Wheez-ie

Based in LA, Wheez-ie’s illustrious style of rave is thundering and propulsive, designed to ignite dance floors and encourage introspection. As a virtuosic mixing DJ and lifelong student, the Houston native’s music displays a deep mastery and knowledge of genre tropes, as well as innumerable ways in which he expounds upon and subverts them – folding jungle and hardcore into ghettotech and techno.

In addition to tactfully building a catalog of original music that reflects his distinctive knack for pushing boundaries, with releases on esteemed labels including THEM, Fool’s Gold, Well Rounded, and Nest HQ, he also runs his own independent label, Southern Belle Recordings. The imprint, whose inaugural release slot was blessed by the late DJ Rashad in 2014, doubles as another pathway for Wheez-ie to express support for those in the trenches alongside him, further showcasing how this music and the community it fosters is integral to his self-expression, identity and overall gratitude for being able to give back to a scene that has given him so much.

Throughout his myriad of experiences in music, Wheez-ie remains just as captivated by his craft today as he was over a decade ago. As exemplified through his dexterous DJ sets, multifarious production and in the artists he collaborates with, Wheez-ie turns to experimentation to further find his voice, helping him garner a reputation as a musician dedicated to elevating the art itself.
