After learning to produce in lockdown, Carly Wilford has become one of the most promising new names in dance music. Her recent releases ‘Burning Night and ‘Sky High’ were heavily backed by Radio 1 gaining ongoing support from Sarah Story, Danny Howard, and also becoming Jaguar’s ‘DanceFloor Moment’.
After stand-out performances at Glastonbury Festival and in Ibiza this summer, her high-energy sects bring forward a new wave of house music whilst honoring the very roots of the scene she grew up raving to. Starting out as a Presenter, her early career saw her take over the airwaves on the Rinse FM Breakfast Show before taking bold steps to become a respected DJ and Music Producer.
Soundtracking the nights where the music talks more sense than anything else, ‘The Awakening’ sees Carly Wilford enter 2023 with a banging, late-night-meets-early-morning house anthem. Already road-tested at Ministry of Sound and Glastonbury, this track is designed to keep listeners going till the break of dawn.
Below, she provides a list of ten deep cuts that are essential to any afterparty.
