It's a lifestyle; a feeling; and in the last couple of years it's expanded from a European to a world-wide phenomenon. From Bosnia to Brazil, BalkanBeats has people hooked.
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. In the recent past the phenomenon has caught on in other cities around the world where Balkan immigrants live. BalkanBeats parties rave all the way from Frankfurt and Vienna to New York and Melbourne.
The first Antwerp party took place at 5 december 2009, and was an instant success. After the first edition, the second and third one were sold-out. More info about the fourth edition (april 2011) will follow soon.
