Seb Wheeler

Seb Wheeler has worked at the cutting-edge of music and digital for over a decade, leading global campaigns for artists, record labels and media brands such as The Chemical Brothers, Defected and Mixmag. He has a fierce passion for underground club music and is the curator and resident DJ of Tropical Waste, the cult club night, radio show and music blog. He also writes the Waste Mail and Digital Waste newsletters, which focus on electronic music and digital media respectively. In 2017 Seb suffered a sudden ear injury while he was sleeping, leaving him with severe hearing loss and extreme tinnitus in his right ear, as well as a new, unexpected relationship with music and club spaces. He has since learned to live with hearing loss and tinnitus and seeks to support other people in the same situation, having been the Guest Editor of Mixmag's Tinnitus Awareness Week in 2024.
