Wes Lee

In the artist's words:

After spending 20-years to help build the contemporary hip-
hop and dancehall landscape in The Netherlands, under the

infamous alias ‘WaxFiend’, Wesley Texel (founder of Encore,
Jamrock, Tribes, and Ziongate and booker @ Paradiso) takes
to his new moniker, ‘Wes Lee’, to extend and re- emphasise
his continued efforts to champion electronic dance music
from Africa and her diaspora in the Netherlands.
In his own words, Wes Lee is an exploration of introspective,
ancestral, deep and sensual bass and percussion driven
electronic music unapologetically representing the
motherland.

Free from the influence of popular playlists and predictive
algorithms, Wes Lee is more concerned with charting new
spiritual territory than he is with playing it safe. Perpetually
in tandem with his audience, they journey together to places
where ego and prejudice have no home, celebrating the
healing properties of communal dancing as an expression of
freedom.
