Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ sound.
For those who are unfamiliar, my name is DJ BenG (real name Ben Holtam), and I am a DJ from Looe, Cornwall, who specialises in soulful, funky house with a lot of disco rhythms.
What's my sound like? I want to create mixes that will make you want to get up and dance. The tracks combine soulful vocals, chunky basslines, and infectious grooves that seep into your body. I took great care in selecting and blending songs that will keep your head nodding and toes tapping, whether you are at home or out at a club or bar. The vibe is funky, soulful house with a dash of classic disco. It is upbeat music designed to lift your spirits and get you moving.
Tell us something positive to inspire future artists.
Little South has asked me what advice I would give to any aspiring DJs or producers out there, so I will leave you with these words: "Do not look too far ahead, but set yourself a goal of who or what you want to be musically and break down what it would take to become that person. Then, every day, do something to move you forward and closer. Remember, not everyone makes it, and that is okay. Just be yourself and enjoy what you are doing. If people like it, that is great; if not, at least you are being yourself."
Talk us through your podcast mix track selection.
While this is my first DJ mix in several months, my love of music remains. I’ve not felt the urge to create a new mix in a while, so I would like to thank Matt from Little South for giving me this opportunity and getting me back behind the turntables. Over the years, I have made an effort to remain true to my funk roots. Listen to the full mix and let me know what you think.
