Walk the Talk with Beccie B

Who is Beccie B?

I am a DJ. I'm the night's host of George FM Nights. I'm a graphic designer, and I'm a promoter with some of my club shows. 

I festival hop and have a good time and play lots of cool music. I'm very lucky. I've kind of like curated my life to exactly how I wanted it to be. I'm so lucky.

Why did you choose this walk? What do you like about it?

I chose for us to come to the West Haven Marina because it's just gorgeous. I'm not from Auckland, and then every time I walk around here, I'm like, oh yeah, I love this city. It's so pretty. We've got it on a gorgeous day.

Do you ever end up at Swashbucklers?

All the time! 

What movement activity is underrated?

The amount of steps you can burn if you actively at a rave, listening to the DJ, like two step with like your watch or your ring on or whatever, you will step count up a storm!

Yeah, totally. 100%.

Like going to a festival and seeing how far you've walked over 1-2 days...

Yeah youre doing like 30, 40,000 steps at a festival. Then like a day to day, you're like, oh my god, I could never. Trying to like turn raving into an experience that like is healthy and works for you.

But I'm trying not to drink at the moment. 2025 I've been pretty much sober.

Wow, what inspired that?

The last 14-15 years of my life I've just been like on the piss, and like all in good fun. The further I get along with my career and DJing and all the rest of it, like this summer was crazy. I pretty much do it every weekend. I don't take it lightly, it's my job now. I like to do a really good job. I just hate feeling like shit. 

Are there any challenges you're faced with not drinking and DJ'ing?

I'm like a real goody two-shoes when I DJ. I DJ 99% of the time I'm stone-cold sober. I've had like one pal and, yeah, I'm pretty good.

Is it more like the afters?

The afters... yeah, I really struggle, especially because if I'm DJ'ing nine times out of ten, I've had a really stressful day because I'm just nervous. And after all I want to do is have fun. I can hang out with my friends. And then sometimes I'm quite hard on myself when I DJ, so if I get off stage and I'm like whoa, that was sick, that's hard when I can't like crack open the bottle of champagne like I usually would.

Or like on the other end of that sometimes I'm like god that was so shit and then, not like I would drink in those situations, but I have to now be sober with a massive drunk group of friends being like yeah it was mean. Like shut up. 

That's why when you text me with Almighty, i was like oh bro i’ve been on the Almighty’s! It’s like perfect timing.

But yeah I've got 10 tokens. 

Oh yeah okay I like this!

Obviously, I'm a DJ, but it's also wedding season. There are a few things that I'm like, oh I don't want to be like...

I like that. It's a good balance. 

Yeah, I've used 3. Which I feel like actually is all good considering it's mid-summer. So I'll have a quiet winter and then maybe use my other tokens at the other end.

So a token the equivalent to one night out? 

Yeah. I've just been to the States...

Oh true! Omg that looked like so much fun.

It was fun. It's pretty wild over there. I swear we didn't see a vegetable till New York. But like Vegas was a riot. Oh, my drinking thing….not in international waters. 

That's totally valid! That is so fair.

I want my margarita in New York. 

For you what is thirsty work?

DJ'ing! Especially over summer, like 30 degrees. A lot of DJS stand there and just like…(push buttons)

Yeah, not her. 

I'm in!

You need to be in it, though!

I dance and I’m like... (DJ moves) And I hop off stage, and I'm a sweaty bitch. For lack of a better term, your gal is hot and thirsty.

Thank you for coming with us on this walk, who do you think we should walk with next?

An artist that I absolutely adore, he's a designer as well, he's super funny, he's got an amazing dog- James Hunt.
