DWP Denies Involvement with Whip Pink, Clarifies Circulating Logo and Promotions

Jakarta, VIVA – The Djakarta Warehouse Project (DWP) has been implicated in the alleged promotion of Whip Pink brand nitrous oxide (N2O), which is currently being investigated by the Narcotics Criminal Directorate of the Indonesian National Police (Bareskrim Polri). However, the organisers of the electronic music festival have denied any involvement in the promotion of the product that has recently come under scrutiny.

This denial follows the DWP management’s attendance at a summons by Bareskrim Polri investigators to provide clarification regarding the appearance of the DWP name and logo in Whip Pink promotional materials circulating on social media. David Ferdian, Director of Ismaya Live, stated that his presence at Bareskrim was a form of support for the ongoing investigation.

“The examination went smoothly and was fine. It was only brief, not long. We provided clarification today to support our colleagues in the investigators at the National Police Headquarters,” he said on Monday, 8 June 2026.

David admitted that the management was surprised to discover the DWP name appearing in Whip Pink promotions. He noted that the management only became aware of this when the Whip Pink case became a major public discussion earlier this year. Upon discovering the promotional materials featuring DWP, the management immediately requested that the posts be removed.

“We only found out because the news regarding Whip Pink was quite large in late January. We saw in the thread why DWP was there. That is why we immediately issued a warning to them to take down the promo,” he said.

Furthermore, David emphasised that the account spreading the promotion did not belong to DWP. He also noted that the logo used in the promotional material differed from the official logo used by the organisers.

“This is also not our account. We also did not give any consent to Whip Pink to use our logo. Furthermore, the logo used is not the correct official one. Therefore, there is no connection whatsoever,” he stated.

During the session, David also denied the circulation of Whip Pink products within the DWP 2023 event area. He asserted that the security systems and baggage inspections at the event entrances were extremely strict, making it impossible for large gas canisters to pass through into the venue.
