Greg Belson

This Friday 7th November on dublab.com, it's the 45 Live Radio Show! Joining me this week is another guest from outside of the crew. We're heading to Burnley in the north of the UK, where you'll find one of the nicest folks in the DJ biz; CHRIS HOLT (Tropical Disco) Chris has a knack of genre hopping from one continent to the next, loading up his record box with not just your regular run of the norm, and has the ability for it to all make perfect sense. He hosts his own Tropical Disco radio show and you'll see him bouncing around several essential festivals around the summer months including Glastonbury & Beat Herder. See him at venues like The Golden Lion in Todmorden aka Andrew Weatherall's favorite venue, and Nelson's Bar...a sweet basement hang out run by folks who live it. His is a rich tapestry...and now he's here for you via way of the dublab crew! Your host Greg Belson is digging deep into the discofied world and synth-led dancefloor gloriousness, with the customary curveball always thrown in for good measure! This is 45 Live!
