The Sound of Belgium

00:07:42 And at times, these were all playing simultaneously.

00:10:58 Ostend club The Groove, became the premier place for these new sounds to be experienced.

00:13:27 Normally a club opens at 9 pm. But the Popcorn opened at 11 am.

00:17:17 "Comin' Home Baby" by Mel Tormé is a Popcorn classic.

00:20:23 And I'd sell them for about 50 euros.

00:23:45 To follow the evolution of modern music.

00:28:24 We called it the music of DJ TC in the Carrerra.

00:30:54 It was simply impossible to find.

00:33:54 The bass deepened and now you could dance to it. Suddenly, you could really hear everything.

00:36:36 It allows me to go crazy, right?

00:40:00 For me, coming from New York.

00:43:45 If they didn't jump high enough, we'd just go back to the studio.

00:46:52 A Belgian grandmother.

00:49:28 That's how we did it. Some samples here and there.

00:52:50 It was all artificial. There was no pure talent involved.

00:55:52 No, New Beat is dead! It's dead!

00:58:28 These are three oscillators which can disrupt each other in a chaotic way.

01:02:04 It was kind of an aggressive sound, which I liked.

01:05:00 You have no idea. It was like turning a completely new page.

01:07:50 It hadn't been done before. Everything was possible.

01:11:34 The after-after club.

01:14:50 I was playing records at Café d'Anvers, when people came in that never went dancing.

01:17:34 Three months ago, the Mayor of Affligem ordered the closure of Extreme.

300:03:05 Sometimes even more.
