The fourth episode of Belta sees Solardo join Niamh for a chat, which was recorded whilst the lads were on a brief touring break.

They discussed all sorts: from how to get guestlist for life, to their production process, to how to *really* get your music signed. Spoiler: it’s wild.

For the second episode of Belta, I spoke to producer and DJ Melé. The Liverpool born-and-based artist sat down to chat for an hour before he jets off to travel and play across the world.

We spoke about spotting celebrities in the crowd wearing cowboy hats, who is *actually* going to win the league and playing football in Beverly Hills with some particularly famous faces.

You can follow Melé on Instagram @mele to keep up with what he’s got going on.

For the second episode of Belta, I spoke to producer and DJ Meg Ward. Based between Leeds now, she did a stint in Newcastle and her name is cropping up across massive festival and event lineups such as Annie Mac’s Lost and Found and Boardmasters.

We spoke about tearing up the LS6 basement parties, had a brief geography lesson (seriously), playing a DJ set when all the crowd wants is Pop Smoke and just how class the North East is…

Gracie T is a secondary school English teacher by day, and DJ by night (or, whenever they're not in a classroom).  Currently based in Sheffield having grown up in a small town in the North East, she's a founding member of collectives The Beatriarchy - a platform for underrepresented artists - and Daytimers, a collective of selectors and producers of South Asian heritage who aim to showcase their community’s talents on their own terms.

We spoke about playing Boiler Room, Tik Tok bangers and the bizarre super-strength people that appear at raves (trust us on this one). You can follow Gracie T on Instagram @djgraciet,  find Daytimers here, and The Beatriarchy here.

Belta is a new audio series, where host Niamh Ingram chats to the people in the electronic music sector smashing it right now from the north. Each episode is no standard interview: Belta will dig deep and go, unfiltered, behind the scenes of what you see (and hear) day-to-day.
