About

Music first.Everything elsefollows.

For Freshwest, DJing has never been about simply playing the next record. It’s about understanding the moment: when to build, when to change direction and when to let the music breathe.

The approach

Readingthe room.

A summer afternoon overlooking the Gower coastline calls for something different from a late-night club or a private celebration.

Freshwest approaches each with the same instinct: pay attention to the people, the setting and the atmosphere. The music follows naturally.

The sound

Where itcomes from.

Two threads run through the music: golden-era hip hop, and soulful, Balearic and organic house with warmth, depth and rhythm.

He’s played Ministry of Sound in London and performed in Ibiza, as well as independent events across Shropshire and South Wales.

His own events

Music, peopleand places.

Playing other people’s nights is only part of it. Seasunal Sessions and RUN SY1 are where he shapes everything himself, from the sound to the setting.

Seasunal Sessions

Music shaped by the season and the setting. Spring Safari, Endless Summer, Shoreline Soul above the Gower coastline at Rhossili, Reflections and Après-Ski each have a character of their own.

RUN SY1

Freshwest’s hip-hop night: golden-era selections, boom bap and the party records of the 90s and 00s.

RUN SY1

Different sounds. Different settings. The same instinct for the right record at the right moment.
