Artist Profile
DJ Wesley
DJ Wesley is a club DJ, producer/musician, radio program director, and writer based
in Denver, Colorado, with a passion for progressive and electro house music. He
also enjoys and spins mainstream club music (pop remixes), filter house, and even
techno and trance. Within any genre, Wes typically embraces music that is high-energy,
yet melodic and vocal, wanting people to enjoy the music itself as much as they
enjoy dancing to it.
As a DJ, Wes performs at dance clubs, private parties and events, and on Internet
radio. With a smooth, radio-friendly voice, Wes often brings something a little
different to the mix, stoking the crowd during club sets, keeping things moving
while emceeing events, or just generally hamming it up and entertaining a crowd.
Wes has, as a producer and musician, written dozens of songs over the years, from
jazz piano compositions in the style of old standards, to ambient electronic pieces,
and various steps in between. A keyboardist and vocalist, Wes is today focusing
on production and remix projects that are in the house music genre, in all its various
forms. Under the moniker Wesley King, Wes most recently completed a remix for the legendary
Carol Hahn, Take Me and Dance, released in September 2009 (featured in the player
above). He's currently at work
on a remix for a New York based vocalist (details coming soon), as well as a pair of tracks
to be released under his own name.
Wes is the Program Director for
iDanceRadio.fm, an Internet radio station launched in early 2009, with a
focus on providing more variety in song choices and dance music styles than existing
stations offer. Alongside many of the country's top DJs, Wes has his own weekly
mixshow on the station, where he performs live every Friday night.
As a writer, Wes blogs regularly about dance music and the dance music industry
at blog.djwesley.com. As
a contributor to DJ Times magazine, Wes enjoys evaluating and writing about some
of the latest high-tech toys for DJs and producers. Wes also serves as media and
technology director for San Francisco-based CAPP Records, one of the largest independent
dance music labels in the United States.
