HARIS PILTON & STEREO PARTIZAN - Shake That Thing (new version) (free download)

On a boring summer day of 2012, Mister Mikuta & Herr Soko, not knowing what to do with themselves, were just sat there, as usual. Mikuta started hitting some buttons on the keyboard, an old gypsy reflex, and Soko interrupted his drinking only to sing, an old Bosnian instinct. Al Jawala delivered some free samples. 
After a while, Herr Soko & Mister Mikuta realised they had produced something. 

On another boring day, Herr Soko´s iTunes played this song randomly. Having stopped drinking, almost two years later, Herr Soko found it not "sooo bad" and finally uploaded it. Here it is.

➥ SAXOPHONE SAMPLES - AL JAWALA

➥ KEYBOARD & EDITING - FLORIAN J. MIKUTA

➥ VOCALS & LYRICS - ROBERT SOKO

☛ produced in berlin kreuzberg 2012 by mister mikuta & herr soko (balkanbeats soundlab) 
☛ never completed because herr soko found it overly indelicate and tacky.

Papagei. 
eins , zwei, ich bin frei,

KIBORI REVAMP - MAHALA RAI BANDA (ROBERT SOKO RMX)

Mahala rai banda v/s Shantel - Mahalageasca (Bucovina dub)

“SOUNDS FROM A BYGONE AGE” is a series of CDs focusing on extremely rare recordings of legendary Gypsy musicians from Eastern Europe. These recordings were made when Europe was still divided by The Berlin Wall, thus “Sounds From A Bygone Age” brings lost musical treasures to the international market for the very first time. Here is a music of great beauty, mystery and artistry, a Balkan music performed in the borders between town and country, the sound of the Lautari.

Mahala Rai Banda, Romania’s funkiest Gypsy brass band, blew minds with their 2009 album ”Ghetto Blasters”. Amongst the many hyper-fast tunes rocking on that disc there was one of sweet, laid-back grooves called ‘Balkan Reggae’.

‘Balkan Reggae’ found Mahala Rai Banda paying homage to their soul brothers in Jamaica. In the year that Jamaica is celebrating 50 Years of Independence, Mahala Rai Banda chose to reach out to their Jamaican brethren and invited London-based top dub remixer Jstar to give ‘Balkan Reggae’ a sonic turbo charge.

Long celebrated for his classic reggae hip-hop mashups, Jstar regularly tours the planet dropping good grooves on party people and pushing bass culture forward. Jstar, who knows a phat groove when he hears one, is a big Mahala Rai Banda fan. His dub remix of ‘Balkan Reggae’ keeps the tune’s lyrical, sunshine vibe while giving it an urban electro tweak and twist. JSTAR about MAHALA RAI BANDA: “These guys got more bounce than a rubber ball!”
