Biogs:
DJ Wes: Started his musical career playing drums in a death metal band (4 years) and then a punk band (6 years). Got fed up of lugging flight cases around and invested in a laptop and some software to make some different music. Started DJing on mates decks around 1999 and made his debut DJ performance in 2001 playing electronica. Since then he’s gone on to play at several multimedia nights and experimental film nights as well as also playing at local clubs and various nights in and around London including MultiVitamins, Dust Bar and the Fluid Bar. In 2006 he started the Telephasic Workshop event in Southend with DJ Cliff to listen and promote quality electronic music.
DJ Cliff: Also started his musical career in a punk band playing guitar. This lasted a few years with a couple of notable gigs including one at the Rock Gardens in Covent Garden. When the rest of the band got fed up with the lack of Cliffs guitar skills he got sacked. After that he got into the big beat scene around '96 and got playing on his mates decks at Brighton Uni. After getting a record collection going and learning to mix (just about) he started djing at house parties as much as he could. Around 97 he also started to produce music with a mate and they released a track entitled "Light 'em up scratch 'em up" on the album Primordial Soup on Rehab Records. The track was picked up by Beechwood Music and featured on the album Essential BigBeat. Ever since then, Cliff's been producing music and has recently got back into deejaying with his pal Wes.
