The Sound of Belgium explores the rich but untold story of Belgian dance music.
From the dance halls with Decap organs to the golden days of Popcorn;
From EBM and New Beat to Belgian House and Techno.
A chronicle of unique popular music, The Sound of Belgium goes in search of the spirit of a nation and the people that danced to it.
At the end of the 80s, Belgium was taken by surprise by the New Beat, a once immensely popular, almost surreal type of dance music. Its unexpected but short lived success didn’t only leave a mark on a new generation of musicians in Belgium in the years to come; It’s eclectic mix of sounds and styles actually had its seeds in earlier decades.
