Info for Portals

Two artists in the dance music scene who need little in the way of introductions are Sub Focus and Wilkinson. Over the years they have dominated the drum and bass community with smash singles like “Take It Up,” “Take You Higher,” and “Tidal Wave” to further cement their legacy among the greats. Today, they made it clear they’re ready to take the next step in their careers with a collaborative album dubbed Portals.

In 2020, drum & bass titans Sub Focus and Wilkinson teamed up for three smash hit singles: club banger "Illuminate," the old-school breakbeat-infused "Just Hold On," and future classic "Air I Breathe," released just last month. Fans were already enamored by those three mega-collaborations, but now they'll be getting even more new music from the all-star duo, as Sub Focus and Wilkinson have just announced their new forthcoming album, Portals.

The new record will feature all three previously released singles, plus eight other tracks that expand on the sound that fans have come to know each artist for. Featuring live instrumentation from a multitude of talented artists as well as experimentation with different styles and tempos, Portals is set to serve as a showcase of the depth and sonic breadth of Sub Focus and Wilkinson's talents.

"It’s all pretty mad. We started the album way before all of this happened, but when we were finishing it we were doing everything remotely, including vocal sessions. We met up the other day for the first time in six or seven months… It has been a super tough time for everybody, especially in the music & events industries, but we are thankful it has given us the time to finish this project." (Sub Focus)

"Although the circumstances are bad, I did feel like I was due a break from touring. It’s taken its toll on me mentally and physically, I think a few of us felt like that. Six months have passed though now and I’m dying to get back to touring again, it’s getting annoying now." (Wilkinson)
