Manchester DJ @tarzsa_williams records an uplifting mix of warming, soulful house for the Fresh Kicks series 

“This mix feels very tender and somewhat of a breakthrough for me... It’s definitely a gradual build, something from both my mind and heart.  For me, it’s a reminder to myself and others that there’s still some magic to be found even when it’s a bit difficult to create. Recorded in one take, because I literally don’t know how else to do it."

Shy One - November 2022

Baltra has been consistently producing and releasing music for many years. Hailing from Philadelphia but now based in New York, over the years he has put out material via the likes of Local Action, Shall Not Fade, 96 and Forever and many more.

His sound has evolved with time, drawing upon influences which transcend dance music, utilising inspiration from Pop, RnB, Hip Hop and beyond.

These sensibilities are what has developed him as an artist and make him interesting, his music often blurs the lines between being quintessentially 'House', 'Bass' or 'Techno' and something else entirely.

As a DJ he has also risen in prominence, playing regularly in New York and now receiving international acclaim and recognition for his music as part of a fresh faced array of new musicians emerging from across the pond.

This mixtape showcases his modern approach to dance music, placing emphasis on melody and emotion as much as the energetic pace of drums, rhythm and percussion.

Don't Touch My Fro! was live with special guest Sass for a high energy two hour mix of soulful house cuts and filthy electro selections built for the dancefloor. Tracks in the bag from the likes of Infusion, Gene Farris, and DJ Pirna.
