SHERELLE
about the artist
SHERELLE is the champion of high speed dance music who has led a new generation of club kids to tempos of 160bpm and beyond.
Having toured the world twice over and ticked off the Professional DJ bucket list in the blink of an eye (Essential Mix – check! Boiler Room sets amassing millions of views – check! Co-sign from the late, great Virgil Abloh – check!), SHERELLE is entering a new era of artistry with the release of her debut album, With A Vengeance.

Having toured the world twice over and ticked off the Professional DJ bucket list in the blink of an eye (Essential Mix – check! Boiler Room sets amassing millions of views – check! Co-sign from the late, great Virgil Abloh – check!), SHERELLE is entering a new era of artistry with the release of her debut album, With A Vengeance.
Made across 2024 between London and Amsterdam, With A Vengeance (or WAV for short) is the sound of uptempo catharsis, of SHERELLE making sense of a turbulent and difficult moment in time in her personal life. Determined to write one track a day, the studio became a safe space for SHERELLE to channel anger and feelings of betrayal, her hard and fast club tracks turning darkness into the cerebral joy of overcoming adversity. From those intense daily writing sessions has emerged a sharp, finely-crafted 10-track LP that is powered by fierce feminine energy and reflects the hard/soft and light/dark dualities of the dancefloor and life itself.
With A Vengeance is also a rally cry for the 160 scene, designed to push the tempo in new, exciting and as yet undiscovered directions. Inspired by SHERELLE's foundational influences such as Kode9, Scratch DVA, Machinedrum, Lone and SBTRKT as well as the soundsystem-shaking groove of grime's R&G sub genre, the album is designed to change perceptions of what 160 can be. But don't get it twisted: this isn't a concept album. WAV is for the dancefloor, delivering shades of London, New York, Detroit and Chicago in ways that are guaranteed to raise gun finger salutes.
SHERELLE was of course forged in the heat of real club culture and she continues to wear her love of the underground on her sleeve with SHERELLELAND, the recession-busting club night that she's been touring across the UK and Europe that has unannounced line-ups and £10 tickets for her dedicated army of "bocats on a budget." These raves focus on the music, the friendship and the pure dancefloor energy of what a real night out should be. Heat, sweat and screwfaces guaranteed.
Alongside her debut album, 2025 also sees the biggest SHERELLELAND yet, taking over London's historic Roundhouse venue on April 11. The artwork styles SHERELLE as a graceful heavyweight boxer and the event itself nods to Muhammed Ali and George Foreman's legendary Rumble In The Jungle, complete with real life boxing ring and soundclash sonics.
Behind the scenes, SHERELLE's BEAUTIFUL project continues to empower Black and LGBTQI artists, with over 120 musicians having had access to the BEAUTIFUL studio in London, as per SHERELLE's commitment to ownership, authorship and grassroots community in the music industry.
