Belgian label Music Man Records presents Boccaccio Life 1987-1993, a new compilation offering a fresh perspective on the legacy of the iconic Belgian club Boccaccio -- often associated with the short-lived New Beat movement. The 40-track compilation highlights the raw and futuristic early house and techno sounds that were heard in the pioneering club. Located in rural Destelbergen (Belgium), just a stone's throw from Ghent, Boccaccio has secured its place among legendary venues like Paradise Garage in New York and The Haçienda in Manchester. Boccaccio Life 1987-1993 is carefully curated by resident DJ Olivier Pieters and club regular Stefaan Vandenberghe, standing as the ultimate testament to a club that was more than just a venue. This compilation stands as a testament to an innovative time in electronic music, capturing the raw, futuristic sounds of early house and techno. It sheds light on another side of Boccaccio, one that goes far beyond the short-lived New Beat scene. A carefully curated selection of 40 tracks, resonating with those who were there by offering familiar classics, while also reaching a new generation-those who never experienced it firsthand. While not always the obvious hits, these tracks have gracefully withstood the test of time, and were exclusive to Sundays at Boccaccio. Now, they are finally available to experience together in one collection, offering a timeless snapshot of a unique era. Featuring Age Of Chance, Revelation, NJOI, Simon Sed, E-Dancer, Tronikhouse, Suburban Knight, Robert Armani, Edwards & Armani, Human Resource, Fred Brown, Sheer Taft, Basex, 2 Men From Jersey, A Homeboy, A Hippie & A Funki Dredd, Steve Poindexter, Bobby Konders, 33 1/3 Queen, A Guy Called Gerald, Mental Mayhem, The D.O.C., Mellow Man Ace, Tyree, Blake Baxter, Yvette, Alice D In Wonderland, Todd Terry presents CLS, Frankie Bones, LFO, Frank De Wulf, The Orb, Frankie Knuckles, QX-1, Pleasure Zone, Egotrip, The Gherkin Jerks, Mr. Fingers, Laurent X, Joeski, and Virgo.
