Empathy Sessions Radio 008 / Guest HIGGINS

From a young age, Higgins found solace in record shops, always on the lookout for the latest music. Like many DJs starting out, his passion for collecting records grew alongside his desire to develop a unique style and technique. He spent countless nights traveling to club events and distributing mixtapes, which was just the norm in those days.

His persistence eventually paid off, landing him gigs at venues across the UK, including a residency at 'The Edge' in Sheffield. During this time, he had the opportunity to play alongside iconic DJs like Mickey Finn, Grooverider, Swan-E, Hype, and SS.

But despite his success, Higgins felt something was missing. He was ready for a new challenge and a fresh direction. Influenced by producers like Brian Transeau, Blue Amazon, Paul Oakenfold, and especially Paul Van Dyk's legendary 7 Ways album, he began to seek out new musical horizons.

The turning point came with his introduction to Sasha & John Digweed. Their innovative style and impeccable track selection had a profound impact on Higgins, inspiring him to push his own boundaries further.

As a former resident DJ for Upcloseandpersonalmcr, one of the UK’s leading club nights known for its intimate atmosphere and world-class lineups, Higgins played alongside top-tier DJs such as Danny Howells, Nick Muir, Eelke Kleijn, Quivver, Guy Mantzur, Robert Babicz, Luke Brancaccio, and many more.

Now, as the driving force behind Secluded Events Worldwide and in partnership with Guerilla Music Agency, Higgins is gearing up for an exciting 2024 with major projects on the horizon.

His current favorite producers include Davi, Barry Jamieson, Sasha, Bedrock, MJ Hooker, D-NOX, Dilby, Nick Curly, Steve Bug, Gorge, Cybernalia, Audiojack, Nick Muir, TILT, Ian Bland, Luke Brancaccio, Steve Parry, and Quivver—the list goes on.

Higgins’ musical style is all about keeping the crowd moving, ensuring every set is a dance floor experience like no other. With his passion and vision driving him forward, the future looks incredibly bright.

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.
