I’ve already read a Matthew Collin book – This is Serbia Calling – so I was chuffed when I stumbled upon this work, a history of UK dance music culture. As a DJ and Promoter for 24 years I’m quite

Review: Mister Good Times by Norman Jay MBE
I was lucky enough to be a warm up DJ for Norman Jay back in the 1990s in The Cross Nightclub, London and I think I was billed on a couple of other events with him. He was a great

I’ve been in discussions the past 48 hours with CN Williams, head of Swansea-based electronic music label, Reelhouse Records. Clifford has kindly agreed to sign several forthcoming Wez G releases… I had a busy week last week, with several tracks

Dolphin Deep (Chillout)
Time for another mix in the Wez G chillout series. It’s a beaming hot summer and it’s always nice to get some fresh, sunny tunes to while away the time… This mix goes a little more four-four than usual and

Head Alchemy
I felt like a bit of a change, a bit of an up-tempo feel to the mix to warm those toes in the murky winter weather… I’d recently put together a nice acid house feeling dub for a Brazilian vocalist

Blissful thinking, a mind of changing images, this floaty deep house and bassy mix will have your head bouncing around as it whisks you on a journey of the freshest house cuts. I’ve aimed for funk and groove, perfect for
Continue readingOfficial Wez G website is revamped and relaunched
I spent a hectic three days at the end of last week rebuilding my main website. The old one looked rather dated and was a bit of a nightmare to update. It didn’t perform particularly well SEO wise and was
Continue readingPunky Funky
Electronic dance music enthusiasts are the modern day punks. Electronic music represents youth culture and the stuff top DJs hammer out in wild night clubs to glammed up audiences is about as punky as it’s gotten since the seventies. This

The phoenix is a mythical sacred fire bird. It is described as a bird with a colorful plumage and a tail of gold and scarlet (or purple, blue, and green according to some legends). It has also been described as

There’s been a bit of a delay in getting this latest mix together as I’ve been busy enhancing the Wez G studio, spending over £4000 on it in the past month… I’ve been learning how to use all the new

Well – It’s been a busy week… My new Native Instruments Maschine turned up and I’ve been busy learning that – the aim is to develop my digital DJing to incorporate Maschine eventually and it should certainly revolutionise the Wez
Continue readingAlien Abduction
A few years ago I underwent an Ayahuasca session and was induced into the world of shamanism. It was great except for the plant taking complete control of your body and mind proved a bit daunting around six months later

Music is a great tool for expression. The music artist takes you on a journey,a rollercoaster ride of feelings and emotion. Descartes said ‘Cogito Ergo Sum’ – ‘I think, therefore I am’. The musician thinks and then performs and his

Hot, sweaty city nights. The Urban Heat Island warms up the landmass and where to go but dancing in the smog-laced street, unless you happen to house it up in your nearest club. Hot In The City is a deep,

Back in my (younger) clubbing days I can remember watching a drug awareness video. They put a load of rats in a box, gave some of them speed which caused them to run around crazily hyperactive. The ones they gave
Continue readingGhost In The Bed
Mixing this haunted house made me think of a ghost under the covers with me. Twisted tech with minimal vocals, the mix builds to a crescendo with an old reworked classic, Jaydee – Plastic Dreams, which was one of my
Continue readingJack Attack
Jacking your body has always been a part of house music and this mix has a few ‘Jack’ references. My own interpretation of the required picture and actual mix name comes from one of my greatest Christmas presents back in
Continue readingLittle Disco Biscuit
The best time for dance music in my opinion was the early 1990s. It was the heyday of the Rave Scene and dancefloors were packed with sky high dancing bods. The reason I like this period is not that the

It’s been a long summer and there’s been a break in my regular mixes. Anyway I’m back with a bang and keen to ‘Free The Planet’. Watching the news here in the UK over the past year or so and

The songs included on this mix seemed to me to have a lovey dovey theme and feel so hence the title ‘True Romance’. Deep and funky, it flows nicely, with stand out tracks from Glimpse and Vincenzo and obviously the

A solar flare is a sudden brightening observed over the Sun surface, which is interpreted as a release of a massive amount of energy. Here in the UK we are experiencing a great deal of sunshine and warmth which is

I’ve been munching fruit Menthos all week – can’t get enough of them so a sweet theme seemed appropriate, that and the first two songs are about sweets, including a great remix of the eagerly anticipated new Billie Ray Martin

A journey through house, from disco and deep through to upfront prog and breakbeat. This is a mix I was excited to do as I managed to fit in three of my own productions (a bootleg, a remix and an

It is September already and the summer is almost gone… Sunshine and Showers preside. This rainbow mix of house flavors begins with some fairly light breezy Italian House and simmers to the boil via lush tribal sounds to a boiling

You are on the dancefloor, trapped in a tunnel of light… The swirls guide you on your way but to the outside of the light all is dark… A sea of graves, desolate. You need the light to continue your

Float off into some loopy tech here as I guide you on a UFO’s journey through the house music galaxy. As a DJ and indeed on the dancefloor it is often difficult to stay grounded. The Music Lifts you Up,
