Jerome Hill : New Beats the House (Belgian Odyssey part 1) by JeromeHill

People talk about Detroit as being the place that shaped the techno sound, but you don’t often hear about the Belgians, who for me and many others were equally important and had their own individual and harder sound which gradually morphed through New Beat and Hard Beat to Acid, Rave, Techno and even Trance..
Here’s a mix, recorded in one take on 2 technics, one of the stylus’ is completely cained so apologies for any sound degradation..
These are some of my favourite New Beats to come out of Belgium in the late 80′s and there are a couple of later Techno/New Beat tracks on there too.. Two tracks on this mix weren’t made in Belgium, but could have been (prizes if you can name em both!)
Enjoy !
