Gypsy Beats & Balkan Bangers
Atlantic Jaxx
BEATS
'Gypsy Beats and Balkan Bangers' is compiled by RUSS JONES aka FUTURE WORLD FUNK and FELIX BUXTON aka BASEMENT JAXX who both have cherry-picked the freshest fruit and prepared a serious selection of blistering music and good times blended with both modern and traditional styles - all infused with gypsy spirit.
This gets straight down to business with 'Bucovina', the anthem of the Balkan dance scene, from Germany's DJ SHANTEL. Shantel also delivers a killer dub mix of Bucovina and a remix of MAHALA RAÏ BANDA's 'Mahalageasca'.
FANFARE CIOCARLIA cover the James Bond Theme in a Gypsy Ska stylee; SENOR COCONUT provides a 'Cumbia remix' of THE KOÇANI ORCHESTAR; GOGOL BORDELLO's love of THE CLASH extends to them using ex-Clash tour DJ, SCRATCHY, with his unhinged Balkanised punk stomper 'Start Wearing Purple'; N.O.H.A.'s 'Balkan Hot Step' was used for a Nike ad; DJ's GILLES PETERSON, RUSS JONES and ROC HUNTER drop their 'Brass and Bass Mix' of MAHALA RAÏ BANDA's 'Spoitoresa' to bring the exclusive remix count up to 3. and taking 'Gypsy Beats and Balkan Bangers' to a total of 15 tracks of joyous, raucous music from out there designed to put some Gypsy in your soul!
