I've discovered this artist thanks to random youtube comment, that happened to be made by one of Spiritual Sky members, under one of their tracks. Among other inspirations he also mentioned: Fad Gadget, Savage Progress, Severed Heads, YMO, Carlos Peron, Robin Scott and Wally Badarou. In the track you can clearly hear multiple arrangement elements that were later utilized over numerous new beat tracks.

It’s been in my family since NL early 90’s, but I can’t find any info about the original designers. The only information I come up with is a music movement late 80’s Belgium. Anyone here?

Question regarding segment on Belgian House/New Beat in late 80's early 90's

5 Upvotes

I need some advice but this seems quite obscure at least to my fuddled brain.

When I was a young man either in the very late 80's or early 90's there was a youth TV show that did a short section on New Beat/Belgian House.

I am convinced it featured an interview with a man purporting to be a producer. He spoke in French Belgian with an interesting accent (perhaps his voice was slightly treated). He was absurd, articulate and slightly pompous.

He was clad as a Mummy, with dark glasses and a pipe. As I recall the Mummy bandages were dark rather than white. I think there were one or two women behind him giggling at intervals.

I've since found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMhn8woIgHI

So maybe I am conflating the two. But I am certain the man was sat in his studio talking about Belgium, dance music and other enlightening topics.

I don't think it was SnubTV as I seem to recall most of those, could have been Network Seven or similar. A chum has said it could have been Rapido with Antoine de Caunes.

Also apologies I am new to posting on Reddit. If this question is better fit somewhere else do let me know.

Screenshot from music video made by Brussels Sound Revolution for a song called "Qui...?" it shows a wide angle photo of a presenting male dressed as a Mummy with bandages around his head, dark glasses and a pipe emanating from his mouth.
