History
Wilkinson works the melodic end of drum and bass, where the breakbeat stays at full speed but everything above it is built like a pop song. The production is clean and wide: rolling amen-derived drums, a bassline that sings rather than grinds, warm pads, and a guest vocal given enough room to carry an actual chorus. Afterglow is the track that made the case, reaching the UK top ten in 2013 and pulling liquid drum and bass onto daytime radio without slowing the tempo down to meet it. Dirty Love and Sweet Lies follow the same logic, pairing euphoric vocal hooks with a rhythm section that never stops moving, and the live shows lean on that same build-and-release shape. He is closely associated with the Ram Records circle and with the stretch when British drum and bass found a genuinely commercial voice again. A listener recognises the sound by its brightness: major-key melody, sung hooks, and a drop that opens up rather than closes in.
