Mitch Wellings - Had Me Livid | Private Parts

exclusive | Mitch Wellings - Had Me Livid | Private Parts

In the age of overexposure and algorithmic aesthetics, Mitch Wellings treads a quieter path — one lined with fog-kissed trails, the hum of analog warmth, and an ear attuned to the emotional frequencies between the beat. Based in the pastoral calm of Staffordshire, far from the throb of capital city nightlife, Wellings carves out his musical world with both care and conviction — a craftsman more than a curator, whose productions feel less like tracks and more like transmissions from a thoughtful parallel.

Over the past few years, his label Space Tours has charted its own orbit, drifting with elegant ease through dancefloor-ready rhythms and introspective motifs. Whether via his own imprint or sought-after slots on platforms like Nuances de Nuit, Planet Orange, and LockedIn, Wellings evokes a unique gravity: one that draws in listeners slowly, then holds them in its field. His music murmurs rather than shouts, and in doing so, speaks volumes — about patience, place, and the push-pull between solitude and scene.

But behind the head-nodding groove and celestial motifs lies a multidimensional artist whose reach extends far beyond the booth. A teacher, mentor, sound engineer, and community advocate, Wellings’ world is one of quiet impact and intentional movement. As he prepares to release "The Ritual EP" on Ste Roberts’ Private Parts label and orchestrate his Space Tours takeover at Little Fields Festival, we caught up with the Midlands-based artist to talk studio sanctuaries, fluffy exoplanets, and the eternal balancing act between doing it all — and doing it well.
