Blasha & Allatt, the incendiary duo behind Manchester’s infamous Meat Free series, are regular guests at Blitz with their signature strain of bold, groove-driven Techno. This Blitz Live recording captures their electrifying set from early March – the pair stepped in to cover an additional hour after our residents Glaskin had to cancel their live set due to illness. The result? A extended, three-hour powerhouse session, ready for you to relive in full.

The Blitz Live recording stems from early March. What do you recall about DJing that night?
We were actually asked to step in and play an extra hour after Glaskin had to cancel due to illness. It’s always a pleasure to play longer in that booth and genuinely one of the spots where we feel most at home. The vibes were spot on as always, with smiling faces on the dance floor – we both got into that flow state almost instantly!
How do you feel about the mix in retrospect? Did anything surprise you, or unfold differently than expected?
There were a few surprises in there, actually! Sometimes we listen back to a mix and we’re both trying to decipher who played a certain track or what’s layered on top of what – that’s the fun part.
Regardless, we are happy with the outcome. We are really picky when it comes to sharing live mixes, as this is a very raw and honest representation of you and what you stand for musically. For the last couple of years, we’ve gravitated more towards sharing live recordings, as these represent us better than any pre-planned mix ever could.
You’ve been playing regularly at Blitz since September 2022. What are some of your standout memories? Any particularly funny or curious stories you’d like to share?
YES! There’s a couple. The very first time we played Blitz, we were just about to take over from the DJ before us, when this very sassy Queen from the crowd with the biggest fan leaned in and shouted, > DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO DO THIS SHIT?! < Hahah! Slightly daunting, but about an hour into our set they came back to the booth to give a nod of approval.
Also, we can’t forget a little crew of Blitz regulars who baked us both some Blitz-themed biscuits with an iced logo and the sweetest little card. What a bunch!
Do you remember your very first gig at Blitz? How did it go?
Our first night at Blitz was September 2022. We got invited by SHDW to play an Another Mind showcase. As per the previous question, it went really well. It was love at first sight! Any club with turntables sunken into the booth gets a 10/10.
How has your approach to DJing at Blitz evolved over time?
Our evolution is more centred around how comfortable we feel playing the club. We’ve played 11 times as of March 2025, so naturally we have a homely connection with Blitz, the clubbers, and how we communicate during a set.
What’s your favourite thing to do in Munich – aside from playing at Blitz?
We managed to catch an afternoon watching surfers at the Eisbachwelle! However, other than that, not much else 😜
With two of you behind the decks – how do you divide the work as Blasha & Allatt? Who takes care of what, and how do you complement one another?
The work is split 50/50 – we’ve always mixed one track-for-one track, as it applies a certain pressure that we both respond well to. We don’t plan anything other than maybe the first track, and then we just roll with it. However, we do make sure to align on the sub-genres of techno when prepping at home.
In terms of how it plays out behind the booth, most of the time we use an Allen & Heath Xone 96, which allows us to listen independently from each other; when one of us is mixing, the other is cueing the upcoming track.
In the last few years, we’ve really enjoyed the creative freedom of mixing 3–4 decks using a mixture of vinyl and digital – this has kept it interesting for us. That being said, there are only a select few clubs where we feel fully comfortable doing this, Blitz being one of them.
What’s in store for Blasha & Allatt in the near future? Any special projects on the horizon you can hint at?
In keeping with the Blitz theme, we are doing our first Meat Free takeover of the club in summer – a very special moment for us!
