Slavic Soul Party - Teknocheck Collision
Slavic Soul Party - Teknocheck Collision
SSP!’s third cd tells the tale of Serbian-Gypsy-American automechanic and amateur filmmaker Gus Dejan, and is named after his garage in Queens, NYC. The perfect mix of blazing brass, Gypsy accordion, dance grooves, and tight tunes show SSP! at the forefront of a new wave of hybrid world music, joining the ranks of bands such as Antibalas and Gogol Bordello.
“Of all the NYC dance bands that draw on Eastern European music, Slavic Soul Party! is the coolest. And the group isn’t preoccupied with rebelling against the Old World. The Big Easy funk influence on the band’s recent Teknochek Collision adds a welcome laid-back quality to Balkan-brass frenetics. Live, the band’s members prove they are acutely aware of the common principle that unites the traditions they borrow from: Music ought to move you.” — TimeOut NY
