Balkan Scientists Sound System came to life in the beginning of 2010 as a final result of series of musical experiments named “Balkan Scientist vol.1,2,3,4,5“ (2008-2010). Mihail Dimov the original Balkan Scientist and his crew Global Vision Circle organized these events led by a creative curiosity asking over and over the same question - “what will happen if…?”. 
“What will happen if on stage meet the 65 years old gypsy violin virtuoso Venzi Takev and the 22 years Bulgaria’s beat box phenomena Skiller, what will happen if we bring together the 3 didgeridoo players in their twenties with a bag pipe master from Rodopi mountain, or if the punk rock legend Vassil Gurov joins forces with Janka Rupkina - the emblematic voice of Bulgarian folklore, or how the Brazilian berimbau will go along with Turkish zurna and Bulgarian traditional back pipe.. etc.?” 
The experiments involved more than 20 artists of various ages, ethnicities and musical backgrounds and always followed the same pattern – the musicians had on their disposal two rehearsals to get to know each other and create together a “repertoire” based on their common Balkan musical sensitivity and strong feeling for improvisation. After that they hit the stage confronting a growing in number and enthusiasm audience. BOOOM!!! It was a success! Definitely!! The Balkan Scientist Reunion Night brought all five experiments together in one night in front of almost a thousand people. The fifth experiment even made it to Hungary and Germany where Asphalt Tango label got quite interested but…the balkanization (ability to over-complicate things) and the enormous differences between the musicians (which were great for the stage but not so good for the road) made the band fall apart. 
At that point the original Balkan Scientist decided to bring together a new formation that will step on the achievements of the previous ones, but will be more organic, more professional and more dubby. Balkan Scientists Sound System named in the beginning Balkan Scientist Dub Project (or Balkan Scientist vol.6) was finally born! It had an important new element compared with its predecessors - the deejay section. The concept this time was also different. The Deep Space Deejays who are indeed some of Bulgaria’s global beat and dub/reggae pioneers create (or select) a musical basis, a “riddim” on which the musicians improvise while they process part of the sound with delay and reverb effects. 
On 24th of February 2010 the first line up of the new formation came to the Light! On stage were Elitza Todorova - voice and percussion (Bulgarian Eurovision finalist and folk diva), Kostadin Genchev - kaval , AteshHan - guitar, Horhe - didgeridoo and the Deep Space Deejays ( Mihail Dimov, Atanas Rusev & Ivaylo Stoyanov) supported by the Bulgarian dubstep pioneer Georgi Penkov – Exo. The audience was astonished – this music made it often freeze and after that burst in frantic applauses!
Basically Balkan Scientists Sound System came as a combination of the musical forms of traditional Bulgarian folklore and the discoveries of classic Jamaican dub and contemporary electronic music. 
The group experiments persistently on the creation of this brand new sound in their studio giving several concerts per year mostly on festivals – the grand “Beglika Free Fest”, SEEME Sofia Music Conference, “Golden Kuker Festival”. 
Although the formation is quite new - its members are very well known for their musical skills and experience – the Deep Space Deejays are founders of the Global Vision Circle and Zionlionz Soundsystem - two of the main forces behind the strong new Bulgarian underground scene, and the folklore musicians are famous as key members of some of the most successful Bulgarian musical export acts like ”Ivo Papazov and His Wedding Band”, “EVA Quartet” and “Bulgara” .
With “weapons” like that the Balkan Scientists Sound System is steadily on its mission to open the gates and bring some of the immense treasures of the Bulgarian tradition to the ears of the world. As the authentic Bulgarian folklore is well known around the globe among the hard core world music lovers, but so far never achieved a mainstream or a major festival success in its modern versions. The Balkan Scientists come to fill this gap combining the ancient melodies and contemporary beats, delivering precious musical jewels born by a thousand years tradition wrapped in the sound of the future. 
Unpredictable, mystical, deep and dubby this “neo-traditional” sound coming straight from the heart of the Balkans – Sofia, Bulgaria is ready to detonate in the ears of the world. Don’t miss it!

Възникнал през март 2008, Balkan Scientist се превърна в синоним на 

иновативен, богат на идеи и изключително танцувален звук, който бе представен на публиката под формата на клубни партита-изненади, съчетаващи в себе си музикални експерименти на живо и горещи DJ сетове на балканска тематика.

За петте си издания проектът Balkan Scientist събра на една сцена музиканти от различни стилове, поколения, етноси и традиции, които импровизираха и създадоха заедно жива музика с едновременно ново звучене и балкански привкус!

По този начин Balkan Scientist се превърна в УНИКАЛНО място за среща между ромски виртуози (Венци Такев, Данго Илиев, Кольо Иванов), легендарни имена в българската народна музика (Янка Рупкина, Светльо Жилев, Добри Байчаря), джаз, рок и етно музиканти (Васил Гюров – група Ревю, Росен Захариев-Роко, Жоро Дончев, Асен Хайдутов, Николай Иванов – група ОМ) с ърбан бийт боксъри и улични музиканти (Skiller, Exo, Horhe`s Didgeridoo Crew) и диджеи от различни музикални направления (Zion, Bai POP, Dharba, Brown Sugar, Africandro). Резултатът бе взривяваща музика с балкански ритъм, караща все по – бързо увеличаващата се публика да очаква с нетърпение следващия музикален експеримент!
