The Dusk Session Ep 18

An hour journey through stellar faster tempo releases from dBridges label, Exit Records.

Originally aired on Kool FM (Rinse FM) on 8th of March 2025

POINT OF FOCUS: EXIT RECORDS

I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoyed putting it together.

Note for promoters: I have purposefully put together just a 30 minute mix as I appreciate we all have very busy schedules. It’s not easy getting your message across in such a short mix but it was enough time however to have a gradual increase in energy. In terms of classic drum and bass I can be very versatile. This particular mix is just a showcase of some of my personal favourites. I’m also more than happy to do this as a vinyl mix if need be. This was recorded on a Pioneer DDJ-FLX4.

Tollgate Shindigs / Classic D&B mix: Volume Two

Hailing from Buckinghamshire, Wilman is a rapidly emerging force in the UK drum & bass scene. Since stepping onto the decks in late 2023, Wilman’s rise has beennothing short of explosive—earning a reputation for his dynamic sets, 
 deep musical knowledge, and unmistakable passion for the rave.

A true connoisseur of DnB, Wilman seamlessly blends a spectrum of subgenres
including jungle, neurofunk, rollers, old-school jump-up, and dancefloor. His eclectic yet calculated tune selection, paired with high-energy mixing and an innate connection to the crowd, guarantees an unforgettable experience every time he steps up.

Wilman’s love for the music runs deeper than the decks. A raver at heart since the age of 18, he channels that same energy and spirit into every performance—
delivering sets that are both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Drawing inspiration
from the golden era of late '90s and early 2000s DnB, Wilman crafts his sound with a fresh, modern edge.

Currently signed to @foundationpresents_, Wilman has already made an impact
across the UK, playing in cities such as London, Brighton, Bournemouth, Cardiff,
Milton Keynes, Hitchin, Aylesbury and Hemel Hempstead. With gigs stacking up
and momentum building, he’s firmly establishing himself as one to watch in the
scene.

He's already shared lineups with some of the genre’s heavy hitters, including The
Upbeats, Kara, SMG, Joe Ford, Waeys, T>I, Aries, Skylark, Spektiv, and One87—
proving he can hold his own among some of the best in the business.
Whether it's a gritty roller session or a full-blown dancefloor tearout, Wilman brings the vibes, the selections, and the energy every single time. With a serious work ethic, a sharp ear, and a deep-rooted love for the culture, he’s not just making noise—he’s making a name.

Distorted Flow

Founder of BrainRave Music and Label Manager at Renegade Hardware, Tollgate Shindigs first found his love for 'dance' music whilst he was still attending school in the early 90's.  His older brother would buy all the old Eclipse, Amnesia House, Perception, Fibreoptics, Quest tape packs which became the soundtrack to his early teens.   The years that followed saw him obsess with the somewhat natural progression of Jungle, Happy Hardcore through to Drum & Bass. 

At 16 years of age Midlands based Tollgate Shindigs was hosting his own multi genre events in various local pubs and clubs which led to a regular event called ‘Nocturnal Combustion’ at the once thriving Crazy Daisies in Coventry.  At these events he would book and DJ alongside artists in the calibre of Andy C, Ed Rush, Bryan Gee, SS, Bad Company, Ratty, GQ, and Flux.

In the early 2000's he learned his craft at Coventry Technical College where he studied Music Technology.  In the years that followed he has had successful releases on both Root97 and BrainRave Music with more releases in the pipeline.

Fast forward 30 years and having recently played for brands such as Amnesia House, Raveology, Standard Procedure Presents & BrainRave Music he has once again become an active member of the Drum & Bass community and has found a renewed passion for both DJ’ing and Music Production.
