Theres not many djs with a history of creating a party as well as playing at them as Stuart Wilkinson.
After spending most weekends raving at Lakota, Karanga, Cafe Blue and driving all over the south west in the late 90’s, he soon moved from Weston super Mare to Bristol and started his own club night Empathy at Bar Latino in 2001, weekly Thursdays for over 4 years, then moving to various venues across the city such as Timbuk2, Blue Mountain, Motion and Native.
The night continued into its second decade at Dojo and celebrated its 15th Birthday at the 02 Academy with John Digweed and Nick Warren in 2016. 
Not many promoters have brought as many dis to Bristol, with the likes of Darren Emerson, Henry Saiz, James Zabiela, Lee Burridge, James Holden, Dave Seaman, Adam Freeland, Locodice, Timo Maas and many more. It was the 21st Birthday that really took the roof off in 2022 with Laurent Garnier taking centre stage.
Stuart is also responsible for the rise and creation of Mr Whompy, for a decade the Ice Cream Van Soundsystem has been a firm favourite at Boomtown, Elrow, NIbley, Stoke Croft Block Party, Lemonfest and many more. 
Over the years Stu has also started various other club nights such as Unity at Lakota, Loop at Blue Mountain, Hope at Arc, Digital at Dojo, Dirty Blue and Arc, Empathize at Big Chill and Double Disco at various venues.
Stuart has also been lucky enough to play Glastonbury many times and overseas in Empathy in Auckland, Prague and Ibiza and dis gigs in Portugal and Poland plus Creamfields in Prague.

Hailing from Norwich I found my feet running a night called Subtonic, later evolved to subtonic sundays  in Camden Town. Learning the art of Long Eclectic sets
Learned my craft playing exclusive warm up sets for likes of Ronisize, Grooverider, Fabio, Andy C, DJ Marky. Amongst other nights.  I enjoy the journey of music, light and dark,  chilled and exciting.
Mainly a vinyl DJ but slowly catching up with the 21st century!! 
I’ve mad a couple of tunes but not got deep into production yet.. 
I hope you enjoy what I post on this page, if you do spread the love. 
Thanks
