New Beat was the first and last genre to be exclusively associated with Belgium. At that moment, I was running an independent record company, Antler Records. In the early eighties, we released a lot of electronic body music on the label (<strong>The Klinik,<\/strong> <strong>A Split Second<\/strong>, <strong>Poesie <\/strong><strong>Noire<\/strong>, <strong>Neon Judgement<\/strong>, <strong>Siglo XX<\/strong>, <strong>Snowy Red<\/strong> amongst others). In 1987, when New Beat started, I realised that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Belgian dance music was gaining popularity worldwide and got hyped all over the international music press. At the beginning of 1988, there were only a few New Beat records available to the DJs. So I built 3 more recording studios and hired young dance producers to produce New Beat records. The artists who were producing these records could make a living out of music and were able to invest in home studios. The fact that New Beat was banned from national radio contributed to the record sales. If anyone wanted to hear New Beat, they had no choice but to go to the clubs or else, to the record store. New Beat was the start of a successful new generation of dance producers, who would become very important in the future of Antler-Subway. During the heyday of New Beat, the company grew from a handful of employees in 1987 to 22 full-time employees in 89 with offices in Belgium, Holland, the US and the UK. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014What were your influences when you started making music?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014<\/strong>I don\u2019t know what influenced me specifically because I was listening to a lot of different stuff. From punk to disco, from New Wave to heavy metal. I think that molded me into what I do now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014Your first project was Shakti, right? How did you get into electronic music?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014<\/strong>That must have been in the mid-seventies. I started discovering the German electronic music. The early <strong>Tangerine Dream<\/strong>,<strong> Klaus Schulze<\/strong>, <strong>Can<\/strong>, <strong>Kraftwerk<\/strong>, all those groups were found in my record collection. My transition from record company owner to musician came in 1986 when Atari launched the ST version, a computer every musician wanted to own. I\u2019ve always been fascinated by technology and this invention was right up my alley. Soon I had my first home-recording studio and it turned out that combining my passions for music and technology was the perfect fit for me. That same year I\u2019ve made my first project <strong>Shakti<\/strong>, my career as a recording artist was launched.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014In 1987, you also released a single called <em>Blow Job (It\u2019s Hard to be President<\/em>) under the <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10075 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/118861971-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/118861971-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/118861971-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/118861971-585x585.jpeg 585w, https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/118861971.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>project Musical Reporters, right? Your music has always been famous for its sexually explicit lyrics. Did you ever have problems with censorship?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014<\/strong>Yeah, we had a lot of crazy things happen to us on tour. Back in the 90s we did a show in San Diego and before we went to the show our tour manager told us the sheriff wanted to talk to us, because back then it wasn\u2019t like now with every rapper talking about vaginas, it was controversial then. The sheriff came onto the tour bus with a list of 60 things we couldn\u2019t do on stage. I still have that list somewhere. One of the things was that you can\u2019t use the microphone in a sexual way or something. Yeah, it was a lot of rules and I asked the sheriff: do you want me to sign this? If I signed it, would be impossible with our show. So I just covered myself and signed it, I went on stage scared a little. It was a lot of fun too, on the left of the stage we had cops and on the right of the stage we had cops, and they were having the time of their life onstage with <strong>Lords <\/strong><strong>of Acid<\/strong> and all the girls while we played \u201cPussy\u201d. A lot of people have told me over the years that by listening to <strong>Lords of Acid<\/strong> they could express their sexuality. There\u2019s nothing wrong in singing about sex. At the end of the day sex is the most normal thing in the world. It may be one of the few things that we all have in common.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014Major Problem released <em>Acid Queen <\/em>in 1988. It\u2019s considered to be the first single of Lords of Acid, right? Was MP a more stable formation from which Lords of Acid were born?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u2014<strong>Major Problem<\/strong> was one my projects on the Kaos Dance label. In those days every production team had dozens of projects.\u00a0It was a very creative time with the potential to sell a lot of records and to experience a lot of fun. The Belgian music scene was booming. At the same moment, Acid House music was becoming popular in London with illegal raves popping up in disused warehouses. I really loved the squelching sounds and deep basslines of the Acid House Music (Roland TB-303) but it had nothing to do with New Beat, so I came up with the idea to blend Acid House with New Beat. It sounded way different than a regular New Beat record or a typical Acid House record. That\u2019s when I decided to launch another sublabel, named Kaos Records. Kaos gave me the freedom to experiment with this new style, which was a mixture between New Beat and Acid House. I called it Hard Beat. Most of the records on the Kaos catalogue were made in a short period of time by the same production team. <strong>Lords of Acid<\/strong> and <strong>Major <\/strong><strong>Problem<\/strong> were two of the projects in this style of music.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014In the song \u201cI Still Have a Dream,\u201d another single of Major Problem, you used the voice of Fan Dl Kaos of Flash Zero. Can you please tell us more about this collaboration?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u2014I\u2019ve always been a fan of Manolo (<strong>Flash Zero<\/strong>) and it was a real honor for me to have his vocals on the \u201cI Still have a Dream\u201d record, a trend-setting record of its time. I will be very happy to see him again at the DarkMad festival.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014Why did you release your records under so many different names?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u2014Back in the 80s, I was in a lot of projects, because I was very creative and I couldn\u2019t wait six months to bring out another effort.<strong> Praga Khan<\/strong> was one of those names and so were<strong> Lords of Acid<\/strong>. I probably had 25 projects. That <em>Sit on Acid<\/em> record took off, and people asked me to tour, so I had to think of a name.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10078 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/R-41896-1493644562-6943.jpeg-300x293.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/R-41896-1493644562-6943.jpeg-300x293.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/R-41896-1493644562-6943.jpeg-585x572.jpg 585w, https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/R-41896-1493644562-6943.jpeg.jpg 599w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\u2014<em>I sit on Acid<\/em> was released in 1988, this time as Lords of Acid. How was the genesis of this classic song?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u2014It\u2019s something you can see in different ways. You can see it in a sexual way, but you can see it in a drug way. We just wanted to play with the lyrics. Like the song \u201cPussy,\u201d when you\u2019re an innocent kid there\u2019s nothing wrong with it, but when you\u2019re an adult and you listen to it, it\u2019s something else. That\u2019s really what I like \u2013 teasing people and trying to check out how far I can go. The good thing about <strong>Lords of Acid<\/strong> is that, over the years, we could always play all ages shows. Other bands who would copy <strong>Lords of <\/strong><strong>Acid<\/strong> \u2013 because it was successful and they thought that\u2019s what they had to do \u2013 would take it a little bit further. But when you take it further, then it loses the humor. That\u2019s always been very important to <strong>Lords of Acid<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 that it\u2019s not over the top. It\u2019s tongue-in-cheek humor. When you\u2019re a band and you try to copy <strong>Lords of Acid<\/strong> and you take it further then it becomes cheap. It needs to be funny. It was a problem \u2013 we didn\u2019t do a lot of concerts in Belgium or in Europe because people all came out to see a sex show. If you want to see a sex show, you\u2019d better go to a sex club. With the shows we\u2019ve always tried to create a social experience. People get dressed up and they\u2019re part of the show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014<em>Lust<\/em> from 1991 was recorded in 3 weeks. Did you ever imagine that it would become <\/strong><strong>a classic?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u2014It all started with the success of \u201cI Sit on Acid\u201d in the US. We then got a call from Caroline Records asking us to make an album we said we could but we were touring as <strong>Praga Khan<\/strong> in Japan. We said we would be back around Christmas but had to leave again around January 15th for our UK tour, we went into the studio and did one song every day. The same thing happened with the Mortal Kombat album with <strong>The <\/strong><strong>Immortals<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014In <em>Voodoo-U<\/em> from 1994 and <em>Our Little Secret<\/em>, from 1997 the sound is a bit more industrial. Did you think that you had done everything in New Beat?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u2014In those days, <strong>Lords of Acid<\/strong>\u2019s music was a combination of the late New Beat\/early techno sound and the US industrial sound. We used the bass lines and synth riffs of the European sound and added industrial guitar sounds. This created a new sound. In 1994, when <em>Voodoo-U<\/em> got released, I got a lot of phone calls from famous American rock stars who were raving about the album. To me it was just a logical step in the evolution of the sound of <strong>Lords of Acid<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014<em>Farstucker, <\/em>the album from 2001<em>, <\/em>was a bit more rock instead. Lords of Acid has changed a lot through the years, don\u2019t you agree?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u2014I\u2019m always looking for new challenges, and I try to make each album different. At the end of the day, it\u2019s still dance<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10081 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/R-128196-1156281886.jpeg-300x270.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/R-128196-1156281886.jpeg-300x270.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/R-128196-1156281886.jpeg-585x526.jpg 585w, https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/R-128196-1156281886.jpeg.jpg 598w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> music, and if you use techno sounds of rock sounds\u2026. A lot of people think dance music is disco. But to me dance music is anything you can dance to. Salsa and Rhumba are dance music. I don\u2019t see why <strong>Iggy Pop<\/strong>\u2019s \u201cThe Passenger\u201d isn\u2019t dance music and punk. I always try to experiment with styles, and I don\u2019t want to put myself in a position where I can\u2019t do this or that because I don\u2019t like restrictions. If I\u2019m restricted, I can\u2019t be creative anymore. I do what I feel, and what I feel is what I do. That\u2019s why it always sounds new and innovative, because I try to keep up with the newest sounds. I\u2019m a music addict, and I listen to a lot of stuff going on. What makes <strong>Lords of Acid<\/strong> special is that there are no rules. We did a country song called \u201cDon\u2019t Kill for Love,\u201d we did a reggae song, \u201cMarihuana in your Brain,\u201d we did drum and bass with the song \u201cVoodoo-u.\u201d We can do whatever we want as long as there\u2019s a <strong>Lords of Acid<\/strong> sauce over the top.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014Lords of Acid last album, <em>Pretty in Kink<\/em>, published in 2018, was funded using Kickstarter. Do you think that crowdfunding is the best ways for releasing an album nowadays? What can you tell us about the album too?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u2014The making of<em> Pretty in Kink<\/em>, for me, was completely different. It was great to have cooperation between myself and the fans. The fans were involved from the start, from the beginning of the recording up through the final mix of the album. The involvement went from choosing the title of the album, choosing the subjects of the songs, and being asked their opinions about demos. They were really with me the whole time. It was interesting because I also asked them a lot of stuff, doing polls like \u201cWhat\u2019s your favorite <strong>Lords of Acid<\/strong> album?\u201d and \u201cWhat\u2019s your favorite song?\u201d It was very creative. I got a lot of feedback from diehard fans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014Lords of Acid had a lot of different lead singers\/front women in the past. Was if difficult to find the right person?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u2014Our new Singer is from Belgium, and for me, it was good to have someone from Belgium because in the past, when I\u2019ve worked with American singers, it\u2019s like a long-distance thing. They need to record it in LA and send it over. It\u2019s always so much easier if you\u2019re together in the studio. We had the time to record demos, go back home to listen to them and get into the song, and then record it for real. Plus, the thing with this new singer, Marieke Bresseleers\u2014her nickname is \u201cLittle Bloody Mary\u201d\u2014of all the people I\u2019ve worked with, she has the widest vocal range. She can go really high, she can go really deep, but still be very warm. It was nice to work with a singer who is classically schooled as then you can do more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10084 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/d0838fa6f8d040568d25410f48dff408-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/d0838fa6f8d040568d25410f48dff408-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/d0838fa6f8d040568d25410f48dff408-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/d0838fa6f8d040568d25410f48dff408-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/d0838fa6f8d040568d25410f48dff408-585x585.jpg 585w, https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/d0838fa6f8d040568d25410f48dff408.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\u2014With one of your projects, The Immortals, you made the soundtrack for the videogame Mortal Kombat. What can you tell us of this experience?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u2014That\u2019s a strange story. We were touring in Japan, and we got a phone call from America. I\u2019m a gamer myself, and they knew I was a gamer, and they asked me if I had the opportunity to write an album for a new game called Mortal Kombat, coming out in fall, if I would do it. So I said I would if they would send me a console with what they had of the game so far. That was crazy because I received the game, but there was a lot of stuff still missing with the programming. I could play the game but only in the early stages. But by doing that, I learned to know the characters and got a lot of inspiration. It only took us a couple of weeks because we\u2019d play the game and go to the studio, and then repeat the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u2014<strong>Next year, you are going to tour also under your Praga Khan alias, are you going to <\/strong><strong>release any new album?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u2014There\u2019s not really a new album in the planning at this moment.

Fans in the US will really appreciate it. They\u2019ve been following my career for so many years and it\u2019s 20 years ago since we played a <strong>Praga Khan<\/strong> show in the US.
