See this content in the original post

Last year broken beat revivalist, producer & DJ WheelUP (a.k.a. West London’s Danny Wheeler) introduced us to Bulawayo EP, to the praise and support from some of the pioneers of the movement. Conceptually formed around his father’s tribe in Zimbabwe, the Ndebele EP (pronounced in-de-bele) see’s Danny sonically push the boundaries of broken beat, with four dancefloor tracks that effortlessly fuse in elements of nu-jazz, leftfield house/techno and echoes of disco-cuts.

As one of the main names coming out from the contemporary broken beat scene, WheelUp takes on a modern take on the genre, producing an unmistakably, melting-pot-like, West London sound. African percussion, syncopated rhythms, cosmic references and dancefloor spirits blasting on this one. With Tru Thoughts stamp on, Ndebele EP is available on high-standard digital formats.
