Dismantle

From his recent signing with Manchester powerhouse Warehouse Project Records to his collaborations with some of the most integral figures across electronic music such as Skrillex, Shy FX, DJ Randall, DJ Die, right the way back to his breakthrough bass days, Dismantle (AKA Will Knighton) hasn’t just traversed many corners of the dancefloor. He’s often carved his own. These moves came early in his career. Dismantle’s debut release ‘Computation’ catapulted him to international touring DJ status at the age of 18. A certified dubstep anthem, it was supported by the likes of Skream & Benga, Annie Mac and Zane Lowe and led to a series of Dismantle club mutations throughout the 2010s, each one bridging the gap between dubstep and the decade’s more prominent house-influenced 4x4 sound. Working with a range of labels from Shy FX’s Digital Soundboy to big room institution Toolroom, not to mention the party hardy hits of Gutterfunk, Will’s fusion of styles and creative flexibility and curiosity has always been a key part of his signature. It’s meant that his name is known across some of the most relevant, resonant and revolutionary contemporary musical movements of our time from house to drum & bass and even jazz and broken beat.
