What’s the worst club you’ve ever been to?
I played a club inn Tenerife which was abysmal. It was like an 18–30s place with people doing bucket shots at the bar and wet T-shirt competitions.
What’s been your worst job?
When I was 14 I worked in a butchers. I lasted three days.
How do you describe what you do to someone who doesn’t know you?
I tell people I run a record label. I don’t like saying I’m a DJ as it opens up a world of requests.
Have you ever been arrested?
When I was a kid, for climbing on roofs. We were accused of breaking into a jewellers, which we didn’t.
What’s the best record ever made?
‘The End’ by The Doors. When I listen to it I get lost, and for me that’s what music is all about: being locked into it.
What’s the coolest thing in your house?
My poker table. I play a lot with my mates on a weeknight.
Who’s your all-time hero and why?
Jim Morrison. I’m a big, big fan of The Doors, mainly because of his no-fear attitude; he didn’t give a shit.
What do you collect?
Wine. I wouldn’t call myself a connoisseur but I know what I like, and I know a little bit about it. The most expensive bottle I’ve ever drunk was 800 Euros.
What’s your vice?
A combination of vodka and being afraid to go to bed.
What were you doing at 2pm last Sunday afternoon?
I played at Shine in Belfast, so I was on the flight back on Sunday afternoon.
What’s your answer to everything?
No!
On a scale of one to 10, how good are you in the sack?
I’d give myself a zero because there’s no way I’m going to say I’m a ten and ?a total stallion.
What’s your most prized possession that you’ve still got from when you were a kid?
The only thing I still have is my records; that’s all I really had when I was younger.
Have you ever had a homosexual experience?
I haven’t, no; why? You offering?
What was your last treat for yourself?
It was my new studio. I changed my wine cellar in the house and fitted in a soundproof studio, the whole works.
What do you spend your money on?
Properties. I save up my money, get enough for a deposit and lump it down on a property somewhere. I’m 36 so I’ve got about 10 years left touring; I’ll pass the label onto my brothers and this is like my pension.
What’s your drug of choice?
I’ll be honest: MDMA.
What can’t you live without?
I can’t live without my heart.
Do you have a recurring dream?
I have the same one where I’m sitting at the edge of a warehouse dancefloor in 1989 and I’m watching people dance.
What would you change about yourself if you could?
I wouldn’t change a thing, really. My height only bothers me if I stand next to Andy from Groove Armada.
What’s the worst item of clothing you’ve ever worn?
I use to wear dungarees and a hooded top that was all psychedelic and fucked up colours, and loafer Kickers.
If you had a Tardis, what time would you go back to?
The Sixties, I reckon. It was a time when everything was new and exciting. People smoking and drinking – people were free and didn’t have the government clamping down.
What’s your lamest claim to fame?
Do you remember the TV programme Emu’s World? I danced on that when I was a kid, wearing blue or green tights.

Interview by Nick Stevenson. Originally published in Mixmag in February 2010.
What did you want to be when you grew up?
Something cool like an astronaut. I still got a chance. You gotta start somewhere.
What’s the worst club you’ve ever been to?
I’ve been to some baile funk parties in Rio that were full of gangsters, guns and children running around. It’s always cool, but there’s a lot of pressure you feel at these parties. It’s uneasy, but it’s always exciting.
What’s been your worst job?
Working at Subway making sandwiches. I had the graveyard shift when all the crack-heads would come in.
What are you obsessed with?
Sleep! [He was asleep when we rang]
And what do you hate right now?
Waking up!
How would you introduce yourself to someone who’d never heard of you?
‘Hi, my name is Wes. Hey, I have this record label – you should buy some ?of our records.’
When and where were you happiest?
On my 29th birthday two days ago. I was in New Orleans, I rode a horse, I saw Soldier Boy – it was fun, people pinned money on me with safety pins.
Have you been arrested? What for?
Four times, always for trespassing. It’s the lamest excuse they can give you for being arrested. If they wanna make an example of you, you get trespassing which is the weakest fucking thing. They just want to put you in jail for the night so you can pay bail in the morning. I got arrested once for parking tickets and when it went to court I was down for assault cause I pushed the officer in the jail – that’s what he said, anyway.
What’s the best record ever made?
I like ‘Astral Weeks’ by Van Morrison. It’s a record I got when I was starting to get into music. It just hit me. I like the all-round vibe of it, I guess.
What’s the coolest thing in your house?
I’ve found paperwork from hundreds of years ago. There’s an ad from 1840 in my building which says, ‘Come see the native American Indian guy, he’s selling magic potions!’ That’s pretty cool.
Who’s your all-time hero and why?
Obama. It’s just crazy that we elect the president that gives you a little faith in America. It was looking kind of bleak for us for a while.
What do you collect – apart from records?
Girls’ numbers.
What were you doing at 2pm last Sunday afternoon?
I was jumping a fence to see Soldier Boy perform at a football stadium at New Orleans. I didn’t have a
Who was your first love and what happened?
Her name was Elizabeth, I was six, my parents moved and we broke up. There was a girl in the new city though. I got through it.
On a scale of one to 10, how good are you in the sack?
20. [Thinks for a bit] …that was so lame. Just put zero.
What’s your most prized possession that you’ve still got from when you were a kid?
My skateboard. I was terrible.
Have you ever had a homosexual experience?
Wow – deep! I guess everybody has one at some point, even if it’s not physical. ?I dunno – that’s pretty hardcore.
What do you spend your money on?
I don’t, I put it in jelly jars in my back yard.
What was your last big treat?
I needed to go from New Orleans to Atlanta but I missed the tour bus, so I bought myself a flight after hitching a lift to the airport.
What’s your drug of choice?
Aspirin.
What can’t you live without?
Sunshine.
Do you have a recurring dream?
Yeah, that alligators are eating my family and I gotta run from them and fight them. Every night I dream about alligators one way or another.
What would you change about yourself if you could?
I’d erase my attention deficit disorder. My ADD is horrifyingly bad. When I’m in the studio I start 700 beats every day. To finish one takes me like a month.
What’s the worst item of clothing you’ve ever worn?
Skidz – they’re these things you wear when you’re growing up down south. They’re like plaid overalls.
If you had a Tardis, what time would you go back to?
I’d go back 2000 years and hang out with Jesus.
What’s your lamest claim to fame?
My success in DJing. It’s all a fluke!
