Having been on heavy rotation in nearly all of Wilkinson&#8217;s recent sets, &#8216;Break It Down&#8217; was already a heavily discussed dub of the season, the tune has finally seen the light of day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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&#8217;re surprised by Wilkinson&#8217;s rugged and feisty drop that fully changes the course of the song into a thumping drum &amp; bass stomper.
