WheelUP

WheelUP is the moniker of London-based producer and DJ Danny Wheeler, known for blending broken beat, nu jazz, and electronic funk into fresh and vibrant club music. Emerging from the fertile West London scene, he's been closely associated with the bruk revival movement, with releases on labels like Tru Thoughts. Drawing influence from pioneers like IG Culture and Kaidi Tatham, WheelUP’s music is rhythmically complex and deeply rooted in the soulful, syncopated grooves of broken beat, often incorporating Afro-Caribbean and jazz elements.

His work has made a strong impact with tracks like "Inner Light," "Safe In Your Arms," and "We Are The Magic," showcasing both a deep respect for the genre’s origins and a forward-thinking production style. Whether through original releases or remixes for artists like Afriquoi and Makoto, WheelUP continues to push the envelope of UK dance music, making him a key player in the genre’s modern evolution.
