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.

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.
Those where the good times for music
