Cat.-No.: AY 01

After the club smasher "Bucovina" Shantel presents with "Disko" the second part of his gypsy sessions series. For the second single release from his compilation "Bucovina Club" (AY 03) Shantel cooperated with the legendary Boban Markovic Orkestar from Serbia that is considered the best Balkan brass band around.

In the remixes of RAS, Haaksman+Haaksman and The Friends Of Boban the original Balkan sound meets on two step grooves, ska riddims and leftfield beats. The East meets the West in the "Disko".

TRACKLIST

A1 The Haaksman+Haaksman Jump Up Gypsy Mix
From Serbia to Brixton to Berlin: two step garage beats, a ravy bassline and the golden brass of the Boban Markovic Orkestar are combined by Daniel and Felix Haaksman in their "Jump Up Gypsy Mix" into a musical novelty the world hasn't heard before in this unique combination.

Big brass funk polka stylee. When the guys of Boban Markovic blow the horns, the party really gets started.
