I LOVE ACID

It’s a no-nonsense affair with Wes Baggaley, the DJ cult favourite of raw rhythms and pulsating electronic bass. 

The alchemy for Wes is vinyl, an obsession in collection for over 30 years. Born and raised in Wigan, he first set out with punk and grindcore records before the grip of electronic music tightened fast after discovering industrial groups like Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire via his favourite band, Godflesh. The nineties club scene beckoned, and after cutting his teeth at legendary local venue The Pier he started travelling to clubs such as Manchester’s Bugged Out, Back to Basics in Leeds and Liverpool’s Voodoo where he’d regularly catch DJs such as Derrick Carter, Gemini, David Holmes and Jeff Mills; all the while continuing to attend his beloved punk gigs. Naturally what followed was DJing, a patient decades-long span of craft honing with an inimitable palette of sounds. 

His sets are dark, deep and propulsive; a tight mix of rough house and brutal techno that covers the dungeon sonics of acid, EBM, industrial and new wave. That feeling from the dancefloor with Wes at the wheel is unparalleled, a sweat-drenched hysteria that encapsulates like no other. Acclaimed transmissions for Boiler Room, Mixmag’s The Lab and The Lot Radio plus a former residency on Rinse FM prove this, while regular appearances at festivals Glastonbury and Houghton plus clubs like FOLD, Berghain, Robert Johnson, Folklore in Lausanne, KALT in Strasbourg and beloved parties adonis and I Love Acid further the cause.
