45 Live Radio Show
11.07.25
Greg Belson, a highly respected, LA-based DJ on the rare soul/funk scene, hosts the monthly dublab show 45 Live. It’s about the love of music, the love of vinyl and having an excellent old time of it. Whatever you do, keep it 45.
45 Live is a collective of DJs from across Europe and the USA who have come together to indulge in and celebrate their love of the mighty 45rpm 7″ single. Hailing from all corners of popular and niche music scenes, the love of the 45 is what drew them all together. Created by UK based DJs Boca 45 and Pete Isaac, 45 Live is fast growing into a record label, festival circuit and events brand, and regular club night session.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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!
