Article: Patrick de Meyer lives in the sleepy Belgian town of Den Der Monde, where he runs a clothes shop with his wife. Up in the attic, however, is an array of equipment perfect for the New Beat Creator -- Oberheims, Akais and Rolands are stacked all over the place.
Patrick released his first Turbo 99 track 'Amore Me Amore', a parody of Italian romance, with the help of a rich cousin. "We did it in a very drunk situation," he remembers.
The second release, 'Don't Steal My Joy', reached Number Twelve, but after a couple of flops and line-up changes the name was slimmed to T-99 and the nucleus paired down to Patrick and collaborator Guy.
The first T-99 release, 'Invisible Sensuality', displayed the strength of Patrick's classical training, whilst his 'Iuhaha' disc (as Tragic Error) rates as one of New Beat's biggest floor fillers.
"The art of being a good New Beat producer," according to Patrick, "is to find a hypnotising beat. Some people say New Beat is rubbish, but I'm working from nine to five in the studio and it's difficult to find something of interest, something that's hypnotising."
His influences range from Zappa to Stravinsky, Bartok to Front 242.
"I think that you can make New Beat with some culture in it, something that it's possible to listen to at home. New Beat has its qualities -- it simplifies all that busy universal dance music, condenses it into a very small area. It is simple but it has something to say."
