6AM Guest Mix: Wheats

If you’ve stepped into any club over the last year, chances are you’ve heard a Wheats record playing. In a very short space of time, this exciting new artist has gone from bedroom producer and hometown club resident to singed to world-renowned record labels such as Saved, Toolroom, Repopulate Mars, Sola and more, enjoying the support of DJs as varied as Solardo, Alan Fitzpatrick and Calvin Harris.

Originally inspired by his father – a dedicated vinyl collector and a former DJ himself – Wheats had an understanding and passion for the scene before he’d even stepped foot into a nightclub. By the age of 18, he’d successfully secured local gigs in his hometown of Portsmouth, gaining a residency at Love Amplified, and then getting booked at the huge festival in the area, Mutiny.

It was actually here he met New York legend, Kerri Chandler. After listening to Wheats’ demos on the spot, Kerri went on to play two of his tracks in that very set, impressing him so much that Kerri went onto sign him to MadTech. Kerri Chandler still continues to support Wheats and they’ve built up a long-standing relationship since. He was spotted by Toolroom boss Mark Knight from a simple demo submission and as soon as the team heard it, they knew he was going to be a massive success. With tracks like “Kassia”, “Warrior Wall” and “Original Rebel” tearing up dancefloors all over the globe, Wheats continues to impress with every release, showcasing a truly playable big room sound that doesn’t just copy current trends.

“His story is one of determination, hard work and drive. Every single one of his tracks goes off in my sets. He understands the job of these tracks and he just totally gets the label. 2019 is going to be his year”– Mark Knight

From playing the likes of Elrow, Studio 338, Egg LDN, to now as far afield as Miami, Tokyo, Berlin and Montreal, plus this summer’s Ibiza residency for Toolroom at Eden, he’s got serious experience under his belt already, despite having only released music for two years.

Far from being stuck on one idea or genre, Mimetic writes for contemporary dance artists (Carol Brown, Jan Linkens, Lionel Hoche), creates the soundtracks of underground movies by director Lech Kowalsky (D.O.A, East in Paradise…), he is also collaborating with Sigmasix on audiovisual installations.
