Wes is passionate about sharing the music that moves and comforts him. The warmth and curiosity that exude from his personality are evident in his selections. Though his tastes and interests traverse many genres and styles – from disco and percussive house to Cape Verdean funaná and Brazilian samba –, soulful is the common denominator in all of his sets.

However much he loves to stumble upon exciting current artists, Wes remains most eager to discover tracks from earlier decades, and is passionate about uncovering the stories behind them. His knack for storytelling shines on Joy in the Morning, his monthly Monday morning radio show on Rotterdam’s Operator Radio. His desire to connect people through music is palpable in his and Vasco’s bi-monthly club night Weerd, a staple in Utrecht’s nightlife scene.

Alongside venues in various cities across the Netherlands, his resume includes festivals like Lowlands, Down the Rabbit Hole, Orbit, Drift and Wildeburg. Whether it's on a sweaty dance floor or through the digital airwaves of online radio, Wes' selections will surely lift you up too.

Borshch is a magazine for electronic music on and beyond the dancefloor. Founded in Berlin in 2017, it’s a space to provoke open dialogues and challenge established ideas about making, listening, and dancing to music. Through physical and digital formats, Borshch discusses the artistic, social, and political impact of electronic music on contemporary culture in and outside the club settings. The print edition of the magazine is published biannually.

Simon Aksenfeld, known as For Future's
sake and Avenue F, Is a quintessential New Yorker and an influential figure in the city's dance music scene. Ukrainian born and New York raised, Aksenfeld studied at the prominent Broadway Dance Center, training as a professional ballroom dancer, and later would go on to learn alongside legendary house dancers Ejoe and Brian Green. This is where his love for house music began to take shape. 

Simon is one of New York City's most versatile vinyl only DJs, showmen, and storytellers, recognized by Spiritual Mental Physical NYC as an "exceptional talent and musical magician". seamlessly blending genres together, and knowing exactly when to amp up, pull back, and cruise control the energy of a room into the wee hours of the night. 

A respected crate digger and artful music curator, Simon can be found at the renowned Al Record Shop during the week, where he helms the store's famed dance music section (if you're lucky you may catch him spinning in the back when you pop by). 

Along with the former mentioned For Future's Sake credits his sound signature to his biggest musical influences, including legends Theo Parrish, Danny Krivit, DJ Harvey, Danny Tenaglia, and Toshi.
