Here you'll find a list of articles about New Beat, as they were featured in several different magazines. These are being offered at this site because so many years after their original press release they are almost impossible to find. Please be aware they are only featured here for informational purposes and that for all articles the original copyright of the author remains unchanged. It is recommended strongly they are not used for any commercial means whatsoever. As far as it was possible the origin and original author of each article have been mentioned. All texts appear in their original state and were unaltered before they were added to this site. Dutch articles were translated into English by the webmaster, grammatical and other errors are always possible. Any personal comment by yours truly can be found between the characters "<" and ">". Also no guarantee is offered on the truthfulness of the information provided in the featured articles. In a lot of these articles the personal opinion of the original author is very apparent and because of that the article might be slightly subjective.
