Home of CHÉ WAX / GUEVARISM / MR CRYPTIC

"Producer, DJ and white label from Liverpool who has played festivals such as We Out Here, Beatherder, and Gottwood, having forged his own sound through exploring the psychedelic outskirts of genres like bruk and jazz-funk, to disco-dub and 80s boogie, electro-funk and acid-house, with releases on labels such as Fabric, Atjazz, Erbium, Heavenly, and Rough Trade, Dance Regular, and Running Back.

Born in a council estate of Norris Green, Liverpool, a self-taught multi-instrumentalist and producer with various recording projects from a very young age, Ché’s DJ career began parallel to playing in the local hip-hop bands Nutribe and Rubber Dub, when he dropped out from college and got into mixing jungle and dub sounds. He attended a short course in the Motor Museum recording studio on Lark Lane with the legendary dub-reggae producer Scientist which he said changed his whole output on mixing music. Then at the age of 18 secured a weekly residency at the iconic Jacaranda after winning a competition. The Jac basement was famous for being where The Beatles first played a gig under that name (as owned by their manager Alan Williams). In the Jac he spun a diverse mix of soul, reggae, punk, and funk, to the late night dancing crowd, 2am - 6am every Saturday.

Ché's eclecticism has led to collaborations with major artists in the pop world, playing a key role in the early development of chart-topping band Confidence Man, whilst keeping it real under various other aliases producing with broken beat legends Sticky Dub and EVM128. Ché has played alongside the likes of Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy, Alexander Nut, and Radioactive Man, at seriously underground secret locations across Europe - including Parisian warehouse raves, Amsterdam coffeeshops, and London hifi clubs.

Looking for a deeper and more expressive artistic outlet to showcase and collaborate with the underground arts scene in 2018, he founded the invite-only secret location warehouse party “Keep It Cryptic,” taking over derelict spaces all over the country, booking artists from all over the country, leading him later to curating club nights and festival takeovers with Red Bull, including at We Out Here Festival. This also took him to hosting a radio show with Melodic Distraction, which has lead to spots on stations up and down the country including NTS, Balami, Threads, and SVARA.

It was his Indian electro-dub edit of Charanjit Singh’s 'Raga Bhairav' that caught the attention of BBC Radio 1’s Jay Carder, leading to a signing with Erbium Records and the release of his Guerrilla Warfare EP under his Guevarism alias in 2023. He released his edit of 'Raga' as a vinyl-only white label 'Ché Wax Vol 1' the following year with a new 303-infused rework of the 60s psychedelic track 'Love Buzz' by Shocking Blue, which has gained serious respect and recognition in a very short space of time, going straight to number 1 on Juno’s Electro chart in 2024. The record was played by Seth Troxler at Fabric in 2025, as well as receiving support from Ruf Dug, Make A Dance, De La Reef, and Milly On Air.

As well as writing, remixing and producing with Confidence Man, he has also along the way worked with his father Greg Wilson, for Gabriels, Jarvis Cocker, Happy Mondays, and Simply Red, contributing to releases on prestigious labels like Fabric Records, Heavenly Recordings, and Rough Trade."
