{"product_id":"classics","title":"Classics","description":"\u003cp\u003eFew producers have had the same seismic impact on techno and rave music as Joey Beltram. 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.
