Wheez-ie
̸
Biografía
- Currently based in Los Angeles, Wheez-ie’s illustrious style of rave is thundering and propulsive, designed to both 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. With his writing often regarded as being ahead of its time, Wheez-ie’s strengths include drawing from his breadth of musical study and practice to test his own limits as a producer, resulting in tracks that are as polished as they are unpredictable. Citing his passion for learning about the history of dance music and the different nuances behind its correlating sociology, Wheez-ie finds inspiration in those who have helped shaped respective scenes and production techniques, presenting an opportunity for impact and deeper resonation. Throughout his myriad of experiences in music—which have been accented by touring internationally, being accepted into the now-defunct Red Bull Music Academy and extending his CV to include mastering engineer work for a diverse clientele—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.̸Original Productions Negative Zone EP [THEM] (2020) Questionable Taste EP [Nest HQ] (2016) Missed Connections EP [Southern Belle Recordings] (2016) Deadbolt [Fools Gold Clubhouse] (2014) Bob Larson Demon Hunter (with Distal) [Trouble & Bass] (2014) Five Fingered Salute [Embassy Recordings] (2013) Hard House Cheer Squad (with Distal) [Luckybeard] (2013) Get Down [Basshead Music] (2012) Remember The Score EP [Well Rounded Individuals] (2012) Big Gulp [Freshmore] (2012) As I Watch It Unravel [Frite Nite] (2011) All Werked Up EP [Well Rounded Individuals] (2011) Remixes Bagarre – Claqu-le (Wheez-ie remix) [Enterprise] (2016) RNBWS – Black (Wheez-ie remix) [Sounds of Sumo] (2015) OL – Save and Protect (Wheez-ie remix) [Loveless Records] (2013) Iamsife – Power of Soul (Wheez-ie remix) [Trenchant Dubs] (2012) Zebra Katz – Winter Titty (Wheez-ie remix) [Senseless Records] (2012) Spooky – Code 9 (Wheez-ie remix) [Hot Mom USA] (2012) Distal – Boss Of The South (Wheez-ie remix 1&2) [Grizzly] (2011) More information here: https://www.discogs.com/artist/692907-DJ-Wheez-ie
