Introducing the DJ Wesley Friday Night House Party
Starting tonight (Friday, October 17, 2008), I’ll be spinning a new mixshow on iDanceRadio.fm. We’re calling it The DJ Wesley Friday Night House Party, and that’s pretty much what it is… The best in progressive, electro, and some of your favorite mainstream club remixes.
Every Friday, I’ll be mixing live starting at 10:00 PM Eastern (7:00 PM Pacific), initially for two hours, although we might be expanding it to three fairly quickly. I want to emphasize that the show will be live, warts and all. (I’ll prerecord only if I’ll be on vacation, have a gig elsewhere, etc.) So for better or worse, you get to hear it as it’s happening. 
Tonight’s show is a bit of a dry-run, so it’s entirely possible that some technical glitch will keep the show from going on as planned, but I’m not too worried. (Worst case, we’ll try again next week.)
The show is sponsored by CAPP Records, and I’m sure I’ll be featuring a few of the best CAPP has to offer.
I welcome your feedback, requests, comments, etc. Please send them by e-mail; contact information is on my web site at djwesley.com.
Finally, please be sure to let your friends know! It’s the perfect primer before you head out clubbing on a Friday night, or even if you’re just hangin’ out at home…
I hope you enjoy it!

Jacinta’s new single finally out
My friend Jacinta, who is a genuine sweetheart in addition to a truly talented songstress, has finally put her latest single and remix package in the can. Titled Electric Universe, she’s been performing it live for several months now, and I’ve been really anxious to hear the song myself. I’m pleased to report that she’s very likely got another hit on her hands.
I became familiar with Jacinta in 2006 when she released Destination, a song I still enjoy. Then came 2007′s Can’t Keep it a Secret, which was simply amazing.
As was the case with Secret, Jacinta and her production team brought a number of remixers to the table, cranking out a remix package that takes the song in a lot of different directions. Since I just got the promo today, I’ve not had a chance to listen to all of them in intimate detail just yet.
But one of the mixes stood out to me immediately: the “Robert G Club Mix.” Compared to a quick and dirty preview of the other mixes, it stood out as really adding a terrific kick to Jacinta’s energetic vocal, which seemed lacking a bit on the other mixes.
I’ll follow-up as soon as I have a chance to give the entire package a decent listen, but I encourage you to check it out on Perfect Beat. MasterBeat will be offering it for sale soon as well.
