Some DJ mixes stay safely inside one genre. Wez G Sessions was never interested in doing that.
Across the series, house, hip-hop, reggae, rock, pop, disco, chillout and music from around the world all share the same space. A familiar classic might sit beside an underground dance record, a punk track, a Brazilian groove or one of Wez G’s own studio creations. The connection is not a genre label. It is the feeling that one great record can lead naturally to another.
That open-minded approach makes Wez G Sessions more than a collection of podcasts. The series is a musical journey through the records, places and experiences that have shaped Wez G as a DJ.
A lifetime of music beyond the obvious
Wez G has been DJing since 1995, playing clubs across the UK and performing as far afield as Sweden, Tahiti and New Zealand. That history is rooted in dance music, but the Sessions reveal a much wider record collection.
The archive reaches Episode 22, with each hour offering a different route through Wez G’s musical world. There are appearances from artists including Groove Armada, New Order, Bob Marley, The KLF, Wu-Tang Clan, Kate Bush, Johnny Cash, Primal Scream, Amy Winehouse, Chic, Beastie Boys and The Stone Roses. Those names only begin to show the range involved.
This is not variety for its own sake. The selections reflect how people actually experience music. A listener can love acid house, reggae, indie, soul and hip-hop without feeling the need to choose between them. Wez G Sessions celebrates that freedom.
Every episode has its own character
Although eclecticism runs through the whole series, individual episodes often develop a recognisable mood or theme.
Episode 13 looks towards the musical history of The Loft. Episode 14 leans into hip-hop, while Episode 15 brings guitarist Megman into the studio to contribute his own choices. Episode 18 has a particularly global and exotic flavour, and Episode 19 moves confidently from dance music to punk rock and beyond.
Elsewhere, the programmes travel between reggae, eighties pop, rap, disco, psychedelia, electronica and deeper late-night sounds. Episodes can feel joyful, surprising, reflective or gloriously unpredictable—but they always sound personally selected.
That personality matters. A good session should not resemble a playlist assembled by an algorithm. It should carry the taste of the person behind it. You should be able to hear curiosity, memory and instinct in the order of the records.
The art of joining unlikely records
Placing different genres together is easy. Making them belong together is the real craft.
A successful transition is not always about matching tempo. Sometimes the link is a bassline, a vocal, an atmosphere or a shared emotional weight. One record can answer a question raised by the previous one, even when the two come from completely different musical worlds.
That is where Wez G’s experience as a club DJ becomes important. Decades spent reading rooms and shaping dancefloors develop an instinct for timing. The Sessions bring that instinct into a listening format, allowing the music to breathe while keeping the hour moving forward.
The result feels less like a stack of unrelated favourites and more like a conversation between records.
Original productions inside the wider story
Wez G Sessions also created room for original studio work and remixes. Episode 17, for example, includes the Flapsandwich rerub of Stakker’s “Humanoid”, while Episode 22 features one of Wez G’s latest remix efforts from the period.
These appearances give listeners a glimpse of how DJing and production feed one another. Every unusual rhythm, memorable arrangement and unexpected transition can become a new creative idea. In turn, original productions return to the mix carrying something learned from all the music surrounding them.
The series therefore documents more than musical taste. It captures an artist continually listening, experimenting and developing.
Why the Sessions are worth revisiting
Music moves quickly, but a carefully assembled session does not lose its purpose when the release dates become older. If anything, time makes the combinations more interesting.
Returning to the archive can uncover a forgotten favourite, introduce an artist you missed or remind you that listening does not need to be controlled by categories. These episodes work during a journey, an afternoon at home, a late night or any hour when you want somebody else to take care of the selection.
They also preserve a simple but valuable part of DJ culture: one person sharing records because they believe those records deserve to be heard together.
Start exploring the Wez G Sessions
There is no single correct place to begin. Choose an episode because you recognise one artist in the tracklist, because its theme catches your attention or simply because its number feels right. Then let the less familiar records do their work.
That sense of discovery is the heart of Wez G Sessions. The series crosses borders between genres, decades and countries while remaining unmistakably personal.
Explore the complete Wez G Sessions archive, turn up the volume and enjoy the journey.
