Growing up in the heart of West London’s bruk scene, WheelUP was naturally drawn to the “West London Sound”. Originating from the drum and bass world as Danny Wheeler, he evolved from jungle/D&B to broken beat/bruk and was named an “honorary Bugz” by the legendary Bugz In The Attic for his work in pushing the bruk sound to new audiences. Marc Mac thanked Danny for putting broken beat back “at the forefront”. As an artist, producer, and DJ of dual Zimbabwean and British heritage, and having grown up in West London, the epicentre of bruk, it’s no surprise that Danny, aka WheelUP, became a proponent of the ‘West London Sound.’ As WheelUP puts it: “It’s in my musical DNA.”
As well as a recent tour across China, WheelUP has lit up iconic venues and festivals such as Hootananny Brixton, Shambala, Lost Village, Love Supreme, We Out Here, Kendal Calling, and Worldwide Sète. As a DJ, he recently headlined at Spiritland and Café 1001, and will return as part of Brick Lane Jazz Festival and Worldwide Festival this year. Through his club night, ‘WheelUP Presents,’ he’s hosted broken beat icons like Jamz Supernova and Ben Hauke. A former Balamii resident, WheelUP continues to make waves on the air, with recent mixes for Mellotron, Defected, Radio 1001, and The Boat Pod, alongside a guest appearance on Soho Radio and Reprezent Radio with Drifty.
