This episode of Belta is in conversation with UKG and bass producer and DJ, Sammy Virji. Pretty much an adopted northerner, we discussed making it onto the FIFA soundtrack, creating DIY Instagram filters, and how to balance life on the road as a DJ - an equal life is a good life, friends…You can follow Sammy on Instagram <a href='https://www.instagram.com/sammyvirji/'>@sammyvirji</a> to keep up with what he’s got going on.Find Belta online at <a href='https://www.instagram.com/beltamedia/'>@beltamedia</a> and Niamh at <a href='https://www.instagram.com/n_iamhingram/'>@n_iamhingram</a>.

Belta goes behind the scenes with DJs, producers and folk in club culture, totally unfiltered. There’s a catch, though: they’re all from, or based in, the north.

Shy bairns get nowt, after all… niaaaamh.substack.com
