Wingz (Markus Kocar) is a pivotal figure in the contemporary 'minimal' or 'deep' drum and bass movement, primarily associated with the influential UK label Overview Music. Emerging from Vienna's vibrant electronic scene, Kocar has distinguished himself through a rigorous, self-taught approach to sound design that eschews traditional sampling in favor of total synthesis.
His sound identity is defined by high-contrast dynamics, where sharp, metallic percussion meets warm, undulating sub-bass. While his early influences include the high-energy sounds of Pendulum and Mefjus, his mature work reflects a shift toward the atmospheric depth of Burial and the textural complexity of Rival Consoles. This evolution culminated in his 2024 debut LP 'Ghost', which solidified his reputation for bringing an emotional, introspective dimension to technical D&B. Critically, he is regarded as a 'producer's producer', frequently cited for his impeccable mixdowns and innovative use of space. He sits at the center of a web of artists like Waeys and Monty, collectively redefining the genre for a more nuanced, post-club listening environment.
