Did you know that when the gates open for Rhythm and Vines, that 50% of the people entering through the gates will be experiencing Rhythm and Vines for the first time. And that also means that a large percentage of attendees would never had their minds blown by a Wilkinson show at Waiohika Estate.

Having played 7 times since 2013, those who have witnessed a Wilkinson set will tell you to buckle in. From his countless back catalogue of DNB bangers and hits, hugging your best mates on Love you Bro Hill, there simply ain't nothing better than Wilkinson at Rhythm and Vines. Oh, and let's not forget, he is playing after the countdown so the vibes will be on another level.

1. AFTERGLOW

Please stand for New Zealand's national anthem! This 2013 anthem is Wilkinson’s biggest hit, and if you are bringing your girlfriend to Rhythm and Vines, better start shredding as those shoulders are going to get a 3 minute workout.

FACT: Becky Hill was 19 when she wrote Afterglow, during a recording session with Willkinson.

2. USED TO THIS (ft Issey Cross)

“Used to This” was the fourth single released in 2021 leading up to Wilkinson’s third studio album, Cognition, which dropped in February 2022. 'Used to This' was one of the first tracks released on Wilkinson's label SLEEPLESS MUSIC, which he launched in 2021.

3. ILLUMINATE

Na na, na na na na na na na na, na na na na na! Man, if you aren't chanting this track after ANY drum and bass rave, then you haven't been to a rave. The music video for “Illuminate” came out 25 November 2019. It features a vintage-style story: two small-town dreamers exploring the countryside of northern England on motorbikes.

4. HERE FOR YOU (ft BECKY HILL)

“Here For You” is part of Wilkinson’s third solo album, Cognition, released 11 February 2022.  The video was shot and produced by our very own Matt Clode during his tour of New Zealand when the rest of the world was still shut down, lucky us. Coincidently, Becky Hill wrote the lyrics "Here for You" during COVID lockdown.

5. INFINITY (featuring ILIRA, Tom Cane & iiola)

“Infinity” was released in 2023 as one of Wilkinson’s new singles. We love this track. Best of all, it features IIOLA aka Shannon Saunders aka Mrs Wilkinson!
