Brass Attack
Brass Attack is the first Volume of the Piranha Jubilee series of recordings, and is selected by DJ Soko of Balkan Beats. For "Brass Attack" DJ Soko has chosen titles by Boban & Marko Markovic, Fanfare Ciocarlia, Frank London's Klezmer Brass Allstars and the Hasaballah Brass Band, who made PIRANHA one of the top addresses for the current Brass dancefloor craze. But he used some anti-clockwise tunes from The Klezmatics as well for a little "V"-effect in between. Use it to accompany your late-night drinking & dancing party or against your hang-over on the morning after - as you like. Enjoy.In Berlin DJ Soko and his BalkanBeats crew have already reached cult status with their driving club mix of Brass music, reworked traditional tunes and classic Jugo-krackers, exporting the event in the meantime as far as New York and Los Angeles. In 2006 their new "BalkanBeats (vol 2)" CD was released by the hot Berlin Eastbloc label.
