Stroom 〰 win big again with reissue of DJ Bert &amp; Eagle’s little-known, cult Belgian organ 7” I Am Your Master / Import, newly restored, remastered and re-cut to 12” for the DJs and collectors.

Known to belgo-philes as an early example of the crossover between Italo-disco and Belgian dance music, call it Belgalo if you will, was the first release by Christoff Wybouw, who would go on to make some A-grade New Beat and early rave techno in his time. 

The A-side’s <i>Import</i> is a natty beauty rolling out cascading arpeggios on a jazz organ that was purportedly also played by Arnold Schwarzenegger prior to purchase by Wybouw’s mum’s nursing home. Whatever, it’s a maaad bit of popcorn dance music, perching Wybouw’s dubbed-out, Dracula-inspired lyrics on a proper perky little groove certain to light up any wayward ‘floor.

On the B-side, <i>I Am Your Master</i> goes one step beyond with a more hypnotic, sleepwalking sorta groove possessed by minor key drones and fetishistic lyrics. Again, it’s very Belgian-sounding and brooding in that off key, sizzled style that we absolutely love around these parts.
