TNT
Clan is a new beat/Belgium Beat project from the masters of the genre –
Herman Gillis, Jo Casters and Roland Beelen – better known as Morton
Sherman Bellucci. This style of dance music rejuvenated the artistic and
rhythmic edge of dance music and may have been inspired by “Pump Up The
Volume” by M.A.R.R.S. from 1987. Many of the pieces that are a
conglomerate of New Beat feature simple yet heavy bass beat riffs –
disco, hip-hop, street, rock or house and transformed into a sample
foundation for various hidden or strange messages. Many are sexual and
are to the extreme of sampling porn film sounds or sexually suggestive
phrases. The overhaul of the mixes are the success of New Beat as many
were stripped down and EQ’ed with the sharp and deep recording that
presented a polished product.
“Blow
Up The D.J.” is one of my favorite tracks in the New Beat genre not
only the usage of the classic disco track by Kiss (“I Was Made For
Loving You”) but it also signifies the “Pump Up The Volume” influence.
This ReStructure Mix is to pay homage to this style of dance music which
I followed by ear with dedication but also found it as a rejuvenation
of dance music in the late 80s and its influence during the early 90s
dance scene.
