Schicksal - 24 Hours EP
Hersteller
Schicksal is the alias of Rudi Huybrechts, from Hoboken, a small town near Antwerp. He started experimenting with synths and drum computers in 1982. Heavily inspired by Front 242's first album "Geography", DAF's elektronische körpermusik "Alles Ist Gut" and Kraftwerk's "Man Machine" and "Computer World", Rudi spent many hours programming and composing at home with just some gear and a tape recorder. Some of these tracks appeared on local compilations, but it was not until the hype of New Beat in Belgium that Schicksal gained real attention.
In 1988, Rudi persuaded Marc Grouls, the resident DJ of discotheque Prestige in Antwerp, to play the track "24 hours". All the people on the dancefloor went wild and the next day Schicksal signed a contract with Maurice Engelen for the release of a maxi-single on Subway Records.
This new edition includes all original tracks plus two new remixes of "24 Hours" and the new track "Fate".
