DJ Robert Soko
DEUTSCHE VERSION
Since 1993 Berlin audiences have been regularly seduced into BalkanBeats world of magic rhythms and tribal beats. DJ Soko and his artist team create a thrilling blend of ska, gypsy and urban music which has crowds singing and dancing from Los Angeles to Berlin. His mix of hit covers, cult songs, and modern pop fused with traditional Balkan folk result in a infectious dance atmosphere which goes continuously for eight feverish hours. The best place to catch the so called "culture recycling" fever is at the Mudd Club where DJ Robert Soko performs for sold out crowds twice per month. There is no secret, it's just about the beauty of musical diversity and BalkanBeats team knows their turntable diplomacy is helping to bridge a cultural divide.

Robert Soko and associates at the BalkanBeats club night in Berlin belong to the lineage of Gypsy, Balkan and East European roots revival pioneers who established the current frenzy across Europe and the States among people and venues such as Shantel, the Mehanata Bulgarian Bar, Russian Disko, Gogol Bordello.

The story goes like this: In the early 90s a young Bosnian sought refuge in Berlin and like many exiles he wanted to forget the war and the whole shebang. Robert began to throw parties for like-minded migrs and played the old yugo hits. With a melange of irony and nostalgia they finally began to celebrate old socialist bank holidays and the idea of BalkanBeats was born. In the Arcanoa, a Kreuzberg underground punk bar, they tried to regain their lost past and identity. The fascinating, bizarre, somehow tragicomical celebration of the exiled became a regular event that soon had to take place in larger venues. After a few transit stops, BalkanBeats are blasting in Berlin's Mudd Club since 2001.
