Friction // Proton Radio // Resident Mix: James Beetham [Oct 2021]

Co-founder of Variable Frequencies on InsomniaFM along with great mate, DJ and producer Seven Wells.... Tim plays for the love of deep organic and progressive sounds... Inspiration from DJs and producers such as Lee Burridge, Lost Desert, Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J, Volen Sentir, Marsh, Hosini, Emotional Tourist, M.O.S., Ventt and Keparys, El Mundo, GMJ & Matter, Ezequiel Arias, Emi Galvan, Elliot Moriarty, Edi Schwartz, Molac, Wassu, St.Ego and Rigooni to name a few [way too many to mention].... Tim and Seven Wells host Variable Frequencies on InsomniaFM where they try and showcase up and coming djs and producers to the rest of the world. Its such a passion for these guys that they just want people to experience what they love, and hopefully introduce people some new artists that they would not have ordinarily heard....
