At 7 minutes in this mix a song called THE CUBE started playing and I suddenly felt like I was playing DDR. Then I looked up the song and yep, it's one of the songs I played in DDR when I was like 12 years old XD

I keep making attempts to find the "33⅓+8" effect that turned EBM into NewBeat in the late-80s Belgium scene.  I know the "33⅓" is to slow it down to 100/135 speed (0.740740...) but I still haven't found what the "+8" means.  Gotta be pitchshifting, but what are the units?  tones? semitones? some other ratio?  (people will hear the original track and ask why it was sped up)
