‘We Are The Magic’ is the new sophomore album from producer and DJ WheelUP aka West London’s Danny Wheeler, released via Tru Thoughts on 5th May 2023. Built around concepts such as the law of attraction, humanitarianism, and spiritualism – 'We Are The Magic' adds to the broken beat canon while showcasing WheelUP's most mature and forward-thinking work to date. The LP boasts contributions and collaborations with a host of talent: Kaidi Tatham, Sam Interface, Abacus, Victoria Port (Anushka), Toya Delazy, Spaceship Coyote, Destiny Will, Brint Story, Steelo and more. Journeying through broken beat, jazz-funk, hip-hop, trap, bass, house, neo-soul and beyond, across the album’s eleven tracks, WheelUP embarks on a sonic exploration filled with synthesis, polyrhythms and creative innovative techniques. Talking about the concept of ‘We Are The Magic’, Danny explains: “It’s a somewhat esoteric idea that we (humanity) are the magic of life, whether that is a smile from a stranger that uplifts another person or some piece of kindness that has a butterfly effect and affects someone or something else in a positive way. Magic is excitement, the spark of life and life itself is a magical experience.” Since the world has reopened, WheelUP has been taking his live band (featuring 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.
