APECAST027 - WESTY by Ape-X published on 2022-01-04T11:33:06Z As we celebrate our birthday this month, it seemed fitting to invite one of our beloved family members to kick off the first APECAST of 2022. Westy has stood as an Ape-X resident for just over 5 years now and has become a permanent fixture in the North-East dance community. We took a few minutes to chat with him about his early experiences of Ape-X, hip-house and what it means to be a resident DJ. Check it via our Instagram Over the last 5 years, we have watched the Durham-born talent develop his skills to conduct dance-floors and build atmospheres. Westy possesses an unteachable secret of DJing, which is the ability to inject his spirited personality behind the decks and project it onto any dancefloor. After picking up decks at the young age of 13, it explains how he has accumulated such a vast record collection. Taking influences from Afrobeat, hip hop, french house and Detroit techno, it’s sometimes hard to predict what Westy will spin. After supporting the likes of Anna Wall, Kornél Kovács, Mall Grab and Archie Hamilton. The young DJ stands as one of the finest in the North East. You will be able to catch Westy closing up after Instinct at Part 1 of our Birthday this month. But for now, lock into this mix.
