Abuela's Song of the Day (Mar 9)

NEWBEAT - Look So Good https://youtu.be/KHG3M3UqHBc
cw: lens flares

First comeback for these 5th gen boys. Always such a shame when these new groups struggle to afford proper clothes. 😅 Most of these boys were backup dancers for A.C.E while their maknae is still in high school???? Lort have mercy....

Oh right, the song. Well, the song is pretty typical fluff dance pop but really, you're probably going to be distracted by the dancing anyway.

Finally got around at lunch time today to put all the track names on the mix I had uploaded last week. Mostly #belgian #newbeat #music some with #english lyrics and some with #french lyrics and even some #german (track Tanzen). #djmix #dj #mix #tape #cassette

I also digitized another mixtape over lunch. Not too much drops / loss of quality despite the age, thanks to the fact that I had made the recording on a metal tape (Scotch XSM IV - they were pretty expensive back then compared to the Maxell and BASF type II I also used and quite a bit more than the Supertape (Realistic).

"Le New Beat mix (countdown)". (Mostly) Belgian New Beat.

I'll post the track listing on mixcloud once they've finished processing.

Lol, this mix I had done is definitely Belgian new beat, but I threw in TC Matic in there with "oh la la la" 🤣 I had some sense of humor. Also used electrica salsa by OFF (Sven vath). That's the second mix I found where I used that track. The other I already digitised but this latest is still on #tape

I need some #FediHelp 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.

I've been on a bit of a music spending spree recently, got some CDs, one of which arrived in the post this morning, and I discovered that A Split Second have a Bandcamp presence, so I bought a couple of their albums that I used to have on vinyl way back when. Living my best retro-electro-industrial life!

They're here: https://marcickxasplit-second.bandcamp.com/
