What a pleasure it is to have BenG back in the spotlight with a toe-tapping house mix. It's been a while since we last caught up with Ben. It sounds like he has been busy perfecting his mixes!
Hi, Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ life.
My name is Ben Holtam, aka DJ BenG.
Describe your DJ sound.
I play funky, soulful, disco inspired house music.
Tell us how you have kept busy during the last year or so of lockdowns.
A few years back, I produced a weekly radio show & podcast which I would send out to various radio stations around the globe but gave that up when it got a little too much. It was a big commitment & I found it tough to keep it up so I gave it up & took a break.
Now, I produce mixes as often as I can & post them to my music pages & also send out guest mixes to anyone who asks. This is now my fourth mix for Little South & I am very proud of the work that I have put in on this one.
Talk us through this podcast episode and why you have chosen to include the tracks that have made the cut.
I wanted a bit more of an uptempo vibe to this mix, something that would listen to pre-club or in a late night bar. The tracks I have selected are all pretty new & current which is mostly how I like to play in my mixes. I like to keep the music bang up to date & also include tracklistings to help support & promote the artists & labels.
This isn’t always the case, sometimes to throw in a re-edit or a classic (as I have here) to finish things off.
My plans are to continue to put out new mixes for both my own pages or for guest slots & I am always open to playing out & about so give me a shout if you like my sound.
