Every now and then it's fun to just do something completely different. Merdan wanted to remix an old-scool swingtune (in stead of those balkantheme's). We decided to tweak and work on "Tweedle Dee". The complete song is produced in the box at home (yeah, this is soo 21th century...)

The result can be downloaded here.

Merdan Tapak Orkestar @ Festival Mundial!

Recently bram joined 'MERDAN TAPLAK ORKESTAR', a brand new project from DJ Merdan Taplak.
One deejay, one accordionist and four brass musicians, all originating from Antwerp, Belgium. No golden teeth, no suspenders or hats, no gipsy roots, but one hell of a fiesta balkananica! Mashed up with electronica, bridging the gap between balkan- and popclassics. Oppaah!

Keep an eye on the Gig-section and join the partyyyy!

The track March of the Sultans - Merdan Taplak, produced by Bram is released on the BALKANBEATS compilation.

Listen to it in the audio player!

Robert Soko has been throwing parties in Berlin since 1993. He was the first to coin the term BalkanBeats to try and define his mix of music from the Balkans.BalkanBeats are Serbian Gypsy brass and folk melodies reinterpreted, given electronic beats and blended with western styles such as ska and rock.

The compilation contains songs from Magnifico, Shantel, Amsterdam Klezmer Band, Boban I Marko Markovic Orkestar and many more big names from the scene.
Big up!

Summer is nearly finished and Merdan Taplak is already working on some new stuff.
Two brand new remixes from merdan Taplak are comming up, both produced by Bram. Paleto, a song from the Belgian worldmusic band Think of One and Borderbounce from Al Jawalla(Germany). The unfinished (demo-) version of the Borderbounce rmx has already proven its succes at loads of festivals this summer. (Dour, pukkelop, sfinks...)
When you pop out the audio player you can listen to the finished version of the Borderbounce RMX. The track is mixed @ Rockstarrecordings and mastered by Gert Van Hoof (cochleamastering.net).

Keep bouncing the borders!
