BalkanBeats, GypsyBangers, KlezmerHop & RusSka by
DJ ClicK (No Fridge, FR)
DJ Gaetano Fabri (Blue Gypsy, BE)
Balkan Hotsteppers (BC residents, BE)
Polymorphic artist DJ ClicK (No Fridge, FR)has long been an accomplice of the most ebullient projects: with the extravert Rona Hartner for tsigane traditions as well as the gnawas of Essaouira, pending his Zuco 103 brasileiro or African mixes with Issa Bagayogo. His field of predilection: moisture-filled dance floors where his mixes ardently pulsate a range of Mediterranean musical styles. Incorporating tsigane, oriental, klezmer, flamenco or gnawi rhythms, DJ ClicK delivers techno, drum & bass on another mode, and in another time zone… Those of the future! A universal, communicative and festive language, with tonic accents and over-energized tempos, making bodies talk. He produced a dozen cd’s in his studio, numerous remixes like those of Warsaw Village Band, Mahala Raï Banda, Burhan Öçal, Boogie Balagan or Rachid Taha, and his no visa music was released on prestigious compilations. DJ ClicK is an adventuresome alchemist who infuses rural with urban and extracts living music from electronic mechanics.
Impassioned jazz musician and percussionist from Brussels, DJ Gaetano Fabri (Blue Gypsy Records, BE) popularizes gypsy music through the club scenes throughout Europe by blending clubbing culture with traditional music. Since 1991, known then under the name of DJ Gaetan Decadance, Fabri was spinning on the techno house circuit of Belgium and France. In 2000 he started his love affair with world music and began to fuse traditional music from the tzigane or 'gypsy' culture, Balkan brass bands of Eastern Europe, klezmer and Russian folk songs. Fabri's remix of Siki Siki Baba by Kocani Orkestar, without a doubt the most incredible brass band Macedonian of this century, appears on the first volume of the now hugely popular Electric Gypsyland series and is a dancefloor favourite. A resident since 2005 at Divan du Monde (Paris) where, with his colleagues such as DJ Tagada and DJ ClicK, musical explorations rooted in gypsy culture hit the dancefloor. Fabri's desire to bring to life nights entirely dedicated to the culture of the Balkans on the international club circuit (New York, Paris, London, Brussels, Barcelona...), brings him around the world touring both as a solo artist and with the magnificent Mahala Rai Banda from Romania.
BC residents Balkan Hotsteppers, formed back in 2006 by Belgian DJ's Sam Rabam and Typsy Gypsy, released trendsetting mixtapes on the internet, combining modern beats with classical Balkan, gypsy and klezmer melodies, mashing it up with hip-hop they soon became a standard in the evergrowing European BalkanBeats scene. Balkan Mashups, Klezmer Beats, Gypsy Punk, Russian Ska, Romano Hip Hop, Yugoslavian Brass Bangers, ...Party ! Four years later they have played all over Europe: Belgium, France, Holland, Ireland, UK, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, Turkey, Spain, Portugal. Their unique blend will take you on a eclectic trip to the balkans and beyond.
