Joey began DJing as a hobby back in 1983 at the age of 13 playing mostly early electro and hip-hop. He made the switch to house music in 1985 when the first wave of Chicago house hit NYC that same year. In 1989 he started releasing some of his early productions on several small New York record labels. A year later he caught the eye of R&S records in Belgium and by mid 1990 released his first major record with that company titled "Energy Flash" (voted track of the decade in MUZIK magazine in 2000). Beltram soon followed with some equally impressive releases such as "Mentasm" and "My Sound". All through the 90Æs he has created some of the most timeless music on some of the most cutting edge labels of the decade (R&S, Transmat, WARP, Tresor, Trax, Novamute). Some highlights include: "The Caliber e.p." on Warp in 1993, the album "Places" on Tresor in Æ95 and also "Close Grind" on Novamute in Æ96 under the name JB3. In 1999 he formed STX Records, which he currently records for under both JB3 and Joey Beltram. The STX sound focuses mainly on music that blurs the line between house and techno while still keeping heavily dancefloor orientated.
