Carly Wilford, SGT. Pokes – The Dance [Toolroom]

After a series of standout releases in 2023 on labels like Nervous and Armada Subjekt, Carly Wilford has secured her space as one of the most promising new names in dance music.

Announced as one of the ‘Future of Dance’ best producers in the world by 1001Tracklists and with shows at Glastonbury and Radio One’s ‘Big Weekend’, she is firing on all cylinders right now. Here she drops her debut single on Toolroom, but her involvement and relationship with the label goes back many years.

Carly is an avid attendee at our ‘We Are Listening’ events that encourage women in dance music, she has completed 2 Toolroom Academy production courses and has signed 2 album exclusives to the label in recent years, so this is a real career highlight and success story that proves, hard work does pay off!

Here she teams up with dubstep legend SGT Pokes who, for the first time in his career, lends his trademark, gritty vocals to a tech house track. The record itself is a heads-down, tech house stomper! It has a real unique, original flavour and will be setting dance floors alight as we enter 2024!
