Boom Pam have established themselves as pioneers of modern Middle Eastern surf rock, combining sophisticated yet catchy guitar riffs, with roaring tuba basslines and fiery drums. In the past decade the band have frequently collaborated with and backed legendary Turkish folk singer-songwriter, Selda Bagcan, on stage and record, and performed at some of the world's most renowned festivals, including Primavera Sound, Lollapalooza, Fuji Rock, the Montreal Jazz Festival and many more.
An engaging listen from beginning to end, ‘Royal’ is the perfect representation of Boom Pam’s incredible 20-year journey, showcasing their superior skills in pushing the boundaries of their genre.

DJ Funky Junkie's career began way back in 1985. when he started his weekly radio show on "Radio Nis" along with his friend, DJ Mixmaster. The show lasted until 1988. In 1989., FJ started to play music in then famous Symphony club, and from that moment on up to these days he spins his records & CDs in clubs & venues all over Serbia, neighbour countries and around Europe.
With almost 25 years of experience under his belt, and many records in his huge vinyl collection, it is fair to say that Funky Junkie is one of the founders of a contemporary club scene in Nis & Serbia.
Despite the fact that he plays progressive, tech house & electro on most of his gigs, he never forgets his roots. As a great fan of funk, jazz funk, soul, disco funk, brazil & latin music, nu wave, post punk he collects vinyls which are kept in his respectable collection, and this is the music he likes to play most even today alone or with his friend DJ Ceka The Boss as a part of notorious "The Funk Soul Brothers". There are many DJs who have rather major influence on his career, to name some of them: Francis Grasso, David Mancuso, Nicky Siano, Larry Levan, Walter Gibbons, Bobby Guttardo, Danny Krivit, Francois Kevorkian, Ron Hardy, Frankie Knuckles, Gilles Peterson, Paul Murphy, Patrick Forge, Kevin Beadle, Dr. Bob Jones, Keb Darge, Grandmaster Flash, DJ Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaataa etc. (to name just a DJs, not the bands & the producers). Considering Serbia, the greatest impact on him had DJ Bane and original "Disco 13" DJs from the 70's, then DJ Brkica & the crew from "Muzicki klub '81", and of course DJ Nenad Mitic from "Symphony club". It wouldn't be fair not to mention DJ Chile (and THE ONE & ONLY "Soul Food" club in Belgrade), who is "guilty in charge" for FJ's love for all kinds of both contemporary & vintage black music.
The proof of his musical diversity was a legendary cult one man radio show called "Tripovanje" (Trippin') which was broadcasted firstly on "Belle Amie" radio back in the 90's and then on "Fast Radio".
During all these years he was behind the decks with many famous DJs and played opening acts for many bands from Bob Sinclar and Hernan Cattaneo to The Brand New Heavies, Gilles Peterson and Paul Murphy, for example. To name all of them would take a lot of place & time. Unfortunately, we do not have enough of both :) Funky Junkie is also a promoter and alongside his good friend and great DJ Acim he organized many great events in Nis.
In summer of 2010. he released widely acclaimed bootleg compilation "Idi, igraj!-Funk, soul, jazz funk & disco from ex-Yugoslavia 1969-1987 compiled by DJ Funky Junkie" which got massive feedback from many famous producers and DJs from USA, Japan, Europe etc. and earned almost cult status among them.
In 2011. he made remixes for Beatfanatic and Valique along with his friends, and recently he is about to promote the third and the last part of "Idi, igraj!" compilation and touring all over Serbia and abroad.
You can still see and listen to him playing live all around. He is a part of "Selected DJs" team, still trying to preach the gospell of music and spread the positive vibrations everywhere. The story of Funky Junkie continues...
For the love of music, for the love of beats...

“Beautiful and surreal… pop music from the future”
JOHN PEEL, BBC (on the Fish Ep in 2003)

“One of the year’s most disturbingly beautiful creations”
RESIDENT ADVISOR (on Barefoot Wanderer in 2010)

“Besser als Massive Attack”
DIE TAGESZEITUNG (on Barefoot Wanderer in 2010)

“Jahcoozi ist die Art von polyglotter Band ….. wilde Klänge auf die mächtigen Bass-Säulen, auf die ihre Musik sich stützt. Wie ein Wanderer, der nach dem Ende der Welt ohne Schuhe zwischen den Klangresten umhertänzelt. Schön.”
DER SPIEGEL (on Barefoot Wanderer in 2010)

“…visceral, gritty sounding, danceable dancehall riddims, glitch-hop, and experimental techno rub up against each other like long-lost pals ..”
PITCHFORK (on Barefoot Wanderer in 2010)

“2075. Earth. The metropol club scene will sound like this…”
GROOVEMINE (on Barefoot Wanderer in 2010)

“…extraterrestrial bass thumping in the heart of the Jamaican urban landscape, Jahcoozi brings out the best in aspects that Massive Attack and Leftfield built up …….“Lost In The Bass” and “Barefoot Dub” is the best modern day dub prowess since Massive Attack’s Blue Lines”
ZAPTOWN Magazine (on Barefoot Wanderer in 2010)

“…music that moves your body, lyrics that stimulate your cerebral cortex …… as effective with the aural mystique and hypnosis perpetuated by Lee “Scratch” Perry and Massive Attack’s Mezzanine as making audiences lose their minds on the dance floor.”
URB Mag (on Barefoot Wanderer in 2010)

“atmospheric, digital dubstep all with a sound that encompasses techno, hip-hop, bassline and grime, held together by Sasha’s sharp and smoky lyrical excursions”
CLASH MAGAZINE, UK (on Barefoot Wanderer in 2010)

“a glorious product of indefinable genre creations”
URB-NET (on Barefoot Wanderer in 2010)

“The aural equivalent of a Quentin Tarentino film, the listener is lost within its swirling maelstrom of electronic gadgetry & infectious riddims…”
FOXY DIGITALIS (on Blitz n Ass in 2007)

“… their acerbic wit and cultural observation is still as sharp as on Pure Breed Mongrel. ‘Takin’ Your Street’ is the only dirty beat track that links gentrification with skinny jeans cutting off blood supply to your feet!”
FLY GLOBAL MUSIC (on Blitz n Ass in 2007)

“It would make sense to call Jahcoozi’s stuff Grime for Björk fans…. this might please both fans of Aphex Twin and Roots Manuva.”
XLR8R, US (on Pure Breed Mongrel in 2005)

“2005 has brought us a no more focused piece of hip hop satire than Asian Bride Magazine with it’a sing-along Hymen, Hymen better in tact.”
MOJO Magazine, UK (on Pure Breed Mongrel in 2005)

“The band sculpts “illectronic” bliss out of grimy shuffle rhythms, deep and detuned bass lines, and bombastic swaths of vocal attitude”
RESONANCE MAGAZINE, USA (on Pure Breed Mongrel in 2005)

“On the stage, Jahcoozi’s British-Sri Lankan “lioness”, singer / rapper / lyricist booty dancer turns heads with smartly sarcastic lyrics about stereotypes, sex and psychedelics on cult classics like “Fish” and “Black Barbie” while the mightily-dreadlocked Israeli multi-instrumentalist Oren Gerlitz strides the stage providing deep basslines while Robot chops up his razor sharp dancehall-electro in a way reminiscent of friend and fellow “BLN’” icon Modeselektor”
MIXMAG, UK (on Pure Breed Mongrel in 2005)

“One of the most progressive albums of the last few years.”
MUSIKEXPRESS, DE (on Pure Breed Mongrel in 2005)

“Homemade Surrealism”
WIRE MAGAZINE (on a Jahcoozi live show at Marke B in 2003)
