New beat was a genre from late-eighties Belgium, invented by slowing down techno, acid house, and ebm. It was also a precursor to hardcore techno, which originated in the new-beat scene.

This post continues the theme from the past few days.

Great stuff. Reminds me of my disco days, not too far from the Belgian border.

There's also ‘This is Belgium’ Part 2, where Soulwax recreate the slowed-down approach of new-beat, but from 90s' hardcore records. Sounds groovy as hell.
