
Born: 6 November 1971 in Queens, NYC, USA.

Joey Beltram is widely acknowledged as a leading innovator in the early development of underground dance music.

Joey began DJing as a hobby back in 1983 at the age of 13 playing mostly early electro and hip-hop. He made the switch to house music in 1985 when the first wave of Chicago house hit NYC that same year.

In 1989 he started releasing some of his early productions on several small New York record labels whilst he was working as a courier. A year later he caught the eye of R & S Records in Belgium and by mid 1990 released his first major record with that company titled "Energy Flash". Beltram soon followed with some equally impressive releases.
All through the 90's he has created some of the most timeless music on some of the most cutting edge labels of the decade. 
The flyer is from the 04.10.1991 at Quartier Berlin.

Groove•Tribal•Breakbeat•Oldschool•Techno• Melodic 

Not a DJ or a producer, just a lover of techno, fast beats, hard, melodic, groovy, breakbeats and tuneful with minimal breaks: hard groove / Hardgroove - a superb genre. 
My first set of decks 33 years after my first rave back in 1993, Desire at Roller Express have just made their way to me. With so much amazing music available and the inspiration from so many superb artists and DJ’s I’m well on my way to having a lot of fun 😊
See you on a dance floor just make sure to keep up 🔊


Techno
Hardgroove techno is a sub-genre of techno that dates back to the 90's. The genre emphasizes rhythm and groove, featuring syncopated, funky beats and prominent, bouncy basslines. It stands out with its dynamic, percussive elements and energetic, danceable aggressive vibe. Often incorporating melodic or atmospheric touches, hardgroove techno blends influences from funk, breakbeat, and tribal music, creating a distinctive sound that's both rhythmically complex and highly engaging on the dancefloor.
