KATSEYE Drop Explosive “Gnarly” Remixes with Ice Spice, Lara, Lancey Foux and Slush Puppy

Just weeks after the original “Gnarly” set the internet on fire, KATSEYE are back with two blistering new remixes – and they’ve brought Ice Spice, Lancey Foux, Slush Puppy, and group member Lara along for the ride.

Released today via HYBE x Geffen Records, the remixes arrive as “Gnarly” surpasses 100 million global streams – a staggering milestone for a group barely a year into their career. It’s a clear signal that KATSEYE’s brand of risky maximalist chaos is resonating.

The Ice Spice remix, already trending on socials, infuses the industrial-pop monster with a club-fuelled, bass-heavy pulse and Ice’s signature cool-girl flow. The second remix – featuring Lancey Foux, Slush Puppy, and KATSEYE’s own Lara – takes the track in a more experimental, synth-drenched direction, stretching “Gnarly” into something even more unhinged and rave-ready.

The original single, produced by HYBE founder “hitman” Bang, Slow Rabbit, Tim Randolph and Pink Slip, was polarising by design: an over-the-top, hyperpop-laced anthem that sounded more like a dare than a debut. Critics and fans were divided – until they weren’t. As The FADER put it, “This hyperpop doozy has already won over millions.” W Magazine agreed: “‘Gnarly’ tore the internet apart… By the weekend, the song was being declared a genius bit of post-modern pop perfection.”

It’s a fast-moving ascension for the global girl group, who first emerged via The Dream Academy reality program and Netflix’s Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE. With members hailing from the U.S., South Korea, India, Switzerland, the Philippines and beyond, KATSEYE have become a case study in cross-cultural pop — and with these new remixes, they’re proving just how flexible that model can be.

The remixes also serve as a lead-up to the group’s upcoming EP, BEAUTIFUL CHAOS, out June 27. If “Gnarly” was the warning shot, BEAUTIFUL CHAOS promises full-scale impact — a blend of digital overstimulation, girlhood rebellion, and boundary-pushing sonics.

In the meantime, KATSEYE’s presence continues to build: they’re set to perform at the 2025 Kids’ Choice Awards, and recently locked down partnerships with Glossier and Urban Outfitters.

Love it or hate it, “Gnarly” isn’t just a song anymore – it’s a cultural moment. And with these remixes, KATSEYE proves they know exactly how to ride the wave they’ve created.
