Well Being is a DJ and producer dedicated to exploring the fringes of house, techno, and experimental electronics. Guided by a deep love for the ethereal and the obscure, Well Being digs beneath the surface to unearth hidden gems, weaving them into sets and productions that challenge convention while keeping dancefloors moving.

Rooted in the spirit of classic '90s underground culture yet unafraid to wander into uncharted territory, Well Being crafts soundscapes that blur genre lines, pulling listeners into unexpected moods and textures. Whether behind the decks or in the studio, the goal remains the same: to connect through music that feels raw, rare, and real.



By embracing oddities and outliers, Well Being carves a unique sonic identity — one that turns obscurity into community and transforms leftfield sounds into moments of shared energy.

RND 140 - Well Being

Vocalist and creatively bankrupt millenial makes cybergrind/industrial metal and remixes music that belongs nowhere near the Juggalo world with Insane Clown Posse.

90s/00s raver and electronic music fanatic. Originally from London, now living in the NW of England.

Tinnitus sadly brought a premature end to my vinyl DJing and clubbing days, but I still love discovering and mixing music.
