New Beat

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

New Beat music was a contemporary genre to techno and house music from Detroit and Chicago respectively, although not intrinsically linked. New Beat originated in Belgium in the late 1980s and was a forerunner of European house music.

Legend has it that New Beat was invented in the nightclub Boccaccio in Destelbergen near Ghent when DJ Marc Grouls played a 45rpm Electronic Body Music (EBM) record at 33rpm, with the pitch control set to +8. The track in question was Flesh by A Split-Second.

In addition to A Split Second, the genre was also heavily influenced by other EBM acts such as Front 242 and The Neon Judgement, as well as the likes of Fad Gadget, Gary Numan and Anne Clark.

New Beat later incorporated more techno and acid house influences and morphed into Eurodance, a commercial style of dance music that dominated European music charts in the early 1990s with artists like 2 Unlimited and Technotronic.
