Joey Beltram has been considered one of the pioneers and legendary producers of techno and house for over 20 years. Hailing from New York, Beltram has also been hailed as a major influence by many of today's DJs and producers, including Daft Punk (as mentioned in their song “Teachers”). He also produced many 1990s Techno songs including “Energy Flash”, “Mentasm”, “Forklift”, “Ballpark” and “Game Form”. He has released records on many of the biggest labels of the early '90s, such as Nu-Groove, Tresor, Warp, Transmat and R&S records. Much of his music from that time is widely seen as groundbreaking. ​ Most recently, Joey Beltram has collaborated with and remixed artists and DJs such as Adam Beyer, Carl Cox, Umek, Oliver Huntemann and Christian Smith. His productions on Harthouse, BUSH, MB Electronic and Drumcode have shown that he still has the magic in the studio.
