The originators of the sound of Belgium, 1989. Hard New-Beat Acid music. Made by the likes of Maurice Engelen, Morton-Sherman-Belluci, Lords of Acid, Miss Nicky Trax, Jade 4U, Snowy Red, The Confetti's, Kings Of Agreppo, Acts of Madmen, Dirty Harry, Antler-Subway, Erotic Dissidents, Kaos! Records, Marc Grouls, Zsa Zsa La Boum, Little Little, R&S Records and many more heroes from the Benelux Region.
It was time to go in hiding. Time to fucking raid the Belgian back catalogues and hijack that old sound. Pumping new energy into a long forgotten sub-genre which was more influential than many would care to believe. A trip to darkest Belgium was undertaken in early 2005, back to the spiritual home of New-Beat. One windswept night in Destelbergen, the formula was rediscovered in a local bar. It was found at the bottom of a Duvel glass and was right there. In drunken haste a bus journey back to Ghent was undertaken and V/Vm set to work on recreating that old Acid vibe for one last journey. This is for you, the people of the Benelux region. For those Luxembourg girls out there who i am yet to meet. This is the sound of eighty-nine, two thousand and six style.
Since that trip what has followed is renewed interest in the old format. V/Vm has released a 12" maxi-single titled "i wanna fuck miss nicky trax", a compact disc "sabam" named after the Belgian sample clearing authorities and most recently a 12" on WeMe records from Brussels called "Made in Belgium".
Click the band website to order any of these new-beat inspired releases and relive the past today, support the old style. There is a microsite via the link which will provide you with basic information about the genre. It's ready to rise again. From Belgium with love.
