Bea Trinidad — What 20 Years of Dancing Does to Your DJ Sets

What does two decades of dance training do to your ear — and your DJ sets?Bea Trinidad joins Tiny Table Radio for a conversation about reclaiming music from obligation, finding community in the underground, and the debut EP she's been working toward her whole life.Bea spent 20 years as a trained dancer before stepping behind the decks — not because she was supposed to, but because she finally made the choice herself. Growing up Filipino in NYC, music was structured and expected. It was classical. It was practice. Getting into DJing was the first time music became entirely hers.We talk about what it felt like to stumble into promoting events for Possession — one of the most respected underground queer techno collectives in Europe — and what that experience taught her about what community actually means in underground music. She talks about learning to say no, about the research and vinyl digging behind every set, and about the EP she's building from Asian sounds — a project that's been taking shape for years and will arrive this summer.This is a conversation about the gap between music as obligation and music as identity — and what it takes to finally close it.🎵 About Bea TrinidadNYC-born Filipina DJ rooted in house music and the underground. 20+ years of dance training behind every set she plays.
