In the UK Midlands of late 1988, shortly after the second Summer of Love, a 15 year old schoolboy, already immersed in Acid House and Detroit Techno, reads in one of the pretentious London-centric mags he devours each month about a new sound which could be the next big genre.  It's called New Beat, and it comes, of all places, from Belgium. This makes him pay attention -  he spent every summer holiday of his youth in one of the country's resorts, and had vague memories of stark, pounding electronic music emanating from club doorways late at night.

He makes a trip from his suburban home into the city centre determined to find some examples of this new music. After a lot of searching he comes up trumps: a compilation album called 'New Beat - Take 1'. He buys it on the spot and takes it home to listen to. As with most albums he's ever bought, he feels slightly cheated, after a couple of good tracks there's a fair bit of filler, and certainly no overriding 'sound' other than a somewhat slow and Euro Pop centric approach to House. Nothing like the aural fingerprint of Acid or Techno. But...

Some of the tracks pique his interest. They have a dark, early 80s synth heavy sound which reminds him of both the Synth Pop of his youth, and the mysterious music filtering out of those Belgian clubs as a child...

He has to wait till the very end of the album for the best of these - a track called 'Flesh' by A Split Second. The fascinating sleeve notes of the L.P. tell the story of how an already banging tune in the established Belgian style of 'Electronic Body Music' was played at the wrong speed (33 1/3 and +8 on the Technics deck) by an Antwerp DJ called Fat Ronny. The club went wild, and a new genre was born - Belgian producers trying to replicate the slower groove and dark timbres of this fateful bit of serendipity. The UK schoolboy gets more than a little obsessed by the tune...

The lad in question went on to form a career in dance music production, and after 25 years has decided to revisit this important and very personal piece of nostalgia, fashioning a complete, respectful and sample free rework of the track based on it's 'go slow' speed. 

This one is for the music mad schoolkid in all of us...

When you try to jog down a map of the Belgian electronic music scene you'll definitely have to highlight Goldfox' name for the Limburg area. Being one of the most recognizable players of the local scene, the ginger managed to solidify his name all over the country, leaving a charismatic and overall professional impression wherever he sets up camp.

The fox started out when he was 14, that adds up in spending more than the half of his natural life behind the 1s and 2s. Because he's a genuine music lover he likes to play out his vinyl treasure, containing a wide range of energetic house, techno, breaks and acid stompers. But every now and then he throws in a surprising twist, expressing his creativity.

His resume reads like a logical yet powerful climb of the ladder; Playing small venues and obscure events but also checking in behind the booth at Pukkelpop and Tomorrowland.

Apart from DJ'ing Goldfox is also a key figure when it comes to setting up parties and festivals. During the years he established himself as class-A promotor thanks to his memorable work for the old school concept Rave Our Souls and most recently Limburg hotspot Forty Five.

Booking the Fox ain't only about the beats, you're in for a huge deal of nightlife expertise.
