My Mixes / Tracks
Wez G - Spooky Rhythm by Wez-GuploadedHaunted House? Well - for want of a better title - I though there was some spooky theme going on in the track titles for this deep and funky mix which explores some of the finer elements of 2011 deep house, building to a crescendo with a classic remake of Superchumbo's Revolution, concluding with one of the finer tracks from Guy J's new 1000 words album. Don't miss out on my old Swedish matey Nibc's nice remix on his own label, Trunkfunk, one to watch out for as it booms out sounds from Berlin. Get with the Spooky Rhythm... http://djwezg.com/djset42spookyrhythm.htmlWez G - True Romance by Wez-GuploadedThe 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 opening classic from A Man Called Adam. Light some candles and slap a nice meal on the table, while tuned into some upfront Wez G house music. http://djwezg.com/djset41trueromance.htmlWez G - Solar Flare by Wez-GuploadedA 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 unusual for this time of year. Whereas others are nipping off to the beach, I decided to stay indoors and record a nice little DJ Mix, full of energy, ideal to get people moving after they've munched all their barbecue burgers. http://djwezg.com/djset40solarflare.htmlWez G - Stroll In The Park by Wez-GuploadedWhen I release a DJ Mix across the internet I picture listeners tuned in on their ipods as they go about their day to day lives, all across the world... For this mix there is a certain mellow ambience and I could see people tuning in as they walk through a nice park, soaking up the natural surroundings while they get into the deep groove I've created. There's lots of funky basslines interspersed with lush vocals and a nice overall floaty feel. Enjoy! ... And watch out for the bears! http://djwezg.com/djset39strollinthepark.htmlWez G - Clear Spring by Wez-GuploadedIt's a bright fresh spring day in Wales and the latest mix is complete. There is a certain European flavour to this one as that is where the freshest sounds in house music are coming from, hence the Alpine scenery in the artwork. From Switzerland's Chris Reece's latest project to the fresh sounds of Kiev's Matan Caspi, this deep and funky groove will take you on a lush journey across the continent's blooming house music landscape. http://djwezg.com/djset38clearspring.htmlWez G - Sweet Tooth by Wez-GuploadedI'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 track, surely one of the greatest vocalists to ever have graced the dancefloors of clubland. The mix begins deep and funky and progresses through to some nice banging beats with a lush vocal finish courtesy of Sharam. Sweet all the way... http://djwezg.com/djset37sweettooth.htmlWez G - Bringing Down The House by Wez-GuploadedA 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 original), also a song by Tricia Lee Kelshall, the vocalist I manage. The mixing is back to normal two decks as I feel that sometimes you lose the flavour of a set by overcomplicating things. Turn up your speakers and Bring Down The House! http://djwezg.com/djset36bringingdownthehouse.htmlWez G - Get Your Groove On by Wez-GuploadedThis is a nice groovy deep house DJ mix. I'm keen to embrace DJ technology and having made the transistion to Traktor I'm trying to push myself to the limits as a creative DJ. I decided to utilise 4 Traktor FX on mix and also use the full four decks available. I synched everything up with two MIDI devices: A Vestax VCM-100 mixer and an AKAI APC-40, custom edited for decks 3&4 and the FX. To do 4 decks at once is quite a challenge and not many can carry it off; Carl Cox, perhaps, being the notable exception. For most of the mix it's only two decks, but on occasion I brave 3 and at one stage (when the Wez G tune is dropped) we have the full four decks playing. Deep House is a style which is quite minimal and works well with a lot going on technically, though I intersperse the deep tunes with some nice housey vocals. It was a challenge to record this and although far from perfect I enjoyed making it. Hope you manage to 'Get Your Groove On!' http://djwezg.com/djset35getyourgrooveon.htmlWez G - Island Hop by Wez-GuploadedA few years ago I went Island hopping in the South Pacific... It's great fun, a perfect paradise... This soundtrack is ideal for lazing away on a yacht, checking into the beaches, diving in coral reefs and catching a bit of surf... OK - It is winter, but in the South Pacific it's always hot and Snow White Winter Chill (my previous chillout mix) was received well so I thought it about time to treat you to some more mellow vibes... There are sounds across the board with Bristol represented by Portishead, Thievery Corporation and Röyksopp among the big guns, and a Chris Rea bootie chucked in also... It hops from a calm 90bpm up to a full flow 132bpm, towards the end. It's a perfect soundtrack to the start of your weekend as you prepare to go out somewhere nice. Tropical Island bliss with Wez G... Keep Hopping! http://djwezg.com/djset34islandhop.htmlWez G - Flying High by Wez-GuploadedAn eagle soaring high above the clouds, blissed out beats ranging around the mountain tops, this mix takes you on a journey through funky and progressive, fresh for 2011. From the soundscape of Dave Seaman's Global Underground Lithuania album to the European master EDX, from Saeed Younan's soundbox to a cunning remix of the Everything But the Girl club classic - Missing, Wez G's Flying High will set you up nicely for the new year ahead.... Enjoy! http://djwezg.com/djset33flyinghigh.htmlWez G - Sunshine and Showers by Wez-GuploadedIt 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 hedonistic range of front room electro and banging house. Summer may have gone but the Wez G podcast will keep the weather warm for you wherever you are as we approach the winter months. http://djwezg.com/djset32sunshineandshowers.htmlWez G - Dark Tripping by Wez-GuploadedYou 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 journey and it flashes all around you as you avoid slipping into the dull blackness of the exterior. Welcome to the world of 'Dark Tripping'. http://djwezg.com/djset31darktripping.htmlWez G - Spaceman Funk by Wez-GuploadedI have visions of space. In my dreams I see other worlds, worlds where club music thrives. Worlds where new technologies abide and beats manifest to deliver the ultimate party to the thronging masses. As I deliver these mixes to the internet universe, I wonder whether my tech dreams are being realised. This month I've gone all-out with new technology and have used Traktor combined with a new Vestax VCM-100 Midi controller. I'm not turning my back on vinyl - NO WAY JOSE. Virtual Mixing with Traktor, however, allows me to air my beatport collection and allows for a different type of DJ creativity with nice tight mixes and lots of creative looping... Stick with the Spaceman Wez G as he delivers some hard-hitting funk using the most up to date weapons systems known to the DJ World. http://djwezg.com/djset30spacemanfunk.htmlWez G - Spinning Around in the Sky by Wez-GuploadedFloat 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, it takes you high. Music is the drug that unites us all and takes us into ecstasy. Fly high and let your head spin to the sounds of Wez G. http://djwezg.com/djset29spinningaroundinthesky.htmlWez G - Snow White Winter Chill by Wez-GuploadedIt's snowing in the UK and that means everything stops. Roads are shut, schools are closed, trains don't run and the shops are full of panic-buyers. This Christmas, I thought I'd slow down like the rest of the snow-swept nation and freeze my turntables with some icy chilled melodies. I didn't feel the need to go above 100bpm so get relaxed, pump up the stereo and keep your eye on the thermometer. Merry Christmas one and all. http://djwezg.com/djset28snowwhitewinterchill.htmlWez G - Shaman of the Tribe by Wez-GuploadedIn ancient times, every tribe had a shaman who was the medecine man and spiritual leader of the community. Often under the influence of locally produced drugs such as Mescaline or Ayahuasca or Iboga, in ecstatic trances, the shaman would bring back from the spiritual world key knowledge that would help his fellow tribesmen. As society developed, so did organised religion and the shamen were locked up and kept away as 'madmen' while priests and vicars served the rulers and books took over from the ancient medecines. In recent times we have seen club culture develop and society has taken an about turn. Banging to the beat of a shamanic drum, DJs have taken the place of the local choirs as people seek to trance out in the company of others in raves and nightclubs. We have gone full circle and today's shaman is the DJ. Welcome to a mix of tribal sounds from the 21st Century. Go into a trance and in your state of bliss remember the ancients... http://djwezg.com/djset27shamanofthetribe.htmlWez G - On The Road by Wez-Guploaded‘… one night we suddenly went mad together again; we went to see Slim Gaillard in a little Frisco nightclub. Slim Gaillard is a tall, thin Negro with big sad eyes who’s always saying ‘Right-orooni’ and ‘How ’bout a little bourbon-arooni.’ In Frisco great eager crowds of young semi-intellectuals sat at his feet and listened to him on the piano, guitar and bongo drums. When he gets warmed up he takes off his undershirt and really goes. He does and says anything that comes into his head. He’ll sing ‘Cement Mixer, Put-ti Put-ti’ and suddenly slow down the beat and brood over his bongos with fingertips barely tapping the skin as everybody leans forward breathlessly to hear; you think he’ll do this for a minute or so, but he goes right on, for as long as an hour, making an imperceptible little noise with the tips of his fingernails, smaller and smaller all the time till you can’t hear it any more and sounds of traffic come in the open door. Then he slowly gets up and takes the mike and says, very slowly, ‘Great-orooni … fine-ovauti … hello-orooni … bourbon-orooni … all-orooni …how are the boys in the front row making out with their girls-orooni … orooni … vauti … oroonirooni …” 'Jack Kerouac' in "On The Road". Kerouac was part of the Beat Generation, a group of poets and writers who toured 1950s America. My old boss used to call me a 'Beatnik' and in a way I am a bit of a modern day hippy. DJs are today's beat generation and this mix suggests a journey, so hop on your bike, in your car, on your plane, boat or helicopter and turn on, tune in and drop out... http://djwezg.com/djset26ontheroad.htmlWez G - Jetstream Psychosis by Wez-GuploadedIt's easy to fly into the clouds and I seem to spend half my life dreaming in the Jetstream. There's been a break in the podcast so here it is back and mad as ever to steer you like a rocket through the atmosphere on a psychotic journey of house music. Starting with some mellow Bent classics the mix steers into some first class progressive beats. Enjoy the Jetstream Psychosis... http://djwezg.com/djset25jetstreampsychosis.htmlWez G - Ten Foot Tahitian by Wez-GuploadedThis is a blast from the past. I recorded it in November 2005 though it contains tracks from much earlier. I named the mix after the massive waves that roll into Tahiti which lays claim to being the place where surfing began. It recreates part of the six hour set I did when I played at Tikisoft in Papeete, the capital of French Polynesia. It was a perfect day. The sun was shining. I went swimming with the sharks and stingrays in the morning and then got stuck into the island's decks for a marathon set. The mix is summery and reflects the sounds of one of the earth's best untouched paradises. House Music. It's a global groove... http://djwezg.com/djset24tenfoottahitian.htmlWez G - Shufflin' It Up by Wez-GuploadedThis mix is a little different to usual. I've been having some Ableton lessons from DirtBox Crew ( http://artist.to/dirtboxcrew ) who play Spiral Tekno & Drum n Bass. I thought it would be nice to whack one of their tunes into the podcast... Trouble is - I usually play about 130bpm house and their music is 180bpm, so there's a few pitch shifts in this mix. Goes from house to Techno to drum n bass and ends with some nice old skool hardcore. At Shuffle ( http://groups.to/shuffle ) we try to be musically openminded and hate the pigeon-holing and stuck-up-yer-arse attitude that is all too prevalent in the music industry. So here you have Wez G, Shufflin' It Up. Hope you enjoy! http://djwezg.com/djset23shufflinitup.html
