Hailing from the leafy suburbs of South West London is Ram Records? new signing 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 and was playing at venues as far as the Birmingham NEC and as close as the local old peoples home. This swiftly ended at the age of 14 when Wilkinson discovered his passion for dance music amongst other things. In his final year at college Wilkinson tried his hand at making beats in the college studio, this lead to him buying 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 Records? Sick Music 2 compilation. A few months later Wilkinson 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 Records HQ.
October 2010 saw three of Wilkinson?s songs featured on Andy C?s Nightlife 5 album and releases including ?Moonwalker?/?Samurai?, ?Refuge?, ?Get Into It? and the mighty ?Everytime?/?Overdose? doing damage across dance-floors worldwide, winning fans from Skream, Fabio and High Contrast in the process.
Since then Mark has remixed Chase & Status top 5 single ?Time?, Time Takers ?She Blows? and Example?s new single ?Midnight Run? to much critical acclaim. He?s also currently working on production projects for new Mercury Records signing Jay?Elle?Dee and Island Records artist Jess Mills.
Now hotly tipped to do big things across drum & bass and electronica, Wilkinson is also busy working on his debut album for Ram Records and continues to tour worldwide from Sydney to Berlin, Barcelona to Brighton with his dynamic and energetic DJ sets.
Release date is Oct 28, please add.
