Hailing from Queens, New York, Beltram was a key architect of the early '90s rave explosion and responsible for some of the most influential electronic records of the era - and it was Belgium’s R\u0026amp;S Records that gave many of these tracks their first home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally compiled and released by R\u0026amp;S in 1996, \u003cem\u003eClassics\u003c\/em\u003e brings together the core of Beltram’s groundbreaking early output - namely the \u003cem\u003eBeltram Vol. 1 (\u003c\/em\u003e1990) and \u003cem\u003eBeltram Vol. 2 \u003c\/em\u003e(1991) EPs, alongside the legendary Second Phase productions ‘Mentasm’ and ‘Mind To Mind’ (1991), plus a selection of aliases and collaborative work from the same period, including tracks under Mental Mayhem, Open Mind, and Disorder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow remastered and reissued as a 2LP set for 2025, \u003cem\u003eClassics\u003c\/em\u003e is available on vinyl for the first time since 2006, offering a long overdue opportunity to own these timeless cuts in their purest form. Across the 13 tracks, you'll hear the sheer force and innovation that made Beltram a household name in underground techno.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntegral to this collection are ‘Jazz 303’ and ‘Psycho Bass,’ co-produced with Norwegian techno innovator Per Martinsen (aka The Alien), which stand out for their experimental, forward-facing sound - highlighting a futuristic edge even within Beltram’s already pioneering catalogue. Elsewhere, his Second Phase project with Mundo Muzique delivers the seminal ‘Mentasm’ and ‘Mind To Mind,’ two foundational tracks that introduced the infamous “hoover” sound to dancefloors worldwide. Rounding out the set are deeper cuts under his aliases Mental Mayhem, Disorder, and Open Mind, capturing the breadth of Beltram’s restless creativity and technical command during his peak R\u0026amp;S years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; font-family: sans-serif; color: rgb(30, 30, 30); margin: 0px;\"\u003eA1.

As an artist, Djrum has formed a reputation for his unique fusion of a range of genres ranging from jazz, hip hop and dubstep to ambient and techno. His music swells with oceanic bass laded beats, cavernous atmospherics and deeply emotive melodies. An accomplished DJ his compositional approach feels like a natural collage of his influences which has seen him release for the likes of the Zenker Brothers Ilian Tape imprint as well as the influential 2nd Drop label, plus remixes for Ninja Tune and Domino. Felix now steps up to the plate at R\u0026amp;S with one of his most visionary releases to date. Deeply meditative melodies twist and turn through stuttering rhythms and pulsing low bass, hypnotic pads and woozy atmospherics. Manuel’s music somehow manages to retains the urgency and dynamic pressure of the dance floor with the intimacy and elegant detailing of the best headphone music. A natural fit for R\u0026amp;S, there is a full length Djrum album in the pipeline in 2018 - looks like it’s going to be an exciting year ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"R\u0026S","offers":[{"title":"12\" - Black","offer_id":55952477716811,"sku":"R3876-5172","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/RS1715.jpg?v=1763734600"},{"product_id":"children-of-the-sea","title":"Children Of The Sea","description":"\u003cp\u003eMalta’s Human Safari returns to R\u0026amp;S Records, building on the momentum of his 2023 debut ‘Sax Paradiso’, with another EP of fast, physical club music on ‘Children Of The Sea’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePropulsive opener ‘Children Of The Sea’, balances tensile strings and frenzied percussion fused around a high-tempo techno framework. ‘Jazz Affair’ follows suit but shifts the mood inward, pairing feverish, hypnotic drum programming with expressive instrumentation - layering drifting piano chords, fragile pads and a winding bassline that lends the track a kinetic pull.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Turbulence At The Orchestra’ draws from the raw spirit of ’90s warehouse techno, weaving in the sounds of sensationalist news reports on illegal raves of the time and overall diving into darker territory, led by a foreboding, spiralling 303 line and punctuated with dramatic horn flares..
