New Beat

New Beat is a genre that emerged in Belgium during the late 1980s, characterized by its slow, hypnotic beats and dark, atmospheric synths. It blends elements of electronic body music (EBM), acid house, and industrial music, creating a moody yet danceable soundscape. Known for its innovative use of samples and a tempo that hovers around 115 BPM, New Beat became a nightclub sensation, influencing the evolution of European dance music.
