Bio

Hi allI'm an Ol' school DJ and producer from the nineties when i made six house tracks and Dj'd in many well known clubs in London.My musical Influence comes from playing soul and rare groove tunes when i was a teenager then the Acid House scene took the UK by storm in the late eighties and top producers such as Joey Negro,Dave Morales and Frankie Knuckles etc started producing house music with a soulful feel to it and Soulful house music was born but didn't really take off in the mainstream house scene.I wrote and produced 5 records in the late nineties under the name of West 1 and a sixth,a speedgarage track under the name of BMW with two other colleagues(Butts,Menzie,West,hence the BMW).I also Dj'd at a variety of London clubs including Pacha,Legends,Ministry of Sound VIP room,Venom(as it was called then)and many others.Around 2006/2007 I dj'd on pirate radio stations including SelectUK,993.com and still do guest appearances on www.urbankronix.co.ukAn old friend of mine started nagging me a couple of years ago to blow the dust off of my Technics 1200's and get back into djing and producing.I'm pretty new to House-Mixes.com although I joined just over a year ago so most of my mixes are on www.soundcloud.com/the-dj-westy.I've got around 15 mixes to upload here as well as some new mixes coming up.I've also started producing Soulful House tracks with Reason 7 so watch this space!!!!!.As well as the obvious 2 decks and a mixer,I use Serrato SL4 with digital vinyl so i can play my digital downloads straight through the Technics.Amazing technology,beats carry a box full of vinyl everywhere you go!Ok,that's a little insight about me,just turn up the volume and I hope you enjoy my mixes:-)Yours TrulyDJ Westy(Chris)
