Right from his debut album, which included collaborative hits like ‘Heartbeat,’ ‘Half Light,’ and, of course, the iconic ‘Afterglow’ with Becky Hill – a tune that still gets the loudest responses even after a decade since its release are proof that Wilkinson’s collaborations consistently produce groundbreaking results. Now, four albums deep, Wilkinson has given the scene some of its most memorable moments throughout his career, which has made him one of the most influential figures of modern-day drum & bass. Emily Makis, on the other hand, has become one of the most recognizable voices of the genre. Thoughtful lyricism, a profound voice, and her ability to create tense atmospheres have solidified her reputation as a prominent drum & bass hitmaker. [Spotify Embed: Break It Down (feat.

For their first-ever collaboration, Wilkinson and Emily Makis have come together to deliver what is set to be one of the biggest drum & bass anthems of 2024 and another memorable singalong courtesy of the pair. Having been on heavy rotation in nearly all of Wilkinson’s recent sets, ‘Break It Down’ was already a heavily discussed dub of the season, the tune has finally seen the light of day. Emily Makis wastes no time in letting her commanding style of vocals come through with the intro; and just when you think the tune is heading in an intergalactic direction, you’re surprised by Wilkinson’s rugged and feisty drop that fully changes the course of the song into a thumping drum & bass stomper. Be it a club or a festival, ‘Break It Down’ will definitely rattle the floor it’s dropped on. **‘Break It Down’ by Wilkinson featuring Emily Makis is out on all streaming platforms via Sleepless Music.** **You May Also Like:** [The Prodigy, Nia Archives, Imanu and More Tapped for Boomtown 2024](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2024/07/31/the-prodigy-nia-archives-imanu-and-more-tapped-for-boomtown-2024) [TFword in Conversation with CYLAS](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2024/07/25/tfword-in-conversation-with-cylas) [Mercury Prize 2024 Nominees: Charli XCX, Nia Archives, and More](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2024/07/31/mercury-prize-2024-nominees-charli-xcx-nia-archives-and-more) Share [X](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fword%2F2024%2F08%2F01%2Fwilkinson-and-emily-makis-team-up-for-a-blazing-summer-anthem.md&text=Wilkinson+and+Emily+Makis+Team+up+for+a+Blazing+Summer+Anthem) [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fword%2F2024%2F08%2F01%2Fwilkinson-and-emily-makis-team-up-for-a-blazing-summer-anthem.md) [WhatsApp](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=Wilkinson+and+Emily+Makis+Team+up+for+a+Blazing+Summer+Anthem+https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fword%2F2024%2F08%2F01%2Fwilkinson-and-emily-makis-team-up-for-a-blazing-summer-anthem.md) ## Sagar Deshmukh Drum & Bass head with a tinge of hip shake for Disco.
