Music for Waltzers is being screened at @offbeatfilm festival on Wednesday May 6th as part of their āWelcome to the UKā section! Weāve also been nominated for best sound and music award. Huge congrats to the team for putting together such an awesome festival with incredible films. Hope to see you there!
My documentary is out now on YouTube! Itās been a year of travelling up and down the country in search for my childhood waltzer, going to countless fairs, interviewing showmen, gaff lads and riding loads of Waltzers! Link in my bio!
Iāve spent the last few months traveling the country, hitting every fairground I could find to capture the culture of the Fairground Waltzer. š”
Itās been a wild journey, but Iām buzzing to finally share a sneak peek of the documentary Iāve been making!
Turn your sound UP. š

Friday, Iām showcasing my new EP, documentary, and multi-sensory exhibition, all centered around the fairground Waltzer. Itās my most personal work to date, and if you canāt make Friday, donāt worry, Iāll be there all weekend, looking forward to seeing you!
so this project has taken the last year to put together, bit has taken me a lifetime to get here. My 11 year old self would be buzzing. Thankyou to everyone involved in bringing it to life, and @graduationrcrds for putting it out.
Coming in a few weeks is a special documentary iāve made about the waltzers, after going up and down the country and speaking to all the lovely people who are involved in the amazing showperson community.
Iām also planning a mini exhibiton , to showcase this wonderful ride and its culture, so this is just the start!
Over the past year Iāve been up and down the country, talking to show people, gaff lads, mcās , riders , punters. Iāve ridden more waltzers than I can imagine.
Music for waltzers is coming next week and I canāt wait to show you š¢
Setting Sun is the second track on Music for Waltzers , I wanted to channel the logical song by Scooter which was the soundtrack of my childhood!
Written with @caitlinstubbs and @kevanennedy and mastered by @tuffmastering on @graduationrcrds
Was my childhood dream to have a Waltzer play my music.
When I was about 7, I used to visit a disco light shop every Saturday, where theyād show me the latest sound and lighting rigs. I decided then and there my DJ name would be DJ Bellisima , and promptly turned the house into a makeshift nightclub/Waltzer.
Armed with a strobe, a smoke machine, a computer chair, and a very patient sister as my test pilot⦠the dream was alive.
So now hearing my tunes on a Waltzer just makes my 7-year-old brain explode!!
Anyone else proper into @jaguarworldwide ās Dancefloor Moment from last week? š
