Belgian New Beat is indebted as much to Acid House as it is to Darkwave and EBM, though the former provides the basic framework for this movement of underground club music. The story begins with Belgian DJs who unknowingly (or intentionally?) were spinning 45rpm EBM records at 33rpm speed, and thus developed a taste for slower beats. This take on the fledging Acid movement in conjunction with an already rich native EBM scene created some truly unique club mixes. "Something Scary" was the debut 12" track from duo Zsa Zsa "La Boum", which also appeared on the essential compilation "New Beat - Take 3" (which also features Miss Nicky Trax's "Acid in the House, another classic of the genre). Big beats, bending leads, and a perfect sample from "The Entity" makes this an unforgettable dance track.
