Биография

As an artist, producer and DJ of dual Zimbabwean and British heritage, growing up in the epicentre of bruk that is West London, it was only natural that Danny would gravitate towards the ‘West London Sound’; as WheelUP puts it: “It’s in my musical DNA”. Originating from the drum and bass world as Danny Wheeler, WheelUP follows the footsteps and lineage of 4hero, evolving from jungle/D&B to broken beat/bruk and was knighted an “honorary Bugz” by the original dons of broken beat, Bugz in the Attic, due to WheelUP’s work in pushing the bruk sound to new audiences, as well as Marc Mac, who thanked Danny for putting broken beat back “at the forefront”. WheelUP has been taking his live band (featuring a plethora of talent: Nathan “Tugg” Curran, Toya Delzay, Ella Knight, MC AD and Tom Mason) and DJ sets to clubs and festivals like Shambala, Lost Village, Love Supreme, We Out Here, Kendal Calling, Brick Lane Jazz Festival, Night Tales (b2b with Jamz Supernova) and many more. After his debut London headline show at Paper Dress Vintage, WheelUP launched his own club night, aptly titled ‘WheelUP Presents’, inviting key inter-generational players in the broken beat scene such as Afronaut, Jamz Supernova and Ben Hauke to the stage. ‘We Are the Magic’ is the follow-up release to WheelUP’s debut album ‘Good Love’ (2021) and features Kaidi Tatham, Sam Interface, Abacus, Victoria Port (Anushka), Toya Delazy, Spaceship Coyote, Destiny Will, Brint Story, Steelo and more.
