Do you know that one of the most successful and productive new beat producers from the 80s is this gentleman? Inside: Sherman (Electronic Beats TV) ruclips.net/video/h37hCdB86BM/видео.html
In Mexico there is a great fan base of New Beat. Dont forget watch The Sound Of Belgium documentay. Greetings from Mexico City, and thank you for invited to Zanias.
I played Belgian New Beat in a club called City Limits in the Bahamas one night. They didn't like it at all. Literally nobody was dancing. Should have gone to Mexico instead. 😂 I got to play Karen Finley's "Tales of Taboo" on University of Georgia college radio too. You would probably get arrested now if you did that. 🥸
@@B1SCOOPYes, the ONLY who really made New Beat in Mexico was Mateo Lafontaine in Década 2 but specially in Maria Bonita with his brother Mario Lafontaine.
It's always fascinating to watch these Blind Test videos of a genre that I'm not very familiar with. When someone says "this is the best bit!" and I'm totally not feeling it at all, I can't help but think that this is probably how someone feels about my favorite dance music, too.
Remember my uncle R.I.P he has a Greek restaurant and every monday he dress up like a martian to go to the Boccaccio to see Confetti's live He came back one day with two records Amnesia "Ibiza" and The Maxx "Cocaine" Greetings from Belgium
Although NB was relevant during a short period of time in the late 80's only, its influence on a variety of later styles should not be underestimated. Great selection!
I was waiting for Fatal Error from the start, and when it finally dropped my grin was so wide it almost hurt. Sometimes I feel like I'm on a small island in the middle of nowhere when it comes to enjoying New Beat, so it's awesome to see this here. Very much appreciate the curation of these tracks, and the stories and experiences shared by the participants. Cheers!
I don’t know a lot of this music, I’m just a kid from Detroit. But I love this series for some reason. I always find some new (old) tracks to listen to.
Ammmmmazing episode! I love New Beat so, so much. Thanks a lot for this incredible blind test! Greetings from Argentina. (I have to hit my turntable and wake up my neighbors with some good all gems from Belgium...get ready Buenos Aires, it´s going to be a long night!)
14:21, Round 9. It's amazing how a record could be well known in a distant place like mine, Argentina. A true must-have classic for NB collectors here. But, at the same time, a hard-to-guess track in this episode for great DJs/producers coming from the major cities in the world.
During the 1980s I would've hated this...yes hate. Now here I am really enjoying these and will be on the hunt for some ...what's it called..New Beat. Yep loved it.
During my school years, I got hold the Belgian new beat "Various - Sampleur Et Sans Reproche (SSR Compilation 1) 1989". I really liked the first track of Sacher Musak- "Gorba The Chief", partly because russian phrases from the soviet film "Осенний Марафон" were sampled there. Greetings from Russia!
As a Belgian born in the 80's, I never really experienced this genre. I was, however, waiting for "The Confetti's - The sound of C". I do remember that track very well from my childhood. :)
@@ElectronicBeatsTV from the podcasts of producers like Ro Maron, I got the impression New Beat right from the beginning was a "sellout" music too, as it was produced directly on demand of local Dj venues (by former Synthpop/New Wave musicians). The difference with Confetti's was that they started appealing to non-underground audience after storming the charts.
that 242 T-shirt that Twitch's wearing immediately made me wanna listen 2 some Skinny Puppy)) Andi rOOOXXX! thank you TLKMBTZ for another great BlindTest issue, U R da best
Marcos Salon, what a legend. Insider was also great, I remember banging Destiny like crazy at the club. Didn't know Ready Truth was into Bew Beat, I like his stuff on White Label.
It's amazing how many tiny micro scenes existed over time. I keep on saying that if you limited my music only to music that came out before the end of 80s i'd still never run out of new music to listen to.
Ciao and thank you for your very nice Video, which i like to share at Telegram and at Tribel, personally i only know a few New Beat Songs, Confettis with Sound of C, MAXX with Cocaine and Amnesia with Ibiza, but love them.. in 1988 i was 19 years old, great Times back then, one year later i started to do some Tracker Music with my Amiga Computer.. many greetings to Belgium from Brunswick in Germany and please stay safe, i hope to visit you in Belgium in the next time..
I remember (vaguely) hearing this on either Liaisons Dangereuses (Radio SIS Antwerp) on Thursday nights or on Radio Centraal (Pierre Elitair) on Sunday mornings back in the late eighties. Nostalgia from Belgium.
Wow! This selection was the most obscure so far 'I can't say much for EBM, dubstep and UK garage selections as I wasn't listening those genres) and of course very fine. And again nice bunch of new and old people (nails was scary though). Thank you.
from Kraftwork to Jean Michel Jarre, New Wave, started in Belgium, subgenres were created, darkwave, coldwave, darkwave into goth, then moved on to AB sounds = New Beat, AB stands for a disco in those days Ancient Belgique. In the New Beat era even britisch music producers came to belgium to check out what the new beat hype was about, from new beat we go to house, techno, subgenres again, .... Dutch Hardcore techno. Belgian Pioneers of New Wave, Front 242 and The Neon Judgement. greatings from Belgium.
i just cant help to smile through the video - even I have not ever been touched by this era and sound, all started for me in the 90s. Nevertheless its great to see how all of them live and feel the sound and though many are very cold at the beginning they melt troughout the tracks and show such emotions and energy its the greatest thing. thanks for this
Love this series keep it up!! I had that mandate my ass 12 but lost it moving house. Loved hearing it again made me have instant flashback to 89. So cool.
When I thought I’ve heard them all, there you go, discovering me 3 “new” new beat tracks! Will this ever end? I hope not! :) Loved this blind test so much, thank you!
I just learnt that R&S used to be named Ferrari Records then. I've a few of their records in my collection but obviously later stuff after the renaming
Where did you get this info? R&S (Renaat & Sabine) Records was always R&S since 1984 (I think). I think I have 1 or 2 of these Ferrari records too, but I doubt they are from before R&S was founded.
Ferrari Records = R&S records. Check the credits on those records. There were even records with the Ferrari logo on the sleeve and the R&S logo on the vinyl itselve.
@@peterm85I meant I only learned from this video here, where they talk about it at 10:00 mark in. I have records like Outlander Vamp, and used to think the logo looked a lot like the Ferrari logo. But I didn't know the record label used to also use the name "Ferrari" in their early days. Looks like the late 80s releases were when they had the Ferrari name and full copy logo of the prancing horse against the yellow background. But I never had seen them in record shops when I was buying a lot which was ~91 and later
@@mumfnah I misunderstood then. I was mostly curious, because I was gonna learn something new. :-) And I did, I didn’t know that the Ferrari record I had was part of R&S.
Ich LIEBE euer Format. Es ist immer super, auch wenn der Musikstil nicht immer mein Favorit ist. Diese Folge hier ist besonders gut. Nicht 100% mein Style - aber alle Protagonisten sind mega Sympathisch. Ich hab mich ein wenig verliebt. :-)
antes de pincharlo sabía que iba ganar los puntos belgas JDTwitch (gran Dj como Optimo) ENORME Blind Test! con el de EBM de lo mejor aquí! favorito track New Beat: La Rolls - Sure Is (24 Tracks Mix) (1988)
I saw a few of these blind tests before and already wondered why new beat was missing and here it is. I was 15 or 16 when most of these tracks came out and for several tracks just a few seconds were enough to know what it was but the archive in my head ain't as big as those of the attenders ofcourse. I would've picked Celcius instead of Hysteria from Amnesia tho as it was less known while it's still a great track.
That was tough. I've only heard 2 of these, and that was a long time ago. If there had been Warbeat or anything from Praga Khan, I would have had a better chance. :D
Shout out to Insider! I knew Voices after a second but it was hard for the rest. I hope there will be a part 2. I met Schicksal 2 months ago. He told me he was going to do a show with front 242. Amazing song.
Please note that this video is not filmed in real time. It’s edited to create some tension so that you in front of the screen can guess as well. It doesn’t say anything about how fast the participants recognised the track etc.
Soulwax Radio who did the mix, it likely the reason New Beat is no longer forgotten obscure genre. Check out "This Is Belgium, Part 1" if you haven't already, there's no better introduction of the scene.
Do you know that one of the most successful and productive new beat producers from the 80s is this gentleman?

Seeing JD Twitch gave me this idea: do a Scottish Techno episode!

or early-00’s electroclash
Yes, a PURE special.
I was introduced to many of these by listening to JD twitch mixes. Favourite DJ
Same here!

Fatal error fantastique this track
FINALLY, my first great score on one of these.. a 9.5/10. This is probably my favorite series on RUclips of all time.
I only missed the artist for "Monster of L" if anyone was curious
Awesome!
My favourite genre since the 80's❤❤❤
Belgian New Beat is such and inspirational genre!
So good, so good!
That Scarecrow 12" in the back is killing me. Good to see young people listening to stuff like this.
Pre X-Marks the Pedwalk
On Techno Drome International, which has a nice EBM / Industrial catalog.
I don’t know a lot of this music, I’m just a kid from Detroit. But I love this series for some reason. I always find some new (old) tracks to listen to.
Great!
Sheeesh ! Hard edge sound , greetings from Chicago ❤ y’all know we love industrial beats 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
What a trip down memory lane. I just to go out to this music back in the 80's, amazing times.
These episodes are like Christmas for me. I enjoy being introduced to old electronic genres I know very little of.
Keep it up!
Fantastic Blind Test ... only missing my favourite one "I sit on acid" by Lords Of Acid
To be honest, i had no clue what "belgium new beat" is. Turned out it's amazing. Need to listen to more of this stuff.
Great blind test, as always.
Glad you like it!
Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪 ❤
It's the godfather of all electronic genres you probably like. :D
Check out The Sound of Belgium compilation. Best collection of New Beat tunes
2manydjs "This Is Belgium Pt. 1" is best introduction. Entire history of the scene is captioned throughout the set.
Greetings from Belgium (loved Prestige Club in Antwerp, but also Amnesia, La Rocca, AB, … etc.)
Very cool Blind Test for a genre I've never explored before.
By the way, has to be said, my goodness Zanias is absolutely stunning! 😍
loved that shit when i just started to discover electronic music, in primary school still. love it to this day.
Ammmmmazing episode! I love New Beat so, so much. Thanks a lot for this incredible blind test! Greetings from Argentina. (I have to hit my turntable and wake up my neighbors with some good all gems from Belgium...get ready Buenos Aires, it´s going to be a long night!)
Great episode, electronic music is endless. Again a bunch of gems
Honestly, Andi did super well! You can really feel her passion for this music
Amazing to see younglings knowing these tracks titles. Great memories.
14:21, Round 9. It's amazing how a record could be well known in a distant place like mine, Argentina. A true must-have classic for NB collectors here.
But, at the same time, a hard-to-guess track in this episode for great DJs/producers coming from the major cities in the world.
It was also well known in France
Never even heard about this style, so fun to discover the tracks with the guests. Crazy edited again!
I love your t shirt 242
Great episode. Would love to see Twitch back for a 90s UK rave episode.
Love this. Another banger episode. Never stop with these
During the 1980s I would've hated this...yes hate. Now here I am really enjoying these and will be on the hunt for some ...what's it called..New Beat. Yep loved it.
During my school years, I got hold the Belgian new beat "Various - Sampleur Et Sans Reproche (SSR Compilation 1) 1989".
I really liked the first track of Sacher Musak- "Gorba The Chief", partly because russian phrases from the soviet film "Осенний Марафон" were sampled there.
Greetings from Russia!
Yas, another Blind Test. Love these Blind Tests so much!
Thanks for this one as well. Great stuff!
My favorite genre (sub-genre, sub-sub-genre, who cares).
You made me very happy today. Thanks TEB TV!
Missed one of my big favs from the genre in the test : Public Relation - Eighty Eight (1988 R&S Records)
Absolutely. Would have been a bit too easy to guess maybe that's why they didn't put it.
Oof, there goes my vinyl budget for this month. Great episode, as always
Amazingly I remembered most of these. Some great tracks from that era.
David ! 😊

That was Nougat Beat ;)
Oh I have been waiting for this one! I know every song. Like every song that was ever played at the Boccaccio in Destelbergen.
that 242 T-shirt that Twitch's wearing immediately made me wanna listen 2 some Skinny Puppy)) Andi rOOOXXX! thank you TLKMBTZ for another great BlindTest issue, U R da best
Need a Part II with some Public Relation.
and White House White, Secrets of China, Snowy Red (pre new beat), Caravan, Zsa Zsa La Boum, Trax 'Malfunction', Liaisons D,...
I didn't miss this, I always look out for these treats!
Thank you for this exposure to new music. I have no idea what this stuff is but love it.
Marcos Salon, what a legend. Insider was also great, I remember banging Destiny like crazy at the club. Didn't know Ready Truth was into Bew Beat, I like his stuff on White Label.
Amnesia - Hysteria absolute Timeless - Love This Tune
Best time spend on the internet

It's amazing how many tiny micro scenes existed over time. I keep on saying that if you limited my music only to music that came out before the end of 80s i'd still never run out of new music to listen to.

When I thought I’ve heard them all, there you go, discovering me 3 “new” new beat tracks! Will this ever end? I hope not! :)
Loved this blind test so much, thank you!
It will end when we can't find any more DJs who want to take part, which is already the case in some genres.
@@ElectronicBeatsTV give me a call, i was a rave dj in the 90s although i've mostly been doing production for the last 30 years :)
first time i heard about "New Beat" from Belgium....sounds great and so late 80´s....and Zanias is very attractive and sexy....by the way...;-)
probably the german agreppo style which appeared around the same time or a little bit later might be also sth to explore
8 out of 10, the Monster of L mislead me because they sampled the Amnesia - Boys from London main bass

Woah round 7 hit me, great song.
This series is great 🙂
Another great episode! Thanks!
This feels like exactly half way between Yello and DAF. But more dance. Not very familiar with this genre but sounds fun.
NB was Synthpop/New Wavers attempt at making their own version of House music.
Had suggested Andi Harriman. Glad she done well 😎
