INFO ENGLISH

This is a "hangover album" in the truest sense. 
After ten wild days in the beautiful city of Pula, Croatia—full of drinks, laughs, and sexy chaos—I ended up taking a bad fall in the street and hit my head pretty hard. 
The upshot? A nasty bout of vertigo that stuck around longer than I expected. I didn’t really know how to deal with it at first, but eventually, I sat down, gathered myself, and created this song as a soundtrack to "the story".
And to make this mayhem more audible, we produced it in 5 different versions: jazz, lo-fi, mexican and instrumental. 

INFO CROATIAN

bili smo u puli, ja, keme i vlada...početak je to teksta ove jeftine pjesmice koju intuitivno sklepasmo posljednji dan našeg desetodnevnog boravka, kada sam skontao da imam ozbiljan problem u glavi. naime, odmah smo se prvu večer uradili k'o horda majmuna; bilo je tu svega, alkohola, THC, CC, travarica, masti na bradi, sira i sudžuke, haman svega što jedan čopor srednjovječnih bosanskih gastarbeitera ne može, a da ne konzumira u rekordnom roku.
elem, da ne kenjam previše - ja - najgrlatiji i najpametniji od svih, nisam mogao, a da pred sam kraj posijela ne potegnem (još) jedan "dobar gutljaj" travarice, za usput, onako kaubojski kako to samo kljusina mog kalibra umije - i to nakon desetak piva i gomile ostalih opijata - te kao krenem da ću "lagano kući"...
nije trajalo dugo, magični blackout me je sustigao samo što sam izašao na ulicu, te ja "elegantno" zveknem glavudžom od ivičnjak - tuspasim se o ljuti istarski kamen. keme kaže da se čulo do medulina kada sam tresn'o, te da sam nekoliko minuta ležao izvrnutih očiju...eto...

ja se ne sjećam šta je nakon toga bilo, samo znam da me je ujutro bolio potiljak i da mi se neprestano vrtilo u glavi. mislio sam da je od piva. i tako desetak dana. vino, pivo, trava, vertigo, i sve tako u krug…sjednem za sto, napišem te genijalne stihove i poredam akorde…

"KRIVO JE PIVO" - BOSNIAK & SOKO

An "easy going" collaboration between Ellenit Hernández (Mexico) and Robert Šoko (Bosnia) - both residing in Berlin, Germany - aiming at creating some lo-fi cover versions but foremost some own productions made "from scratch". 

We like to create new things without thinking about commercial aspects, for the love of music, for the sake of good feeling.

This is a little reminiscence of 30 BalkanBeats years. 

Ignace Corso aka DJ Tagada [Paris] and Robert Soko [Berlin] didn‘t have any particular reason to re-produce this track, yet, they did it for the sake of so many crazy and beautiful moments they lived together back in the noughties: on stage, under the stage...in the backstage...out of the fury, madness and rage....

INFO

bili smo u puli, ja, keme i vlada...početak je to teksta ove jeftine pjesmice koju intuitivno sklepah posljednji dan našeg desetodnevnog boravka, kada sam skontao da imam ozbiljan problem u glavi. naime, odmah smo se prvu večer uradili k'o horda majmuna; bilo je tu svega, alkohola, THC, CC, travarica, masti na bradi, sira i sudžuke, haman svega što jedan čopor srednjovječnih bosanskih gastarbeitera ne može, a da ne konzumira u rekordnom roku. 

elem, da ne kenjam previše - ja - najgrlatiji i najpametniji od svih, nisam mogao, a da  pred sam kraj posijela ne potegnem (još) jedan "dobar gutljaj" travarice, za usput, onako kaubojski kako to samo kljusina mog kalibra umije -  i to nakon desetak piva i gomile ostalih opijata - te kao krenem da ću "lagano kući"...

nije trajalo dugo, magični blackout me je sustigao samo što sam izašao na ulicu, te ja "elegantno" zveknem glavudžom od ivičnjak - tuspasim se o ljuti istarski kamen. 
keme kaže da se čulo do medulina kada sam tresn'o, te da sam nekoliko minuta ležao izvrnutih očiju...eto...

ja se ne sjećam šta je nakon toga bilo, samo znam da me je ujutro bolio potiljak i da mi se neprestano vrtilo u glavi. mislio sam da je od piva. i tako desetak dana. vino, pivo, trava, vertigo, i sve tako u krug... medjutim kad sam se vratio u berlin i potpuno otrijeznio, vidim vertigo se ne povlači, glava i dalje boli, pogled mi se muti...

what is the moral of the story? 

ne znam. vozim 55 godinu i još uvijek nisam skontao kako pobijediti vlastitu glupost. u meni i dalje vreba onaj gladni nesretnik koji samo čeka priliku da se otkači totalno. da zaboravi. da strese sa sebe urodjenu anksioznost i psihozu. i da nađe onu pravu dozu...nije to lako 🥴

PS
moj dido stipo bi na sve ovo samo rekao: ko te jebe budalo! 

i to bi bilo to. end of the story.

"SCHÖNE TAGE"
(Lyrics by Robert Šoko & Katya Tasheva ⎜Berlin 2016)

MALE VOCAL:
Das war einer dieser Tage, 
fühlte sich an wie eine Plage,
aber du bist endlich weg, 
und ich bin wieder "in der Lage",

Ich genieß´die schöne Tage,

Das war einer dieser Tage, 
fühlte sich an wie eine Plage,
aber du bist endlich weg, 
und ich bin wieder "in der Lage",

FEMALE VOCAL:
Ich liege in der Bauchlage, 
in der neuen Wohnanlage,
Mit ´nem Sekt in der Hand,
und glaub´s mir wenn ich sage, die Gefühle sind noch vage,

Es ist noch ´ne Zeitfrage,
das mit der Unterhaltszusage,
wenn ich diese neue Seite aufschlage
dann - kommen - Schöne Tage!

MALE VOCAL:
Das war einer dieser Tage, 
fühlte sich an wie eine Plage,
aber du bist endlich weg, 
und ich bin wieder "in der Lage",

Ich genieß´die schöne tage,
das steht sicher außer Frage
denn du bist endlich weg,
und ich bin wieder "in der Lage",

aber nach jeder Ehescheidungsklage ,
kommen wieder Schöne Tage...

"OUT TO LOUNGE BALKANBEATS REMIX"
(Lyrics by Arturo Gueglio & Cristian Anibal del Negro / Buenos Aires, Argentina 2017)

Si venimos a reparar los agujeros en la pared
que dejaron tus disparos, no te asustes

Si venimos a reparar los agujeros en la pared
que dejaron tus disparos, no te asustes

calculando el impacto
aspecto abstracto
de medición
del hecho al acto
un largo trecho
la bala cruza el pecho
camino estrecho
los arboles de techo

se instala,germina,genetica combina
los atomos componen la materia
elimina teoria alternativa
la ciencia herramienta
los pibes les fascina

patean colmenas
en casas ajenas
provocan escusas
con manos intrusas

es una conquista
falsos coleccionistas
sin nadie que resista
ganan los narcisistas

RATATATATA no te asustes!

Si venimos a reparar los agujeros en la pared
que dejaron tus disparos, no te asustes

Si venimos a reparar los agujeros en la pared
que dejaron tus disparos, no te asustes

Si venimos a reparar los agujeros en la pared
que dejaron tus disparos, no te asustes

bump bump tomahawk en tu cabeza no resiste
bump drones en el aire no son chiste

bump bump tomahawk en tu cabeza no resiste
bump drones en el aire no son chiste

saltan pulgas
al precipicio
cuando las tierras arden
no importa lo que tarden
los divididos
se ponen de acuerdo
dejando rencores para el recuerdo

Rompecabezas que les faltan piezas
las marcas las manos tropiezas tristezas
algunos rezan
otros seguimos buscando en le fondo del mar la pureza

RATATATATA no te asustes!

Si venimos a reparar los agujeros en la pared
que dejaron tus disparos, no te asustes

laße wieder einen Schrei,

eins, zwei, sei dabei, 
ist doch alles Spielerei,

zwei, drei, polizei, 
immer wieder Schlägerei,

zwei, drei, Papagei,
ich bin wieder sorgenfrei,

OOOPAH

eins, zwei, Schwindelei,
bin schon wieder Spesenfrei,

eins, zwei, Sklaverei, 
was für eine Sauerei,

zwei, drei, polizei, 
immer wieder Schlägerei,

zwei, drei, Papagei,
ich bin wieder sorgenfrei,

FACEBOOK STYLE!

eins , zwei, ich bin frei,
laße wieder einen Schrei,

eins, zwei, sei dabei, 
ist doch alles Spielerei,

zwei, drei, polizei, 
immer wieder Schlägerei,

zwei, drei, Papagei,
ich bin wieder sorgenfrei,

OOOPAH

MEIN SHTETELE BERLIN
(Lyrics by Yuriy Gurzhy ⎜Berlin 2017)

Every city has a history,
Has its own ID
Dancing to its own beat,
It‘s melody
when we are apart,
You're always in my heart
you mean a lot to me

Berlin, mein shtetele Berlin
You play your music on a dusty violin
Been away for too long,
But remember your song // But that‘s where i belong
Berlin, mein shtetele Berlin

I'm full of gratitude
When I'm feeling blue
Turn of my phone and walk
That's what I do
Streets and avenues
Buildings old and new
I'm getting lost in you

People like to go away
When they're on holiday
They'd go to New York
London or Bombay
I want you to know
I like your rain and snow
And so at home I stay

Sometimes it's too hot
Or it rains a lot
Monday I'm happy, but
Tuesday maybe not
Talented and poor
Beautiful and pure
You are all i got

MEIN SHTETELE BERLIN

"BUBAMARA" 
(Lyrics by Dr Nele Karajlić alias Nenad Janković⎜Belgrade 2017)

Zamisli da je Bog kao čovjek normalan,
da puši, pije, da se smije, da ga muči probava,

Zamisli da je Bog iznad prozora tvog,
i da je noćas nešto gadno pojeo, 

Zamisli da je Bog kao čovjek normalan,
da voli šegu, šalu, da je prava provala,

Zamisli da se Bog malo zajebo,
pa ti je na leđa krila stavio,

LETI LETI LETI KAO
BUBAMARA - BUBAMARA (4x)

Djindji rindji Bubamaro
ciknije shuzhije
ajde mori goj romesa (x2)

Zamisli da je Bog kao čovjek normalan,
pa kad nešto radi da ga hvata dosada,

Zamisli da je Bog dok je svijeta pravio,
treći dan od smora zaspao,

Zamisli da je Bog kao čovjek normalan,
pa je smetno s uma šta je kome obećo,

Zamisli da se Bog s nama zezao,
pa nam je mjesto ruku krila stavio,

LETI LETI LETI KAO
BUBAMARA - BUBAMARA (4x)

Djindji rindji Bubamaro
ciknije shuzhije
ajde mori goj romesa (x4)

„LESKOVAČKA RUMBA BALKANBEATS  RMX“ – MARKO MARKOVIĆ BRASS BAND

Release Date: 14th April 2018 / BalkanBeats Records, Berlin

Marko Marković Brass Band - the younger generation of Balkan Brass drives this genre to the next level. 

At the order of the day: Global urban Crossover. The foundation is - and remains - the abundant treasure trove of Balkan folk music. The analogue sound is left untouched – traditional wind instruments conventionally played. 

The son of Balkan Brass' official superstar Boban Marković, no wonder Marko blew to the trumpet as soon as he could hold it. Yet he now slipped from under the family wings and roams as his own master on international stages with his  band, ready to conquer the world.

This energetic track from the young trumpet master was revisited by BalkanBeats dance floor expert Robert Šoko and his magic handed acolyte Uroš Petković, for a perfect party proof version. 

1. LESKOVAČKA RUMBA REMIX  (4.22) - ISRC DEVA91800004

REMIXING: UROŠ PETKOVIĆ, ROBERT ŠOKO

Remixed,  edited and mastered at the BalkanBeats Studio in Berlin Kreuzberg, March 2018. 

We would like to thank Marko Marković, Piranha Arts, Lido Berlin and the „Turkish Dealers Choir“.

PANAME CLUB feat. Mademoiselle Nine

Et PAM! Encore une lettre d’amour de BalkanBeats pour sa dulcinée lumineuse, ses toits, ses femmes et son charme. Ces deux versions du track Paname vont vous mettre le feu, in Zeu Club et in Zeu House. Un petit souvenir de nous, de quoi patienter jusqu’à notre prochain come back.

And BAM! BalkanBeats’ latest love letter to the City of Light, its roofs, its girls and its spirit. These versions of Paname are bound to light your inner fire, whether in a club or in da house. A très bientot!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A ballade through the Grande Dame Paname = Paris in a local slang, first city in Europe to embrace the Berliner BalkanBeats madness. This song, made in the tradition of the French cabaret on electro-swing rhythm and with a tinge of Balkan soul, is a great drug against loneliness, apathy and spleen. Just hop on the caroussel for a little spin with Mademoiselle Nine.

"PARADISE" - BalkanBeats SoundSystem

This is a re-imagined musical version of the fantasized oriental paradise of 1001 nights. The beauty, hopefulness and peace described stand in strong contrast with the traveling reality depicted in the art-documentary.
This is a song of BalkanBeats Soundsystem with the enchanting lyrics and voice of its lead singer Victoria Priester.

"PARADISE"
Text: Victoria Priester / Chorus: Robert Šoko // Berlin 2020

I will lead u darling
Lead u from despair
Just take my hand and cling to me
Through desert sand 
***
Seven days and a thousand miles
You and me, side by side
Laj laj laj
We wander through the trials 

Walking through dust and fire
Reborn as bright Safire
Laj laj laj
Just don’t turn around
***
We have reached paradise 
Do you feel mesmerized?
***
See my hair glowing
In the breeze flowing
Catch my eye and fly away with me 
On a sail above the sea
***
Seven days and thousand miles
You and me, side by side
Laj laj laj
We’ll see the blue whales fly

Even in the storm and rain
We become stronger then pain 
Laj laj laj
Just don’t turn around
****
We have reached paradise 
Do you feel mesmerized?
