warner case is planning to step out of his comfort zone on the “here and now” tour, and he gave us a taste of what’s in store.
Seen as one of the most innovative artists in the scene today, warner case has been carving out an impressive niche for himself in the past few years. Not only has he released tracks with the likes of Oliver Heldens and The Magician, but he’s also dropped off memorable remixes and won over even more fans with his viral track “summer on inside” with Jean Tonique and Max Kaluza. Now, he’s planning to take the next step in his career.
In 2024, warner case is set to redefine the electronic music experience with his upcoming here and now tour, coinciding with the release of his forthcoming EP bearing the same name. Scheduled for release on January 19, the here and now EP serves as a compelling introduction to the sounds of his newly-minted label, Top Right Records. It also gives fans ample time to immerse themselves in his latest musical creation before the tour kicks off in late February.
But before warner case steps out of his comfort zone to curate an unforgettable live experience for fans next year, he sat down with us to share the inspiration behind the tour, emphasizing a desire for a more unified and purposeful connection with his audience. He also spun a mix to give everyone a taste of the soundscapes present on his forthcoming release.

With community at the heart of his mission, warner case will be indirectly showcasing his label while on tour.
warner case plans to host label showcases in New York and Los Angeles during the tour, offering fans the chance to experience performances from Top Right artists, blending phenomenal live acts with the energy-rich atmosphere unique to live shows. He also describes the tour as a deliberate departure from the norm, stating, “The inspiration came from wanting to do something more cohesive and intentional. I’m used to doing strings of one-off shows, which feel like a bunch of incoherent single releases. To me, a proper tour feels like a purposeful album – an experience.”
While the label is only explicitly featured twice in the tour, the sounds behind here and now will encapsulate the imprint’s musical identity. “The ‘here and now’ EP is the first EP on my label, and I feel it’s a good showcase of Top Right Records as a whole. It’s an EP of what truly strikes me and feels authentic, like all the records Top Right releases,” he emphasized. And with the digital world becoming ever so integrated with that of reality, warner case hopes that the warmth and shared connection experienced at the shows will become a beacon of the label’s identity.
I think if my “here and now” tour is successful, it’ll be because the real-life, human connection was meaningful and memorable. That’s what music is all about.

To create a distinctive ambiance that mirrors the label’s ethos, warner case and his team are committed to crafting a live environment that goes beyond album art and social media. He envisions the tour as a conduit to public perception, allowing audiences to associate the label with tangible, real-life experiences. “Finally,” he shared, “fans of Top Right Records will have a physical element to associate with it. It’s just not album art and social media on a phone screen; it’s the people they meet at shows, the real-life community and experiences.”
We live in a very digital world now, but I think if things are solely digital, you miss out on the human-connection element of music. And while it’s great that the internet has brought us together in many ways, there’s nothing like going to a show to be around and meet other people that love the same music as you.

Breaking away from convention, warner case plans to integrate a live element into his performances, featuring live vocals over intentional song choices to deliver a cohesive live experience. Admitting his initial reluctance to embrace live vocals, he expressed, “I’m doing it because, frankly, it’s been something that has scared me for a long time. And usually what scares me is the most rewarding and exciting when i try it.” This courageous endeavor is motivated by the opportunity to deliver something truly special and push the boundaries of his artistic comfort zone.
I genuinely cannot wait to see everybody because, while I love making music, much of that time is spent alone in a room… and the music doesn’t mean anything until you’re there in person, until you feel it in a club, until everyone is there together. I can’t wait to see everybody and experience it with them.
