Hamilton vs. Wilkinson: SOUND CLAAAASH!

Both are signed to Ram, both look grumpy in all their promotional material and both have names consisting of three syllables and ending in "on". In addition to this, both Wilkinson and Hamilton have been putting out some really big tracks over the past year. But out of the two, which is best?!  

Round One!
First up, Wilkinson (the one with hair) mixing things up for Fabric:


Nice... Next up, Hamilton's Fabric promo:

 
Hurm, pretty close call, but I guess it's gotta go to Hamilton because his mix is longer and apparently that's what counts(?)

Round Two!
It's signature tunes time! Wilkinson first really started turning heads with Moonwalker, certainly one of the biggest tunes doing the rounds towards the tail end of 2010.



For me, Hamilton's stand out track has to be Echoes. It kinda sounds like High Contrast's Tread Softly , but after it had spent plenty of time at Burger King cultivating mass.



Tough choice this one, but I think it's has to be Moonwalker. Still remember the first time I heard this go off on a proper system. Incredible.

Round Three!
So we enter the final round; Current Releases!

Last single to drop from Wilkinson was the tremendous dancefloor roller Tonight. Bouncy enough to throw yourself about to but not so stupid as to become unlistenable. Awesome stuff. Don't forget to check Pistol Whip on the otherside for a bit of stampy GnB.



Hamilton's most recent release, Deep In My Heart, manages to keep things both deep and uplifting, but for my money the single's best track has to be Rich Kids on the B side. Give it a spin, it's fucking mental! Everything happens at once and yet still slots into the right place. What a shambles! I love the way that drop threatens some sort of Hard Style nightmare before pulling you right back out again. It's like bungee jumping over a piranah filled volcano.



To be honest, Round Three is too close to call, so let's just bail on the whole thing and declare them both winners.

I wonder if they ever get confused when they're both on the same bill and forget who is who...
