22.02 International EBM Day @ De Casino, St-Niklaas, B |
BodyBeats Productions & De Casino proudly present :
22.02.2025
INTERNATIONAL EBM DAY (-2D)
PORTION CONTROL
ARMAGEDDON DILDOS + TYSKE LUDDER
DELERITAS + SKREN + DJ BORG
De Casino - St-Niklaas - B
As the title suggests, this will be a day on which we at BodyBeats celebrate one of our beloved music genres: Electronic Body Music! A dark but pounding music style, perhaps not invented as such, but certainly best refined and exploited by our national EBM icons Front 242. Don't expect Kraftwerk, DAF or the aforementioned pioneers, but a fine selection from their rich and varied legacy!

BodyBeats Productions & Barock present:
12.04 A SPLIT-SECOND + THE JUGGERNAUTS
Barock - Brugge - B
Saturday 12th April. EBM evening in the Barock in Bruges with 2 leading band from the Belgian underground scene in concert.
Founded in 1985, A SPLIT SECOND is one of the pioneers of EBM music. Their role in the development of this genre of music in the 80s is well known. Their single ‘Flesh’ is often credited as the late 80s precursor to New Beat. This track was played by DJs in the kingdom's biggest nightclubs, but at a slower tempo. This mix of EBM, Acid and House music gave birth to New Beat. Which makes A SPLIT SECOND a historic band. Its industrial rhythms and dark melodies gave EBM a real identity in the world of electronic music.
Founded in 2010, The Juggernauts are known for their hard-hitting EBM sound. Contemporary EBM with industrial elements. In the spirit of Front 242. Renowned in the world of EBM for regenerating the genre's renaissance, without becoming nostalgic, but bringing a new dynamic to the game.
