Schicksal
24 Hours
Schicksal is the alias of Rudi Huybrechts coming from Hoboken, a small town near Antwerp. He started experimenting with synths and drum computers in 1982. Heavily inspired by Front 242's album 'Geography', DAF's 'Alles Ist Gut' and Kraftwerk, Rudi spent lot of hours programming and composing at home with limited 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 attention. In 1988 Rudi persuaded Marc Grouls, the resident DJ of discotheque Prestige in Antwerp, to play the track '24 hours'. That led to a record deal and Schicksal released a maxi single. This reissue includes three remixes and two other tracks.
