Bellectra saw the light of day in 2015.

After a career in the music industry //as a DJ, dept. manager in Free Record Shop and Virgin Megastore Brussels, product manager at Proxis and distribution/label manager at Play It Again Sam Brussels// and a long break to raise a family, Bart Leblans returns to the music scene as a producer: Bellectra.

The name Bellectra is a contraction of bel(le) and electra. It stands for (beautiful) electronic music from Belgium. It is also referring to a company named Electrabel which is a Belgian electricity producer/distributor). Not because he likes the company so much but it's name always had a "techno" flavour to him. 

Bart feels he is lucky he has been inspired by so many different people, artists, labels and clubs. Making his own music feels like natural progression. His music is often minimal but can be quite delicate and melodic too. He does not want to be restricted to one style or genre. That's something for the bizz to figure out. If he is asked to name 5 artists who inspired him the most he would go for something like "Carl Craig, Richie Hawtin, Sebastian Mullaert and Marcus Henriksson, Ian Pooley, Robert Smith, Andrew Weatherall, Nick Cave, Gilles Peterson, Matthew Herbert, Tom Middleton, Billie Holiday, Geoff Barrow, Mathew Jonson, Dominik Eulberg ... " there's no stopping him now ...
