Wes

Having long outgrown his affinity for all things Mousse T and the constraints of Rochdale's finest dancing establishments, Wes has developed impeccable taste and a fine ear for some of the best things in life: House, disco, techno, soul, funk and anything else with a common, underlying theme of being very good. In recent years, Wes has peered over the mixer whilst playing at both the Redlight and a string of Naive Melody parties at Sankeys, keeping the heads firmly nodding and the feet moving in support of the likes of Detroit don Carl Craig, Chicago heavyweight DJ Sneak and Parisian producer I:Cube. More recently, between cultivating the most feeble attempt at ginger designer stubble this side of Prince Harry, Wes has kept the turntables warm at Cutloose parties for, amongst others, Theo Parrish, Metro Area and Mark Seven; fulfilling his adulthood dreams in the process. His childhood dream of being able to scratch 5'6" into his door frame remains a dream.
