Drum’n’bass heavyweights Sub Focus and Wilkinson finally confirmed the release date of their upcoming album Portals. The collaborative project is set to come out on 9 October 2020 via Casablance Records on digital, CD and vinyl, available to pre-order now. Recorded in Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios, the record will feature their three singles ‘Illuminate‘, ‘Just Hold On‘ and ‘Air I Breathe‘.
With over 6 million combined record sales and numerous dance chart toppers, both DJs are no strangers to producing club anthems and worldwide electronic dance hits, and have certainly set the expectations high with their recent releases. While highlighting their individual signature styles and legacy, the exciting project is set to take them to a brand new direction of more experimentation, sonic depth and instrumental variety.

In September 2019, Sub Focus and Wilkinson released their first collaboration ‘Illuminate‘ which immediately captured the hearts of drum’n’bass and dance fans worldwide, and already passed 10 million streams on Spotify. This year, the London-based producers added two more tracks to their shared repertoir – the breakbeat-infuenced ‘Just Hold On‘ and latest summer hit ‘Air I Breathe‘ featuring vocals from Celementine Douglas.
Recent social media posts confirmed the final artwork and tracklist of Portals. The record will feature eight additional tracks alongside the three singles, and more new music has been promised ahead of the official launch. Pre-orders of any format will also guarantee an exclusive Early Access Digital pass to a 1hr DJ set online stream from Sub Focus and Wilkinson.

Last night, Sub Focus and Wilkinson appeared on Annie Mac’s Mini Mix show on BBC Radio 1 for the exclusive short set ’10 Years of D&B’ ahead of the release of Portals next month. You can still listen to their nostalgic mini mix here.
Sub Focus and Wilkinson spent big part of 2019 touring together with performances across the UK and Europe. A headline spot at the legendary Rampage Festival in Belgium in March saw them kickstart their shared career with an iconic set mixing their old classics and future collaboration hits.
Their most notable domestic appearances include teaming up with Dimension for BBC’s Radio 1 Big Weekend in May and at The Warehouse Project in Manchester in late 2019. Footage from some of their collaboration shows were used for the Official Tour videos of ‘Illuminate‘ and ‘Air I Breathe‘.
