Greg Belson is a DJ, record collector, producer, curator and compiler of rare soul music you might not have heard before, specializing in the world of Gospel.

And let us not forget his journey into the heavenly world of disco in the worlds best club “for one weekend only” NYC Downlow at Glastonbury festival, where he delivers a sunrise gospel set every year!
