Hi allI'm an Ol' school DJ and producer from the nineties when i made six house tracks and Dj'd in many well known clubs in London.My musical Influence comes from playing soul and rare groove tunes when i was a teenager then the Acid House scene took the UK by storm in the late eighties and top producers such as Joey Negro,Dave Morales and Frankie Knuckles etc started producing house music with a soulful feel to it and Soulful house music was born but didn't really take off in the mainstream house scene.I wrote and produced 5 records in the late nineties under the name of West 1 and a sixth,a speedgarage track under the name of BMW with two other colleagues(Butts,Menzie,West,hence the BMW).I also Dj'd at a variety of London clubs including Pacha,Legends,Ministry of Sound VIP room,Venom(as it was called then)and many others.Around 2006/2007 I dj'd on pirate radio stations including SelectUK,993.com and still do guest appearances on www.urbankronix.co.ukAn old friend of mine started nagging me a couple of years ago to blow the dust off of my Technics 1200's and get back into djing and producing.I'm pretty new to House-Mixes.com although I joined just over a year ago so most of my mixes are on www.soundcloud.com/the-dj-westy.I've got around 15 mixes to upload here as well as some new mixes coming up.I've also started producing Soulful House tracks with Reason 7 so watch this space!!!!!.As well as the obvious 2 decks and a mixer,I use Serrato SL4 with digital vinyl so i can play my digital downloads straight through the Technics.Amazing technology,beats carry a box full of vinyl everywhere you go!Ok,that's a little insight about me,just turn up the volume and I hope you enjoy my mixes:-)Yours TrulyDJ Westy(Chris) www.soundcloud.com/the-dj-westy

As a performing DJ, Clipper has been described in many ways. But being creative, innovative & cutting edge are the 3 of the most common words used to describe Clipper’s style. And whilst him being at the vocal point of his career, he continues to make a name for himself by keeping on top and staying ahead of his game, not only in his choice of music, but with the way he likes to play it. Possessing the capabilities of manipulating his crowd through sound, Clipper maintains his form through his mixing. More enjoying his captivate ways of making two tracks sound like one whole remix with relative breaks & vocals, to the gut wrenching sounds of the Sub Bass & Synth’s. Never afraid to go too deep, his emotive musical selections are his own therapy. Having grown up on his heritage’s love for reggae music and Dub, all which became infused with his love for House music,Clipper ended up with quite a mixed spectrum of musical influence. Today, this translates into his sets where he has picked apart and blended together all the pieces of these styles of music that he loves best: beautiful synth and bass work, ethereal backdrops, brooding bass lines and occasional vocal hooks which all feature on top of a pronounced foot-shuffling House beats. With over a decades worth of experience under his belt, he remains an open minded person with more than a great sense of direction and a continuous desire to learn new methods. He strives to reflect perfection in his work and has dedicated more than 100% of his time attaining his goals. His initial ambitions has taken him a very long way in the industry and his passion and love for it all keeps on growing. His work ethic combined with his unique style and character along with his taste in music makes him one DJ to keep your eye on in the future.

House Is Life and i am addicted Been collecting music for 36 years and very proud of my vinyl collection from the 80's/90's. In my opinion the 80's was the best time for music and left me inspired by the great musicians and artists who left a legacy behind and music is still influenced by those heroes. Not afraid to experiment with sounds and always searching the globe for something a little different, and if recent releases don't cater for my needs, then there is always the archives. My Listening Genre's - House, Soulful House, Deep House, Afro House, Jazz House, Latin House, Tribal House, Lounge, Nu-Jazz, Soul, RNB, D&B, Garage, 2 Step. Music has always been my pastime and enjoyed the occasional gigs and live sets, but never really took my passion to the next level. Life is kinda hectic and faded out of the scene for a considerable time but now back to basics doing what i enjoy, pretty serious about my music and hope that i can spread some joy along the way...love peace and prosperity to all. I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music. Peace Love N Respect Kaleem.
