What can be said about Joey Beltram¡Çs ¡ÆEnergy Flash¡Ç that hasn¡Çt be said already! The track still gets rinsed, week in, week out, across radio stations, clubs and festivals, testimony to the sheer importance of this techno classic.

Released originally in 1990 on the R&S Records label, ¡ÆBeltram Vol. 1¡Ç included the aforementioned ¡ÆEnergy Flash¡Ç, alongside three equally ground-breaking dance tracks that possibly get overshadowed by the big lead track. But tracks like ¡ÆSubsonic Bass¡Ç broke the mould and went on to influence a raft of rave and drum ¡Æn¡Ç bass tunes, thanks in part to its use of the now legendary ¡Æhoover¡Ç bass sound. The sinister acid of ¡ÆJazz 3033¡Ç still sounds as fresh today as it did 33 years ago, and the menacingly titled ¡ÆPsycho Bass¡Ç reveals the EP¡Çs most passive moment, as its solid breakbeat cuts through ethereal tones and chugging synths.

¡ÆBeltram Volume 1¡Ç has been remastered by Beau Thomas at Ten Eight Seven Mastering, and the release comes in an updated sleeve, faithfully recreating the 1990 packaging.
