2023 has been a colossal year for Wuki that saw him release two of the most played DJ records in the world, “Edge of Seventeen” and “To Be Real (ft. Cheryl Lynn).” After years of grinding on the touring circuit, Wuki has become one of the most talked about names in the global dance music scene.
“Sunshine (My Girl)” is a flawless house flip of The Temptations’ 1965 hit, which will undeniably become his biggest release to date. The song delivers another chapter for Wuki’s unique brand of reworking classics established in his TikTok viral series, ‘Beats I Can’t Release,’ now beats he CAN release!
“Sunshine (My Girl)” is already getting spun out by the world’s biggest DJs including, FISHER, Tchami, Martin Garrix, Steve Aoki, Oliver Heldens, Hardwell, Diplo, Tiësto, Don Diablo, Armin van Buuren, Chris Lake, Cedric Gervais, and more.
The success of Wuki’s past two global Pop-sampled smashes cannot be understated, with “Edge of Seventeen” achieving over 75MM+ DSP streams globally, landing support from the likes of BBC Radio 1, Capital Dance, KISS UK, and notable DJs such as Tiësto, Martin Garrix, The Chainsmokers, & Diplo and becoming a Peloton favorite, playing in 500+ classes. “To Be Real” with Lee Foss is not only a fan favorite, but also highly celebrated by industry takemakers including BBC Radio 1, Capital Dance and Kiss FM in the UK, while being supported by global hitmakers such as ACRAZE, Alison Wonderland, Zeds Dead, Afrojack, John Summit, Oliver Heldens, amongst others. Both records received tremendous editorial support across DSPs — including placements in New Music Friday, mint, Beast Mode, Massive Dance Hits, Housewerk, Club Hits 2023, Bangers, Dance Rising, Operator, and more.
In 2023, Wuki embarked on “The Edge” Tour with stops across the US, Canada, Japan, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, and more. Wuki has performed at every major festival from Coachella to Ultra Music Festival to EDC Las Vegas, and is gearing up for HARD Summer Music Festival this August in Los Angeles.
