This Was Belgium 1987-89 - 2 hours of New Beat favourites

New Beat was born and initially exploded in 1987, went supernova (in Belgium) in 1988 and then the formula morphed a bit and was declared dead in 1989. It was slow and initially all about the atmosphere with industrial strength beats - the main form of rhythmic propulsion being the pounding kick and heavy snare. It was often mainly instrumental and when there was lyrical content it often became more about slogans and giving commands - "Move Your Ass And Feel The Beat!", "Let There Be Brightness!", "Shout Out Loud!". While not really New Beat, it's no surprise Technotronic's "Pump Up Jam" was produced by a crew who had produced a ton of New Beat gems.

In 1989 one of New Beat's founders, Marc Grouls said "New Beat is atmosphere, beats, no lyrics, and sure as hell not commercial!!!!!" But, it was already too late. A zillion bandwagon jumpers had diluted the music and flooded the market with too many sub standard 12" singles. New Beat temple, the legendary Boccaccio nightclub, in Destelbergen, near Ghent, had been closed down and it looked like it was all over, but really, it was just the beginning. New Beat morphed into Hard Beat (many of the tracks on this mix are from the Hard Beat era) which quickly morphed into Belgian Rave, which was huge and hugely influential in the UK and is an often overlooked part of the DNA of UK Hardcore, and all that came after. Then from Ghent, R&S Records established itself as thee European Techno label and a huge wave of incredible Techno records emanated from it and many other mighty Belgian labels, but that is another story. 

New Beat arrived just as I first started DJing and I played a lot of it in my DJ sets and built up connections with several of the leading Belgian labels who would send me 12" singles so I had records nobody else here had any idea even existed. I would compile New Beat charts for the music paper The NME which may have given the impression there was a thriving New Beat scene in Scotland. The reality was very different; people here, many of whom would embrace the rave just a little while later never really took to it in a big way.

This mix is comprised of many of my personal favourites that I have loved since they came out (and two I missed at the time and only heard later). I think the tracks have aged like a fine wine, often sounding as good if not better today as they did then. There is definitely a faint whiff of fromage and a big dollop of stoopid in several of these tracks. Of course, it is not all about the cheese and many of these adhere to the "atmosphere, beats, no lyrics, and sure as hell not commercial" rule mentioned above. Some of the best programmed 303 Acid basslines ever made can be heard here along with transcendental hypno synths and those Belgian beats going on and on....! Slow and low, from under 100bpm up to 116, New Beat doesn't chug, it swings in a very distinct way. If you get to see any videos of Belgian clubs of the era, the way people moved to this music is incredible and so different to any dancing we see today.

Many of these tracks are made by the same people under various aliases, which will perhaps be audibly evident. Most of the names have been forgotten, if they were ever even known outside their native Belgium at all, but all are legends to me. 

This mix isn't any kind of attempt to tell the story of New Beat but rather a mix 33 of my favourite 12" singles from that era showing many of the various strains of the New Beat and Hard Beat sound. A lot of love went into this and I hope someone somewhere discovers this music for the first time and falls in love with it as I did way back when. This was Belgium!

If you know, you know...

This is a visit Down The Stairs that we have been itching to nail down for a fair bit of time and are now delighted to bring it to you. If you're a fan of deeper sounds and have been on Soundcloud over the last number of years, fair chance you've come across the man like @estimulo ,  who also runs his @estimuloshow page.

A true modern day hero of all things deep house and techno mixes, this man knows how to select a 12”! As well as his insanely good and consistent online output, gigs have been racked up across some of Berlin's finest in Arkaoda, Tresor, OHM and Paloma Bar; as well as further around Europe.

It's rare to check Estimulo's page and not find a new mix every week, maybe even a couple in the space of a week. We are mega chuffed that (all being well and that he'll share it) our own DTS mix will appear alongside some crackers already out there.

Loads of amazing stuff in here from the likes of @boutopoulos-george , @spillwaylabel , @plo_sound , @ph-one , @childofthehood and many more!

Do enjoy, and be sure to follow the main man himself!

Next to step under the gun is Ben Boe, curator of the excellent For Those That Knoe label, which primarily focusses on unearthing and reissuing undiscovered gems. For decades he’s been amassing an extensive and enviable record collection to rival most others, and knows a thing or two about how to play them. Ben's mix exemplifies his sound and style perfectly - deep & groovy as fuck house and techno obscurities, mixed by a master who knows his records inside out. Plus he’s a Leeds fan.

Very pleased to have Sedgwick as guest here on Deeprhythms, a multi-talented Australian DJ, producer and co-owner of the superb Potatoheadz imprint. The mix is 100% his own productions, so it sure is a special treat.

"The mix is an hour and a half of my own material, including some tracks that have previously been released, some tracks that will soon be released and some tracks that up until now have only been heard by me.

I think it shows a range of different styles and influences, as a lot of the material varies greatly depending on whatʼs going on for me personally. I definitely donʼt consider myself to be strictly an Electro producer, or strictly a House producer or anything like that."

Barcelona-based radio show / record label Canela en Surco is proud to present the first compilation of the best early works of Alex Martin, a local hero and pioneer of the electronic music scene in Barcelona and a key piece in the development of dance music during the early 90's.
Producing under different pseudonyms (Sideral, A3K, The Fat DB, as well as his own name, Alex Martin), he has released EPs on iconic labels such as F Communications, Klang Elektronik, Minifunk, Boozo Music, as well as his own imprint Higlamm Phonographics. 

This double compilation aims to capture the wide range of styles Alex has produced: from ambient, downtempo, and IDM (Elipse, Mare Nostrum, Butterfly) to NYC and Detroit-influenced house music (I Wanna Look To The Stars, Incognita, Can Make It) to minimal techno and early tech house (Planetarium, Twirl, Firewall), Alex has navigated an immense variety of styles, consistently maintaining a highly personal sound of impressive quality for someone so far removed geographically from the main centers of creation at the time.

Album comes with a double-sided insert with a photo of young Alex himself and liner notes from the artist and label owners. All tracks are officially licensed from the artist and remastered from the original DAT tapes by Simon Davey at The Exchange (London).
