Sofi Tukker Signs With Republic Records, Teases J Balvin Collaboration
Sofi Tukker has officially signed with Republic Records, marking a significant milestone in their career as they gear up to release a collaboration with J Balvin.
Sofi Tukker has inked a deal with Republic Records, signaling a new chapter for the dynamic dance duo.
This marks the first time Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern have signed with a major label. Their previous studio albums and singles, dating back to 2015, were released independently through distribution deals.

"It wasn’t until we met the people at Republic that we decided we wanted to sign with a major label,” the duo shared in a joint statement to Billboard. "It’s really about the people more than anything. Every meeting we’ve had, we’ve walked away from, having learned something."
They added, “We couldn’t be more excited to be in a place in our career in which we know who we are and have built it up to this point, and now get to learn from, and work with, a whole new group of smart people to help us bring our visions to life. It’s a big step that’s been years in the making.”
The duo's first release under Republic is “Cook,” a collaboration with J Balvin, slated for release on Friday, February 6th.
About the collaboration, Sofi Tukker expressed their excitement: “We’re beside ourselves with excitement… J Balvin is one of the artists we have most looked up to… his values, his music, his fashion and use of color… the way he has brought reggaeton and Spanish to the world… the way he lifts other artists up. He’s a superstar, and we’re also proud to call him a friend. We’ve worked on a lot of different songs together but we immediately knew this one was the one.“
Sofi Tukker is managed by Myles Shear, Mike Hoerner, and Bella Tamis under Animal Talk, part of the duo’s own Animal Talk brand. Animal Talk Management formed last summer in partnership with Palm Tree Management.
Sofi Tukker has had 16 songs chart on Billboard's Hot Dance/Electronic Songs since 2018. Their last studio album was 2024’s Bread, followed by a remix album, Butter, in 2025.
