Wes Nike founder of Tech Noir - Exploring rave culture and building a brand- OTM004

Welcome to the On the Mezzanine Podcast with Milly Murray! 

I will be exploring the lives of creatives across London from industries such as music, DJing, food and drink, drag, performing arts and much more all filmed live in the Mezzanine bar in Tooting Market. 
In the fourth episode I interview Wes Nike, founder of events brand Tech Noir who have a residency at the Mezzanine.  Wes was inspired to create the brand after seeing the TV and film posters at the Mezzanine and wanted to create a brand with a science fiction and film noir influence. Tech Noir is a blend of house, live vocals, liquid d&b and tech house. 

We’ll be getting into Wes’s journey in the rave scene, which he discovered a bit later in life, working with family as Wes’s niece does the live vocals at his sets, the raving in Brighton,  managing work life balance being an illustrator and running an events brand and the friendships you make in the music scene. 

Your host- hey I’m Milly, I started this podcast because I love dance music, performing arts, food and know so many people doing amazing things who deserve to share their stories! I run dance music party collective Furzenights and totally believe that the future of nightlife and culture relies on grassroots creatives. 

This podcast is sponsored by the Mezzanine bar in Tooting Market. The Mezzanine is an independent venue pioneering dance music in Tooting. Every weekend they host a variety of unique music events showcasing local talent, as well as cabaret, open deck vinyl nights and private events.  I would always recommend the Mezzanine’s unique tequila bar with a range of southern Californian and Mexican inspired premium cocktails.
