Shimanski Beats is a Ghent/Belgium-based electronic music project that brings together the sounds of analog and digital synthesizers with the love of groove. The music embraces styles such as Newbeat and Acid House (therefore an affiliation with the current Newbeat Revival in Belgium) as well as techno and different strands of house music. Danceability is one of the main characteristics, but there is also a faible for classic sounds from the 1980s and 1990s mixed with contemporary elements.
Often, though not always, Shimanski Beats tracks are produced live with hardware.
Live performance versions of recent Shimanski Beats tracks are available on the Youtube channel:
