Producer, remixer and dj from Minneapolis and founder/label manager of Arctic Dub Records and Sursumcorda Recordings.
Based in Portugal these days, Wesley works under a series of monikers such as Dave Wesley, Existente, Xerography, and The Mayhem Lecture Series.
He is greatly influenced by minimalism and iterative process-oriented art and strives to create pieces that, on the surface, are repetitive, while deeper listening reveals a subtly evolving cinematic scene. He is also obsessed with the contradistinction of contemporary clean digital sonics within beds and layers of lo-fi aural contexts and field recordings.
