naturally I am of the age where I like my music slowed down - Belgian New Beat style. The story in #TSOB (The Sound of Belgium documentary on New Beat) that New Beat came from DJs slowing down HiNRG tracks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_beat

I have recently been experimenting with slowing down UK BLEEP Hardcore and it's lovely.

Why is Spotify full of faster versions of pop hits? Let’s bring you up to speed

Sped-up versions of existing songs are becoming more popular than the original versions. But who’s behind the trend?

The Guardian
"The Sound of Belgium explores the rich but untold story of Belgian dance music. From the dance halls with Decap organs to the golden days of Popcorn; from EBM and New Beat to Belgian house and techno.
At the end of the 80s, Belgium was taken by surprise by the New Beat, a once immensely popular, almost surreal type of dance music. Its unexpected but short lived success didn’t only leave a mark on a new generation of musicians in Belgium in the years to come; its eclectic mix of sounds and styles actually had its seeds in earlier decades.
A story that has been widely ignored by ‘serious’ music critics and the mainstream media in general, ‘The Sound of Belgium’ goes in search of the spirit of a nation and the people that danced to it."
