Hailing from the leafy suburbs of South West London is one of the UK’s best-known electronic artists… Wilkinson. His first insight into making music came at the age of 9 when his parents bought him a drum kit. Mark ‘Wilkinson’ joined a few bands, playing at venues as far as the Birmingham NEC and as close as the local old people’s home. This swiftly ended at the age of 14 when Wilkinson discovered his passion for dance music.

In his final year at college, he tried his hand at making beats, leading him to buy his first bits of production gear and turning his bedroom into a studio. A few years and part-time jobs later, after driving his family mad with large amounts of bass loosening the brickwork of his house, Mark secured himself a studio not far from his home.

After fine-tuning his production skills, Wilkinson passed a few songs on to Hospital Records via Cyantific, which led to his first release on Hospital’s Sick Music 2 compilation. A few months later he sent a folder of tunes to Ram Records and within days received a phone call from Andy C inviting him for a meeting at the Ram HQ.

Fast forward a few years later and Wilkinson has cemented himself as one of the most successful stars in dance music. Following his club anthems Tonight, Take You Higher, Too Close and countless others, Wilkinson released Half Light charting at #20, Dirty Love which peaked at #10, Hopelessly Coping peaking at #23 on the UK Top 40, and Afterglow, which became a top 5 hit on the UK Chart, selling 1.2 million copies, racking up over 200 million streams, and earning a Platinum disc.

To date, he has sold a mighty 3 million singles and been streamed over half a billion times. His debut album Lasers Not Included went to number 1 on the iTunes Dance Chart in 10 countries, and his tour schedule takes him across the globe performing everywhere from Glastonbury, SW4, Reading & Leeds to EDC Las Vegas, his Ibiza residency at Amnesia, and festivals from New York to New Zealand.

He’s gone on to build a fierce live reputation with his band over the last five years, selling out London’s Electric, The Forum and Roundhouse, and remarkably the iconic Brixton Academy twice. Not to mention headlining international festivals including Snow bombing, Pukkelpop and Sziget.

Having remixed and collaborated with the likes of Rag’n’Bone Man, The Prodigy, Ed Sheeran, Chase & Status, Wretch 32, Naughty Boy, Laura Mvula and Becky Hill, he’s scooped ‘Best Single’, ‘Best Album’, ‘Best Video’, ‘Best Producer’ and ‘Best Live Act’ at the National Drum & Bass Awards, as well as the VEVO Viewers Award at the MVA’s.

His second album Hypnotic (released April 2017) became the most successful D&B album of the year, charting at #14 on the UK iTunes Album Chart and reaching the Top 20 iTunes Album chart across 6 countries, winning him an army of loyal supporters and some unlikely fans such as Zane Lowe, Skrillex, and even Elton John.

In 2020 Wilkinson teamed up with fellow D&B titan Sub Focus to release their collaboration album Portals via EMI. The record charted at #1 on the OCC Official Dance Chart and saw all three singles playlisted by BBC Radio 1. In fact, over recent years Wilkinson has remarkably been playlisted by BBC Radio 1 fourteen times.

2022 saw the release of his third solo studio album Cognition on his own label Sleepless Music. The album has already become the most successful drum and bass album for a decade, charting at #1 on the OCC Official Dance Chart and at #3 in New Zealand’s album charts. The record includes two Top 40 hit singles—Here For You with Becky Hill and the Radio 1 A List playlisted Used To This with Issey Cross.

With his third sold-out Brixton Academy show and a global tour across the year, stay tuned—this bonafide electronic star continues to rise.

Irish dance producer KETTAMA's tracks are big, celebratory bangers representing the exuberant side of house and garage. He made a major splash with his debut EP, 2018's Bucklyn Bridge, and became a Rinse FM regular in addition to collaborating with Lone and Prospa, and releasing several more solo records. His music embraced '90s trance and Euro-dance influences on ecstatic releases like 2023's Fallen Angel.

Maribou State are Chris Davids and Liam Ivory, the UK duo giving electronic music a much-needed shot of soul. Since 2011, they’ve established themselves as major players on the global dance music circuit, melding a genre-fluid range of influences into a distinctly organic sound, redefining downtempo electronica for a new generation. They’ve become a hugely acclaimed live act who’ve performed roadblock shows from Glastonbury to the Sydney Opera House, as well as back-to-back sold-out UK, EU and North American tours.

Over three albums – including a new, forthcoming release – Maribou State have honed a delicate balance of intricacy, intimacy and electronic expansiveness. Their vast sonic universe pulls on UK club music, vintage soul and evocative samples to create something completely unique.

Their 2015 debut, Portraits, was written and recorded in the shed at the bottom of Liam’s parents’ garden in leafy Hertfordshire, just outside of London, where the duo both grew up. Building on Portraits’ success, Maribou State relocated to the UK capital but looked further afield for inspiration: 2018’s Kingdom of Colour wove together a sonic collage of ideas and field recordings from their travels across India, Australia, Morocco, America and beyond. Lead single Feel Good, a collaboration with Texan trio Khruangbin, was a runaway success, while the album itself was released to widespread acclaim. It led dance music bible Mixmag to crown Maribou State one of their artists of the year.

The duo have always stayed true to their club roots: they started DJing together in the mid-2000s and pay homage to the lineage of UK dance music throughout their productions, such as the much-loved single Turnmills, named for the legendary former London club. They followed it with 2019’s Kingdoms In Colour Remixed, featuring reworkings from the likes of HAAi, Maceo Plex and DJ Tennis and, in 2020, an instalment of Fabric’s esteemed Fabric Presents series. The compilation evidenced their wide-reaching music tastes and linked soul, disco and bumpier house grooves with UK jazz and even neo-classical.

Maribou State’s live show has simultaneously evolved to the next level, where they have become must-see headliners. Their band has come to its fullest realisation on their new and third album, Hallucinating Love. It’s a beacon of hopefulness after a turbulent past few years both personally and professionally, where Chris has been coming to terms with a major brain condition, bringing the duo closer together than ever before. The hotly-anticipated release brings together a host of impressive talents, including vocalists Holly Walker and Andreya Triana, and incredibly talented producer Jack Sibley, for a celebration of community, togetherness and triumphing against the odds.

Hallucinating Love is preceded by two exceptional singles, and soothing balms for tempestuous times. Blackoak typifies Maribou State’s earthy blend of folk, epic strings, elastic funk bass and earworm vocal hooks, while a ghostly trip-hop beat underpins Andreya Triana’s sublime vocal on All I Need. It’s a complex tapestry of sound, but one that always brings heart and soul to the forefront.

TANZPARTEI II features standout collaborations from Ocean and Dun That with KAM-BU & TeaMarr, as well as Bawo on Talking Too Much; a reflection of ATRIP’s ethos to blend genres and emotions. The mixtape captures a broad spectrum of energy, from euphoric high points to introspective moments, all while staying true to his trademark blend of vibrant, kinetic production.

Friday (Alone Right Now), the latest single and focus track for the mixtape, has already become a staple in ATRIP’s DJ sets throughout the year, earning heavy rotation from prominent DJs such as Barry Can’t Swim, Joy Anonymous, and salute. Its infectious groove and dance floor-ready energy have made it a fan favourite, setting the stage for the larger-than-life sound of TANZPARTEI II.

ATRIP will be wrapping up an incredible year by hitting the road alongside some of the biggest names in electronic music. He will be joining Disclosure at their night for Warehouse Project, supporting Barry Can’t Swim at his three O2 Academy Brixton shows on 1st, 2nd & 3rd November, before making his debut across North America, with a 7-date tour where he will touch down in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Washington DC, amongst others. He will wrap up the year with his headline show at Phonox on 28th November as he continues to build on the incredible momentum he’s developed over the past year, solidifying his position as one of the UK’s most exciting and innovative names on the circuit.

Having already gained recognition from the likes of HAAi, Bonobo, Disclosure, Barry Can’t Swim, DJ Seinfeld and Lil Silva, as well as millions of organic streams, ATRIP is poised to make a major impact with TANZPARTEI II. His commitment to cultivating a genuine community around his music—from his renowned pub meet-ups to fostering relationships with fans via WhatsApp—is a testament to his dedication to creating a shared experience that transcends the club.
