What is New Beat?

New Beat emerged in the late 1980s as the result of slowing down EBM and synthpop tracks in Belgian clubs. This style became the precursor of genres such as techno, trance, and rave, influencing the entire European scene. It combines a slow tempo, heavy beats, cold synthesizers, and hypnotic rhythms.
