Style: The best Electro-Music around and beyond. (From Tech to Trance via Cumbia!)

PAST: The man is a DJ all right ; in the early 80’s he was ERIC B during funky NEW WAVE nights all over Europe he dominated NEW BEAT at Bocaccio and spearheaded La Rocca for 10 years in a row, right up to Who’s Who’s Land, if you know what this mean… (the triumvirate of legendary dance temples).
He made quite a few dancerecords whether as composer, producer or editor on tons of record labels (PIAS, R&S, Accor, Afrotraxx, Sony…) and under a pile of aliases (of which CALVIN STONES is just one…).
But since 1998, ERIC BEYSENS is ERIC POWA B and rediscovering himself, picking up the nrg of Eric B, that definitely changed Belgian dance music as a matter of turntables.

PRESENT&FUTURE:
So, electro is back in effect again, coming from a generation born under the wings of Kraftwerk, Gary Numan, New Order or Depeche Mode… Here ERIC POWA B re-finds his personal structures but also his guardian angels and his demons which made him able to release the party beast inside during almost 25 years!
On Surprise (home of Vive La Fête, Mascotte, The Backlash, Sickboy,Onderklank,Sierra Sam…) he returns with eleven sonic, independent dancetracks made of contrasts, anger, enthusiasm and electronic respirations and still forming one whole.
