After posting Beirut earlier this week, I've realized my love for Balkan-fusion music (yeah, its a legit genre). Balkan Beat Box from Brooklyn puts a hip hop twist on the popular middle eastern style. These guys have a knack for coming up with cultured rhythms that would belong at both an underground dance club and a Bar Mitzvah. Get more info on these guys at their label's website . Add this Band on Myspace [...]

Israel, Bulgarien, Marokko, Spanien, Palästina und Williamsburg. Elektronika, Hip Hop, kreischende Hähne, Küchengeräte und eine klagende Violine. Ist das Balkan Pop? Klezmer? Versucht gar nicht erst, das hier einzuordnen. Balkan Beat Box kreiert ein furioses Patchwork, das uns glauben lässt, dass wir heute die ganze Welt in einen einzigen Song verpacken und dann irgendwo danach tanzen können. Bei so viel Multikulturell bleibt jeder Widerstand zwecklos. MP3: Balkan Beat Box / Bulgarian Chicks Support the artist Technorati Tags: Balkan Beat Box [...]

Well, the hipster festival SXSW has begun. The rise of SXSW from a relatively unknown festival (at least for me) 2 years ago and becoming a huge worldwide acknowledged event in 2 years is pretty interesting. There's probably lots of blogs attending & covering SXSW, but you know I'm not really into most of the hipster college indie rock stuff. That said I've got a few recommendations that I got from the SXSW Promo Torrent . If you're at the SXSW probably you've made up your mind about who to see, but here are [...]
Auf das texanische South by South West (SXSW) Festival ist doch immer wieder Verlass. Auch in diesem Jahr tritt eine schier unüberschaubare Menge an Bands an. Das erste Mp3-Promotion-Paket, das seit ein paar Tagen als legaler Torrent umherrschwirrt, ist schwer: 3,5 Gigabyte für 739 (Siebenhundertneununddreissig! ) Mp3s. Da fällt es durchaus schwer, die wirklichen Perlen aus diesem Klangmeer zu fischen. Ich habe mich mal in die Fluten gestürzt und folgende Musik an die Oberfläche befördert. Nach absolut subjektiven Kriterien. Natürlich: (more...) mp3 , musique [...]

I'm feeling very happy and energic today after I've thrown the burden of deleting all the filelodge links and fixing older posts' problems along with the redesign. For some awkward reason the search dialogue on the right directed to feedblitz, I've removed the feedblitz subscription on the left and the problem went away. Also there's a feedflare dialogue on the end of every post now so you can add the post to del.icio.us easily or email the posts to your friends (or auntie) traditionally. So to commemorate my energic times 'ere's a band that's giving me lots [...]

This is not the kind of week that has the big shows that make you say wow. With that said, this is a solid week that has a wide variety of understated shows worth checking out. If you want spectacles, go to Austin or wait for Virgin Festival to hit town next week. On Tuesday evening, local buzz band Page France hit The Ottobar with In Ink Please . Wow, that sounds weird saying local [...]
NYC's Balkan Beat Box blends traditional music from North Africa, Israel and Eastern Europe with electronic beats to create a sound that truly lives up to the label of "world music." Ori Kaplan (former member of Gogol Bordello) and Tamir Muskat are the core of the band and are aided by several additional members to bring the music to audiences across the world. Along with their late night spot at Bonnaroo (where they will share the stage with the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus and Dresden Dolls), the band is making appearances at festivals throughout most of the summer.
