INFO< br>
The year is 1989 and it's the peak of the New Beat craze that swept E urope and the world with Belgium at its epicenter. Not limited to records and cl ubs, the New Beat lifestyle was marketed to death with all sorts of fashion item s, a plethora of accessories and...erotic videos.
Erotica, sensuality , and sexuality have always been part of New Beat's DNA, but our jaws still drop ped to the floor when we first laid eyes upon an erotic New Beat VHS deadstock g athering dust in a forgotten video store in the middle of nowhere in Switzerland .
So we did what every New Beat fan would have done, we watched the v ideo and cringed (at its low budget production values and tacky male gaze) while we were transported to 1989 Belgium, with the bodies, poses, styles and backdro ps you'd expect from that bygone era.

Our ears, however, were in for a treat. The video's OST us es almost the very same tracklist as one of the countless New Beat compilations marketed as LPs: King of the Beat, instantly recognizable among many for its yel low front cover featuring a stamp with King Baudoin's profile.
That r ecord was actually a fake compilation seemingly gathering several artists but in fact entirely composed by the same trio. It offers a lovely snapshot of various moods and styles found within the New Beat genre: downright erotic tracks, prot o-Goa numbers, Orientalist takes on exotic sounds, tracks driven by iconic film samples, and tracks built around silly samples, such as an elephant's trumpet. And then some.
That's when we decided to reissue this co mpilation. While many New Beat tracks have been played and compiled to death, th ere are still brilliant records to rescue from oblivion, and this is one of them .
The entire release has been remastered and will be rei ssued in LP + digital formats. Liner notes are written by Geert Sermon. And the utterly tacky front cover is a detail from the VHS original artwork.
