Week 2:
Ray Wenge (When-ghey) is a classically trained multi-instrumentalist, DJ, producer and lover of jazz, funk, soul and world music. He was introduced to electronic music and learnt to mix with vinyl around 2010 whilst at university in Sheffield [UK], diverting much of his student loan to buy new releases.
Ray was a regular at the city’s abundant underground warehouse parties. Over those years, Ray saw legends such as Octave One, Carl Craig, Dave Clarke and Jeff Mills. He credits Sam Shepherd (Floating Points) as a huge source of inspiration - studying the master at work behind the turntables during marathon sets of house music artfully blended with rare soul and samba, never losing the captivation of the crowd.
Ray is now based in Christchurch, NZ and is a member at XCHC where he hosts “Intercambio” day parties spinning funk, soul, disco, house and world music on vinyl… now available on RDU fortnightly Saturdays 8-10am! His debut album “Omerta” was released in 2025.
