Eanternet

Eanternet (pronounced /iːˈɪntɚnɛt/, “ee-IN-ter-net”; born November 20, 2000) is a Filipino-Canadian record producer, rapper, and multidisciplinary artist based in Vancouver, British Columbia. He records and releases music independently, and has been active since 2015.

Eanternet first released music under the alias E6n (pronounced e-six-n, with the 6 designed to read as a stylized a), issuing the beat tapes signal (2017), vivid (2018), and connect (2018) before rebranding as Eanternet for his 2019 self-titled debut rap album. The name Eanternet, a portmanteau of his nickname “Ean” (pronounced like Ian) and the word internet, originated as a joke pun with friends during the 2019 album rollout.

Eanternet is best known for the EANSTRUMENTALS series, beginning with the 2024 instrumental hip-hop tape EANSTRUMENTALS 1 and continuing with EANSTRUMENTALS 2 (2025), his first house-leaning project. His sound has been compared to the chipmunk-soul sample palette of early Kanye West records, particularly The College Dropout and Late Registration.

Outside of music, Eanternet works as a graphic designer, photographer, video editor, and mix and mastering engineer, and has formal training in computer programming.

Early life and education

Eanternet was born on November 20, 2000, in the Philippines. He immigrated with his family to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, in 2011, and relocated to Vancouver, British Columbia in 2014, where he has remained based.^[1]

Eanternet graduated from the Computer Systems Technology diploma program at the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) in June 2024.

Career

2015–2016: Beginnings on Audiotool

Eanternet began making beats seriously in January 2015 on his father’s laptop, using the browser-based digital audio workstation Audiotool. His original Audiotool handle, eann0, served as the predecessor to his later E6n alias. During this period he focused on producing instrumentals for other rappers to write to, primarily collaborating with local artists Bred the Rapper, Rotitt, and Kuna, along with online connections Kxnjji (also from Audiotool) and the New York rapper Coconutfam.^[2] Production credits from the era include the Bred the Rapper single Microwave featuring Rotitt (lead single from the now-unavailable project Leftovers) and the Kxnjji track Ocean & Moon, on which he is also credited as a featured artist under the E6n name.

During this period Eanternet also issued a handful of beats as standalone singles on SoundCloud: :( (13 January 2016), tabo (21 May 2017), envy (28 May 2017), and 88CloutTokens (25 July 2017).

The Coconutfam collaboration began in 2017 when the New York rapper’s then-manager, h0re, reached out to Eanternet on Instagram requesting beats. Eanternet sent 88CloutTokens, which Coconutfam wrote and recorded over. During the rollout of that release the New York artist 14ix discovered Eanternet on social media and began following his work, beginning a long-running online friendship. The collaboration with Coconutfam continued into 2018 with Day’s End (built on the kirby everywhere beat from signal) and On My Bodi featuring Zen. On My Bodi was briefly heard playing in the background of an Instagram Story posted by Billie Eilish via her then-active @wherearemyavocados account; Eanternet recognised his own instrumental on the audio, an early milestone for his production work. Both Coconutfam tracks have since been removed from streaming. Neither Coconutfam nor his management ever compensated Eanternet for any of the work.

2017–2018: Beat tapes as E6n

In November 2017, Eanternet purchased his own MacBook Pro and migrated from Audiotool to Ableton Live. The following month, he released his first beat tape, the lo-fi hip-hop project signal (December 2017), the only Eanternet release fully produced in Audiotool.

He followed with two instrumental hip-hop beat tapes in 2018 produced in Ableton, vivid in May and connect in July. All three tapes were issued under the stage name E6n (lowercase on Bandcamp, credited as E6n on streaming services) and self-released to Bandcamp alongside Spotify, Apple Music, and other streaming services. The three E6n tapes have since been pulled from streaming and remain available on Bandcamp. The early E6n projects were characterised by short run-times, lowercase track titles, and a sample-driven palette.

2019–2021: Eanternet

Eanternet made his live debut in December 2018 as a guest performer in Bred the Rapper’s set, performing the lead single Amnesia in front of a live audience.

In June 2019, Eanternet released his debut full-length rap album, EANTERNET, marking his transition from instrumental beat tapes to a vocal-led project. The album was originally planned for release under the E6n moniker; the name Eanternet arose as a joke pun with friends during the rollout, and stuck. He changed his Instagram handle to eanternet in the weeks before launch, and the album ultimately released under the new name.^[3]

Written and produced between 2018 and 2019, EANTERNET features guest appearances from his high school friends Saga Boy, Bred the Rapper, Prettyboy Vic, and Mckz, with a voicemail contribution on Voicemail2 by EJ. Eanternet has described the project as his most personal record, with lyrics left open to interpretation.

The album’s rollout was led by the single Amnesia (featuring Bred the Rapper and Saga Boy), released on 19 October 2018, with the album originally scheduled for a March 2019 release. Eanternet delayed the project to extend production, eventually adding the tracks Chilling, 152, and Randoms and reworking others. To bridge the gap, he issued Sideline as a second single on 22 March 2019. EANTERNET followed on 21 June 2019, accompanied by a same-day post-release single, Url Sweatshirt, pushed out after its music video.

Following EANTERNET, Eanternet released two standalone singles: Stretch Marks! featuring Isiah James in September 2020, and Pink Skies featuring Mckz and Saga Boy in April 2021. Both tracks were originally written as lead singles for a planned, then-unannounced follow-up album. The project was shelved during the COVID-19 pandemic as Eanternet prioritised school and work, but he remained creatively active by pivoting to short-form video and YouTube mashups.

2021–2024: YouTube era

In September 2021, Eanternet began posting mashups (vocal-on-instrumental edits) to his main YouTube channel; a small number of earlier mashups were also shared informally on TikTok in early 2021. His earliest YouTube mashup, an edit pairing Kanye West’s vocals from Selah with the instrumental of Drake’s Way 2 Sexy, has since been deleted. The follow-up, “FOLLOW GOD but the beat is ORANGE SODA”, released on 18 October 2021, paired Kanye West’s vocals from Follow God with the instrumental of Baby Keem’s ORANGE SODA, and went viral; as of May 2026 the video has accumulated over 186,000 views. Designer and YouTuber Nathan Zed publicly endorsed it in the comments (“nah this is fireeeee”), a moment Eanternet has credited with triggering the YouTube algorithm’s push.^[8]

Other notable releases from this period include “JUNYA but the beat is SLAY3R” (91,000 views), “KNIFE TALK but the beat is OFF THE GRID” (200,000 views), “HEARTLESS but the beat is HEARTLESS” (72,000 views), and “BELIEVE WHAT I SAY but it’s remixed with DOO WOP” (19,000 views). “ESCAPE PLAN but the beat is MISS THE RAGE” (74,000 views) spawned a wave of DJ recreations and edits in clubs.

The mashups also drew direct collaboration requests. Around 14 January 2022, fellow Vancouver-based musician Skeleton found Eanternet through the videos and, on learning he was both local and experienced in audio engineering, hired him for cover-art and mixing work. Eanternet designed the cover art for Skeleton’s single Zero Degrees (released 12 August 2022) and was credited as mixer on several of Skeleton’s other singles, since removed from streaming. He attended Skeleton’s album listening party in summer 2022. The work was paid, marking one of his first compensated production engagements.

In August 2022, with his subscriber count past 7,700, Eanternet published a YouTube community post announcing he would step back from the mashup format to refocus on original music and beat content. He cited fatigue with the editing workload, copyright limitations on monetisation, third-party accounts on TikTok and Instagram reposting his ideas without credit, and a recurring concern that audiences were engaging with the artists he was remixing rather than with him as a creator.^[9]

“Three videos blew up and I’ve never had that happen to me before so I just kept going with no plan in mind. […] I realized I don’t really want to be known as the guy who made mashups. There’s only so much you could do with mashups. I also have that re-occurring thought of, ‘Do people really fuck with my shit, or just the artist I’m remixing?’ ”

Beginning 12 August 2022 and continuing through 4 September 2023, Eanternet returned to consistent uploads on YouTube, focusing on type beats, beat visuals, and beat-making tutorials. The era also produced YouTube-exclusive original music, including the single SOLACEEE, released on 7 September 2024.

Mashups continued sporadically. On 9 June 2023 he released “STICKY but the beat is THE HILLBILLIES”, pairing Drake’s vocals over the beat from Kendrick Lamar and Baby Keem’s The Hillbillies; the video has been described in retrospect as foreshadowing the Drake–Kendrick conflict that erupted the following year. On 3 January 2024, days after Playboi Carti’s return single, “BACKR00MS but the beat is FIGHTING MY DEMONS” (Carti’s vocals over Ken Carson’s instrumental) drew 55,000 views.

On 4 May 2024, three hours after Kendrick Lamar released Not Like Us at the peak of his public dispute with Drake, Eanternet posted “NOT LIKE US but the beat is HIT ‘EM UP”, overlaying Lamar’s vocals onto the instrumental of Tupac Shakur’s 1996 diss track Hit ‘Em Up. The mashup went viral within hours; as of May 2026 the video has accumulated over 239,000 views, and the accompanying tweet has surpassed 2.8 million views.^[10]

2024: EANSTRUMENTALS 1

After a five-year gap from full-length releases, Eanternet returned in October 2024 with EANSTRUMENTALS 1, his first instrumental project under the Eanternet name. The tape was drawn from a selection of free type beats originally uploaded to his YouTube channel, trimmed from twenty beats to twelve, and reshaped during production from a planned compilation into a cohesive listen.^[4] The album was released across all major streaming platforms and as a free download on Bandcamp.

EANSTRUMENTALS 1 was widely received by listeners as a celebrated return after the multi-year hiatus, and has since become Eanternet’s most-streamed project. Although the full twelve-track listen drew positive responses across the board, fan favourites emerged around Stages, Need You, Horizons, and the closer Paradise, the latter notable as the album’s lone house-leaning beat and an early signal toward EANSTRUMENTALS 2.

The same year saw Eanternet expand his collaborator network beyond Canada, working with Las Vegas rapper and cinematographer Ean after the two were introduced online in early 2024 by mutual friends who noted the pair’s shared first name and resemblance. Eanternet produced Ean’s 2024 single That’s Ok, and is referenced throughout its accompanying music video.^[6]

Eanternet also reconnected with New York artist 14ix, an online friend from the signal-era E6n period, contributing production to IXCLU$IVE (with NILLYxMILLY) on 14ix’s October 2024 EP pregame, and separately co-producing the standalone collaboration SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS (often shortened to SUPER); the track was well-received among 14ix’s peers and fans, and entered his live setlists at his New York shows.^[7]

2025: EANSTRUMENTALS 2

In October 2025, Eanternet released EANSTRUMENTALS 2, his second full-length instrumental project and first attempt at a house album. The rollout was led by lead single AKING INIIBIG (18 July 2025) and second single KULANG ANG SANDALI (5 September 2025), whose reception shaped the project’s further lean into dance territory. The album was released on 10 October 2025, accompanied by a same-day post-release single, RUNNING AROUND, a drum and bass send-off.^[5]

Earlier the same year, on 19 March 2025, Eanternet released the mashup “EVIL J0RDAN but the beat is SPONGEBOB”, overlaying Playboi Carti’s vocals from EVIL J0RDAN onto the instrumental of Electric Zoo, a track from the SpongeBob SquarePants soundtrack; the video has accumulated approximately 93,000 views as of May 2026.

2026–present

On 12 December 2025, Eanternet quietly deactivated his Instagram account without announcement, beginning an indefinite hiatus from the platform that has continued into 2026.

Artistry

Influences

Eanternet cites Kanye West’s early catalog, particularly The College Dropout (2004) and Late Registration (2005), as the most direct influence on his production. His sound has been compared to that era’s chipmunk-soul, sample-driven palette, with a modern take.

Process and equipment

Eanternet produces primarily in Ableton Live, building beats around chopped 1980s vocal samples pitched up into a chipmunk-soul register. His earliest beat tape, signal (2017), was produced entirely in the browser-based DAW Audiotool; from vivid (2018) onward, all releases have been produced in Ableton on a 2015 MacBook Pro, acquired in November 2017.

Cover art, photography, mixing, and mastering for Eanternet releases are handled in-house by Eanternet.

YouTube

Eanternet’s YouTube channel functions as a parallel creative outlet to his streaming releases. Content has cycled through three formats: free type beats and beat visuals (intermittently 2015–present), vocal-on-instrumental mashups (chiefly 2021–2024, with isolated entries in 2025), and beat-making tutorials and YouTube-exclusive originals such as SOLACEEE (2024). The channel has produced his most-viewed work, including NOT LIKE US but the beat is HIT ‘EM UP (May 2024) and KNIFE TALK but the beat is OFF THE GRID (November 2021), each with hundreds of thousands of views.

Other work

In addition to music, Eanternet works as a graphic designer, photographer, audio engineer (mixing and mastering), and video editor, including music videos. He also works as a software developer; his portfolio is published at gathrean.com. While in school, he supported his music with food-service work at restaurants and cafes.

Sigh Co

Eanternet is a member of Sigh Co, an informal online creative group whose current members are Caesar (recording as Cz4r), Dom, EJ, Gabbie, Ko (recording as Kosey !), Rye (recording as ryejpeg), and Eanternet. The collective traces back to Pain Chat, a Discord server Eanternet started on 27 November 2020. As a smaller subset of regulars migrated their conversations to iMessage between 2021 and 2022, the tighter-knit group consolidated under the name Sigh Co.

Sigh Co has not issued any group releases; all members continue to record and release independently. The group’s shared output is curated through a public Spotify playlist, sigh co releases!, which collects member singles and projects.

Documented inter-member appearances on Eanternet’s catalog include EJ’s voicemail on Voicemail2 from EANTERNET (2019) and his guitar performance on the SoundCloud-exclusive beat nostalgia for something that doesn’t exist (feat. ej’s guitar) (2021). Conversely, Eanternet appears on the outro of Cz4r’s track valley from his album CHANGING CHANNELS (3 December 2023).
