UK-based Wilkinson is a must-see at Beyond Wonderland SoCal this year for any Drum n Bass head. An undeniable leader in his genre, Wilkinson occupies a unique space where not only is he responsible from some of the best nostalgic rave throwbacks (that’s right – I’m looking at you, “Afterglow“), but his career has also only continued to reach new peaks since his early hits. Whether he’s launching his label Frontline, releasing a critically-loved collaborative album with Sub Focus, or releasing his own fiery Cognition album, Wilkinson is always working to make sure the DnB community is supplied with impeccable tunes poised to become classics. Don’t miss the chance to see this true legend grace the decks of the Mad Hatter’s Castle stage and continue that mission.

Wax Motif is a master of the decks that you won’t want to miss. After releasing his popular debut album House of Wax on his label Divided Souls last year, Wax Motif proved that his decade-long career that established him as an important, innovative bass house act in the scene was no accident. Known for taking contemporary bass house and blending it with his unique influences ranging from R&B to bass music, his audiences are never left disappointed by his well-crafted sets. If you’re looking for some booty-popping vibes with a thoughtful twist, look no further than Wax Motif on the Queen’s Domain stage.


Grafix

Grafix is another Drum n Bass artist that will be turning your heads — right before you start moving your feet to his insatiably epic songs. Based in the UK and coming off of his latest album Half Life, released last year on Hospital Records, this year’s Beyond Wonderland SoCal is a rare chance to catch him play a set to North American audiences. The occasion is made even more special by the fact that Grafix will be playing the Sea of Wonder stage – a new stage introduced to the festival this year and curated by the team behind Space Yacht.
