Various Artists - Balkan Beats Volume 6 (Ammonite Records , 2016)
Balkan Beats Volume 6 is an up to date collection of dance floor hits selected by Robert Šoko and created or remixed in Balkanbeat fashion by DJs and musicians from various parts of the world. These musical wizards, all stemming from underground and alternative artistic backgrounds, have unleashed their creativity and postmodern playfulness to present explosive tracks, the Balkan way.
The term “Balkanbeat” defines a musical genre, emerged as a crossover between dance pop and ethno folk motives originating from the Balkans. This region of south eastern Europe is a cultural meeting point between East and West. The term “balkanbeat” itself was coined back in 1993 by Robert Šoko, the selector of this compilation, to define his Balkan inspired DJ SET. BalkanBeats Volume 6 is a superfun, witty, groovy and cheerful party which will definitely blow your mind and release your inner Balkan self.
“This album is the quintessence of my wildest parties, matured in the greatest European clubs since the beginning of the millennium. In my opinion, my best compilation so far. 16 delightful punchy tracks. A BalkanBeats must-have.” Robert Šoko
