Taste of Sugar were instrumental architects of the New Beat movement, the Belgian electronic dance phenomenon that emerged in 1987 and rippled across Western Europe. The collective, featuring Morton, Sherman, and Belluci, defined the era's sound with their prolific output—releasing over 100 recordings under various monikers during the movement's explosive peak. Their rapid-fire releases and genre-defining work established Belgium as a crucial epicenter for innovative electronic music production.
As pioneers of New Beat's frenetic synth lines, breakbeat rhythms, and industrial influences, Taste of Sugar helped shape the template for contemporary dance music. Their collaborative approach and willingness to experiment across multiple project names became emblematic of the movement's creative energy, leaving a lasting impact on electronic music's evolution from the late 1980s forward.
