Manchester based DJ and promoters Blasha & Allatt join us for a chat about the music industry and their background promoting and playing a growing number of parties in the UK and internationally. The duo, who has been developing a strong bond in working together for years, share their passion for music and experience about the natural ups and downs of the creator’s journey.

Blasha & Allatt were first introduced to each other by a common friend. They almost instantly enjoyed playing records together and started DJing back-to-back. Eventually with an extended group of friends, they started Meat Free, a well respected regular event in Manchester, that allowed them to host artists such as Ben Sims, Haai, Surgeon, Hector Oaks, Nur Jaber, Sunil Sharpe, Claire Morgan, Manni Dee, Dr Rubinstein… and many more.

In this chat, we talk about their love for records and music, their history and the learnings from working with other people; and also how they played Boiler Room, preparing for gigs and the challenges of working as a duo. We discuss life experiences (including breaking Ben Sim’s tooth) and the ups and downs that creators - at least most of them - are likely to face. We look at how the scene is bound to evolve due to the current world crisis and the possibility to have more space for the grassroots of the scene: the local artists. And we dig deeper into Blasha & Allatt’s life ethos: doing what makes you happy and sticking to what you really want to do.
