Description
The pioneering recordings by Crammed Discs of traditional gypsy music moved into the 21st century with the release of the first collection of re-mixes, Electric Gypsyland, which sparked off the fascination of young DJs and re-mixers for gypsy music from the Balkans. Electric Gypsyland 2 takes this even further. It's a collection of reinterpretations / re-inventions of tracks from three of the leading Balkan Gypsy bands (Crammed's mighty Taraf de Haidouks, Kocani Orkestar and Mahala Rai Banda), made by notorious fusionists (Balkan Beat Box, Oi Va Voi, Smadj, Shantel), by several mainstays of the new Balkan club scene (DJ ClicK, Forty Thieves Orkestar, Gaetano Fabri, Russ Jones, Russendisko), and by more unexpected contributors coming from totally different musical areas (Tunng, Animal Collective, Nouvelle Vague, Cibelle, 43 Skidoo feat. Susheela Raman, Buscemi and ShrineSynchroSystem). Also featured are many additional guest musicians (from Europe, Turkey, Africa), engaging in virtual jamming with the original players. While some of these pieces stay close enough to the originals and can be described as remixes, most are poetic re-inventions, works of pure imagination. Also enclosed is a bonus CD including 12 of the best, original tracks by Taraf de Haïdouks, Kocani Orkestar, Mahala Rai Banda & Zelwer.
