Lover of electronica and hard beats, deep bass and sharp synths

DJ Wheels appeared on the scene professionally in the lockdown of March 2020, when everything came to a standstill due to the pandemic. He started by applying for online radio stations through a popular social media platform. Thinking he would give hosting his own weekly show  a try and the rest is history as they say!!!!

 After starting a weekly show on grooveLondon radio on Mondays, 12-2pm.. gaining a reputation for being a versatile, DJ playing anything from old skool all the way through to House and trance

He then started to gain an attractive online following as a result of that since departing from GrooveLondon his career has gone from strength to strength, still blasting out bangers on radio stations, such as House Music Radio and Code South FM  to name a few.

As well as a huge online presence. He has also played in some pretty well-known clubs and bars up and down the country such as the iconic Brixton Jam representing last night a DJ, saved my life… And also playing at the Volks Nightclub in Brighton


Lastly, his recent explosion has seen him be signed by none other than Paul Van Dyk, trance, legend and label owner with his debut release, met you securing a place in the top 100 Beatport charts 2022
