Belta Podcast

This episode of Belta is with Manchester-based DJ and producer Meltx. We covered all sorts in this episode: from perceptions of hard techno, to embracing your truest self and feminity, to experiences on the dancefloor and beyond. I learned a lot in this one about the scene she is involved in and some super interesting outlooks on life, and I know you will too. Find Meltx online here [https://www.instagram.com/meltx__/].

This episode of Belta is with Van Damn. He is an absolutely class producer and DJ hailing from Scotland, and has many what I’m going to call ‘side quests’ through the stellar b2b podcast and design work. We spoke about plenty in this episode - from his various DJing endeavours, to Scotland and bigging up the local and making music for YOU. We gossiped til the ends of the earth if I’m honest, so I'd grab a cuppa for this one. Find Van Damn online here [https://www.instagram.com/n_iamhingram/].

This episode of Belta is with Tony y Not. Born in Germany and now living in North America, specifically NYC, she is a stellar DJ and producer who weaves between soundscapes of upbeat rhythms, funny builds, dark synths and acid tinged disco. I’ve been wanting her on Belta for a while now, and we’ve finally made it happen! We spoke about mental health and invisible illness in the music industry, something very close to both of our hearts, plus many more: think learning to produce on Youtube, her lil Couzin S friend that pops up, and quite literally travelling the world.

This episode of Belta is with Talina. Originally from Manchester and now based in London, she’s a sensational presenter, radio host and DJ who holds down regular shows on Rinse FM, has hosted Boiler Rooms, and runs her own podcast South Asian Overground.  Naturally we spoke about all of that, her absolutely instrumental and incredible efforts to talk about mental health and build open narratives around it, getting into presenting when you’re not from a ‘hub’ and plenty more. She’s also a hardcore Manchester United fan... so that dominated a heap towards the end. Spoiler: she can tell the future. :D Find Talina online here [https://www.instagram.com/itsnottalina/].

This episode of Belta is with Denham Audio. Originally from London but at this point an adopted Northerner having moved to Sheffield and never looked back, he’s been all over the place recently. Look no further than his 23 date tour that spanned Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand... We covered heaps in this episode and had such a class, chilled out conversation. Highlights include the mighty Sheffield, of course, and his determination to engage with the community, his genre fluidity, his collective and label Club Glow and what he’d do if he was an early career producer wanting to share his first tracks today. We even touched upon his dabbling in being a film star…! Find Denham Audio online here [https://www.instagram.com/denhamaudio/].
