LAZER, KIMBRA, A-TRAK & more.

It's sad to note that member Harley Streten (aka super-producer FLUME) will not be embarking on this tour due to his massive workload. The WHAT SO NOT camp have confirmed that EMOH will be taking on this tour solo and promised that the duo will re-unite for a live show further down the track.

"Due to the phenomenal success of Harley in his FLUME guise, Emoh will take on the role of WHAT SO NOT DJ and when the two unite it will be a WHAT SO NOT live show. As such WHAT SO NOT (DJ) will be dropping in on dark rooms along the coast this May/June, dates below. Don't miss their month-long residency on triple j's Mix Up Exclusives, on your radio every Saturday night in May from 9pm."

You can grab the pre-release of WHAT SO NOT's 'The Quack' EP in 'dub' form on iTunes on the 17th May.
