             https://djwheelup.bandcamp.com/album/inner-               
             light                                                     

             WheelUP emits 'Inner Light', his album                    
             featuring previous triple-track single Magnetic           
             with Sio, Juggle, and Flash feat. Abacus.                 

             The album marks WheelUP's evolution, spiritual            
             and sonic, breaking from his celebrated broken            
             beat legacy to explore new frontiers in his               
             production. The albums title track, 'Inner               
             Light', sits centrepiece in the album, pulling            
             together its dynamic, high-spirit threads with            
             global groove overtones and sax-led strut.                

             'Inner Light' is centred around the guiding              
             life force (what is called Chi energy in                  
             Eastern cultures), WheelUP explains, emitting            
             positive energy through thoughts, decisions and           
             actions. He adds The project represents a                
             musical vibration that aligns with my own inner           
             light. 'Inner Light', ventures into house and            
             disco cuts, alongside WheelUPs signature                 
             mastery of broken beat production, showcasing             
             his resourceful artistry and genre-spanning               
             vision. I think my sound is in constant                  
             evolution, he adds.                                      

             Opening the album is 'Angel', made with label             
             mate Steven Bamidele, a neo-soul-tinged, funk-            
             filled disco number. Its a new direction of             
             travel musically, one which I am very much                
             enjoying. WheelUP adds, the perfect                      
             introduction to his branching out. Steven                 
             appears later on 'Take My Word' which carries             
             through the funky disco feel, with bass licks             
             and tropical percussion.                                  

             Amongst the collaborations is Sean McCabe, A             
             legend in house music as WheelUP describes.              
             The Bristol-based producer has amassed an                 
             impressive discography, delivering inspired               
             reworks for labels like Local Talk, Z Records,            
             Strictly Rhythm, Room Control, Tribe, Quantize            
             and his own label Good Vibrations Music. A                
             self-confessed lover of vintage synthesisers            
             picked up from listening to classic New York              
             boogie and 80s soul, which can be heard                 
             through 'Commit To Sound'. The vintage synths             
             and nostalgic chords are paired with a crisp              
             modern finish and samba-esque percussion. A               
             deep broken beat cut, the track is reminiscent            
             of early 4hero.                                           

             Victoria Port, the vocalist in WheelUP's live             
             band, features prominently across the album,              
             lending her signature warmth and ethereal                 
             vocals. Victoria brings a wholesome energy and           
             angelic vocal delights, WheelUP shares. Shes           
             such a positive, sweet-hearted person. I love             
             making music with her just as much as                     
             performing live.                                         

             Ports vocals grace tracks including 'Voice               
             Inside', 'Find A Way', and 'Duality',                     
             culminating in a high-energy finale on 'Night             
             Vision with Abacus'. On this club banger, the             
             trio locks into a driving house groove, with              
             tight drum syncopation and peak-hour intensity.           
             'Night Vision' is probably my first fully                
             defined house record, says WheelUP. I went in           
             on the synths to channel a Kaytranada-esque,              
             Quincy Jones, and Neptunes-style warmth. The             
             result is a feel-good closer that leaves the              
             album on a euphoric high.                                 

             The project follows a recent tour across China            
             and WheelUPs sophomore album, We Are The                
             Magic, along with recent remixes, including              
             his take on Alice Russells Rain and fresh                
             reworks of his tracks by Wipe The Needle,                 
             Afriquoi, and Makoto.
