Eastblok Releases Steamy Balkanbeats
Balkanbeats are hot these days, what with Gogol Bordello, Balkan Beatbox, Goran Bregovic and others cashing in on the West’s desire to let loose, turn into wild gypsy brides and go beastly to pumped-up brass, Klezmer grooves, ethnic tunes, trash-pop, bagpipes and other synthesis of guitar-rock, dance and folksy instruments and attitude.
Few have captured the zeitgeist as well as Berlin’s Eastblok Record Label (www.eastblokmusic.com) who recently released BALKANBEATS3 has some great tracks including Goran Bregovic’s dancy Gas Gas and The No Smoking Orchestra’s soulful Dobrila, in addition to Slovansky Bal’s Moscow Fever. The selection is compiled by DJ Robert Soko.
B EAST brings you a selection right to your desktop. So jangle your beads and rock to The No Smoking Orchestra’s Dobrila.
