Bellaire is a French DJ and electronic producer known for his iconic mustache, cap, funky glasses, and infectious brand of soulful house grooves that's rooted in his teenage passion for hip-hop sampling. First breaking out in 2018 with his wildly successful Paris City Jazz EP, Bellaire has been perfecting his addictive dancefloor sound over the years and he just unleashed his debut full-length album Born Funky on April 10th.
True to the name of his new album, Bellaire's guest DJ mix for Midnight in a Perfect World is a supremely funky dance party that showcases his sharp ear for timeless, infectious, impossibly groovy house and disco music that also features three tracks from his album.
