Marking 4 years since his last appearance at Waiohika, it’s a return that we’ve all been waiting for.
At points it’s gentle, emotional and sincere, but it’s also riddled with a vibe that ensures all tunes will work on the dancefloor and vitality that won him the scene’s affection in the first place. Collaborating with artists close to him including a rekindling with the unstoppable Becky Hill on “Here For You”, his partner Iiola on the euphoric “Close Your Eyes” and powerhouses Kanine & Clementine Douglas on “No One Else”, he’s achieved one of drum & bass’ holy grails: a fully dancefloor-aimed album that never dips in tempo or diverts away from D&B, yet never crosses over into the classic ‘collection of bangers’ sensation so many D&B albums end up as. After 10 years at the top of the game and headlining festivals around the world, he shows no sign of stopping off the back of his critically acclaimed fourth album, Cognition. One of the leading names in dance music, WILKINSON has cemented himself as one of the most influential names in dance music history.
