Vasco | Operator Radio | 13 October 2023

Fleur du Bonheur digs into the deep corners of the disco sound. Ranging between funk, boogie, disco and house, she mostly collects records from the late 70’s and early 80’s. As she loves the combo of groovy bass-lines, strong beats, heavy guitars, and luscious vocals, her DJ sets showcase soulful sounds with powerful, hypnotic grooves and freaky edges. Bonheur is known for sharing music from heart and hands and her sheer sense of joy has the power to uplift the energy in the room. So fasten your seatbelts and get ready for disco take off!

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.
