Joey Beltram (born 6 November 1971) is an American DJ and record producer, known best for the pioneering techno music
recordings âEnergy Flashâ and âMentasmâ.
Though he has never belonged to any particular urban scene, he has nevertheless fascinated his audience through his musical

Joey Beltram (born 6 November 1971) is an American DJ and record producer, known best for the pioneering techno music
recordings âEnergy Flashâ and âMentasmâ.
Though he has never belonged to any particular urban scene, he has nevertheless fascinated his audience through his musical
independence. Nor can he as a ânon-Manhattanerâ, be counted as part of the New York scene: ââŚwith my productions I have to
have my own soundâ. His tracks present what he sees, whatever is running through his mind at the time or things he has lived
through and experienced in all the years as a musician and DJ: the ups and the downs, the violence and confusion and of
course, the feeling. His music carries many subtle undertonesâŚ
Joey Beltram grew up in Queens, New York, the son of a Mexican father and an Italian mother. In his tough surroundings, he
stood his own ground and won the necessary respect on the street with his graffiti art. As a âsubway surferâ he belonged to a
generation of kids whose images in the New York subways show obvious traces of their âfeeling for survival and lifeâ. âPoesâ is
his pseudonym, which still can be found, once in a while, as the signature under some of the big, colorful graffiti works. That
urge is still there, but now he uses a different outlet for his creative energies: music. « hide |
