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.

Islandman, a music trio in this realm but a fictional character in reality , is a musical identity, a visionary who inspired by an island which does not exist, could not dream the roads they passed by would lead to such interesting and beautiful places...

Islanman's journeys took them to best band award at Montreux Jazz Festival, to a Kecak dance in Bali, stories in streets of Paris, ancient sounds of women in Bulgaria's mountains. Aşık Veysel in Anatolia, Worldwide FM in London, Tuareg's hypnotic music in Mali deserts, being a guest in Elton John's radio show, an amazing musical trip to Boiler Room series, studio sessions with Bongo Ent. in Denmark, softest women vocals in South America and much much more experience which they do not want to prolong by writing.  
  
Islandman managed to become an alternative existence and form a family with extraordinary members from many places around the world. Sharp mind of Tolga Böyük in production and deep stories in music, Erdem Başer's psychedelic guitar riffs which takes listeners to alternative worlds, Eralp Güven's 4-beat-diversified rhythms, turn Islandman's performance into a musical clinic, a shamanic ritual with collected sounds from the paths that they walk . They take listeners to a deep musical journey with sincerity.
