It was the electro house sound of the early nineties that first lured Wez Clarke into the ever evolving world of dance music. After many a late night spent listening to local pirate radio stations that were his only source of this new music at the time, he was inspired to buy a set of cheap turntables and a mixer, and by the tender age of 12 had taught himself to mix. Wez soon ventured into the world of music production and has always viewed the two arts of DJing and Producing as one. Through hard work and talent, together with many, many hours spent behind the decks practising, Wez gained guest DJ spots at local venues and rapidly gained a reputation for his ability to get a crowd rocking.
The late nineties saw Wez’s career as a producer take off, with his first single; Headhuntaz “Rip The Freestyle”, going on to become an all time classic in the speed garage world. This first release was on the now infamous Speed Freak Records that Wez set up together with his brother at the age of just 17.
Producing under his monikor of Squint, Wez had huge success in 2003 with singles such as “What Can I Do?” and “What Is Electro?”, which both gained huge support from a broad range of DJs including Seb Fontaine, Timo Maas, James Zabiela, Zane Lowe, Plump DJs, Hybrid, Lucien Foort, Anne Savage, etc. “What Can I Do?” was on the daytime playlist of BBC Radio 1 for over a month and gained Wez a huge amount of exposure as an artist. Exposure that led to remix work for other high profile artists such as Annie Lennox and Moloko.
Wez also had massive success in 2003 with his Daft Punk influenced funky house track “Itll Be Ok” on Ink Records, which with the added strength of remixes from heavyweights MJ Cole and Paul Woolford, went on to reach top 5 in the Upfront Club and Cool Cuts charts.
2008 saw Wez produce the music for hit American TV show Make Me A Supermodel which has been shown the world over.
Recently Wez has remixed tracks for the likes of; Christian Falk ft Robyn (Dream On), Shiny Grey (Why), Henry John Morgan (Cherokee), Fragma (Toca's Miracle - forthcoming on Positiva Records), Dave Armstrong ("Love Has Gone"...number 1 in the Official UK Dance Top 40), Lucien Foort (The Shame), Chanel, Ron Gelfer, Ali Payami, Dynamite, Sunset Strippers, Solu Music, Nate James, Raul Rincon, Switch, Mason and DONS. He was also behind the massive “Wilder & Clarke EP” on Hed Kandi Records.
Wez also does a lot of production and mastering for other big names in the industry. Recent projects include the number 2 hit Kid Kudi "Day N Night" (Mastering), Rudenko "Everybody" (Mastering), Skepta "Rolex Sweep" (Masering) and Steve Angelo & Laidback Luke "Show Me Love" (Production, Mix and Mastering).
Since 2005 Wez has been a worldwide resident DJ for Hed Kandi which has given him the amazing opportunity to play at most major clubs in the UK and in over 28 countries worldwide.
