“YUGO”: … a person of YUGO-slavian origin who sometimes immigrate to western European countries (such as Germany, Sweden, Italy, Austria or Switzerland) and is often discriminated by natives of those countries who think that all YUGOs are criminals…”

GERMAICA is in full gear again when Riddim No.19 of Europe’s Dancehall machine is ready to enter the clubs! And once again the label is introducing a brand new trend: “Balkan Dancehall”!

… Dancehall culture saw an enormous growth within the last decade and the music has spread all over of the globe. Like MILLION STYLEZ in “Dancehall Takeover” – the lead tune of the release – says: “Dancehall a world-wide ting right now!”… The instrumental of the “Yu Go! Riddim” is a good example for that. It’s a perfect blend of an authentic sample from the Bosnian 80s music and an up-to-the-time Dancehall beat. It was produced by EMIR “YOUTHMAN” KOBILIC, Bosnian immigrant to Sweden and one half of the dynamic “Balkan Dancehall” duo SANJIN & YOUTHMAN”, who provided the first single on the riddim called “Runnin’ Dis Town”. Carrying an unique vibe his debut Riddim is destined to make all girls swing and the rudies salute!

Further contributions come from a new and hungry generation of young European Artistes like LAS BALKANIERAS (HR/BiH/RUS), SEROCEE (UK), GNUCCI BANANA (S), TOM HYPE (A) or RIGO (S), as well as established forces like the mentioned MILLION STYLEZ (S), RED FOX & MR. EASY (JA) or JOEY FEVER (S).

The “Yu Go! Riddim is available digitally from today…

English version below… Skvibolaget GERMAICAs senaste signing, bosniensvenskarna SANJIN & YOUTHMAN, kombinerar sitt östeuropeiska arv med den urbana ljudbild som omger dem i västeuropa. Duons debutsingel ”Runnin’ Dis Town” är en kärleksfull drift med deras självbild och en hyllning till deras ursprung. Låten kulminerar i textraden ”Let me tell u bout the place that we come from – the place that European gangsters get guns from”.

Den digitala midtempo-dancehallinstrumentalen av ”Runnin’ Dis Town” kommer att släppas som GERMAICAs nya riddim, under namnet ”Yu Go!”. Listan på gäster är lång, till exempel LAS BALKANIERAS, MILLION STYLEZ, RED FOX & MR. EASY, GNUCCI BANANA, JOEY FEVER, SEROCEE, TOM HYPE med flera. Riddimet producerades av EMIR “YOUTHMAN” KOBILIC och är en perfekt mix av en autentisk sampling av en bosnisk låt från 80-talet och ett hypermodernt dancehallbeat. Med sin unika vibe kommer de nya Balkan Dancehall-ambassadörerna SANJIN & YOUTHMAN otvivelaktigt att få tjejerna att dansa och killarna att göra honnör!

With this one Leipzig’s premier Sound UPLIFTMENT INT’L enters the producers arena! Gaining experience in the studio by producing their Mixes and Dubs it was just a matter of time until the crew would start releasing their very own voicings…. And here we go with their debut the “Question? Riddim”! The instrumental is provided by DREADSQUAD from Lodz/Poland but some “Questions?” are left:

1st Question?: Why JAH MASON records his 1999 smash hit “Fire” again as FIRE 2011?

2nd Question?: Why the WARD 21 tune JUMP & SKIP was released previously already on a different label?

3rd Question?: Why DR. RING DING with German/French origin is biggin’ up POLISH VODKA?

4th Question?: Why two Muslims like SHABU & REBELLION recorded KEEP ME ORIGINAL their combination with lyrics about God in a city the Pope blessed not too long ago?

5th Question?: Why JR. BANTON & MANDINGO sound like they recorded their tune DAGGADANG back in 1992?

6th Question?: Why TOM HYPE – first Artiste on our newest local division “Germaica Austria” sings all the lyrics of his tune in Patois except for the word EUROS?

7th Question?: Why LAS BALKANIERAS’ song was renamed from “Marin” to MLADEN?

8th Question?: Is it just coincidence that CHEEBA of EastWest Rockers from Wroclaw calls his contribution to the riddim WYSOKI LOT which means “Fly High” just like the dance of Upliftment Int’l?

9th Question?: Are SANJIN & YOUTHMAN signed to “Germaica Balkans” now and is their tune VADIM PISTOLJ supporting the violence in the Dancehall??

10th Question?: Why the DREADSQUAD relick of the classic “Answer” Riddim was re-named to QUESTION? ?

Was haben die Songs “Vom Vatter”, “Doctor’s Darling”, “Bombs Over Baghdad”, “Mafia” und “Dancehall Nice Again” gemeinsam? … Sie sind die größten Hits des vergangenen Jahrzehnts von Dr. Ring Ding, dem Live-Protagonisten des zweiten Besuchs der “Fly High!“-Crew in Altenburg, und sie wurden allesamt von PIONEAR für GERMAICA, produziert, dem Label das hinter Leipzigs No.1 Dance steckt…

Seit dem ersten gemeinsamen Auftritt in Leipzig, zum 5. GERMAICA-Geburtstag 2004 auf der AGRA, hat der “Doktor” unermüdlich solo, oder mit verschiedensten Projekten wie KINGSTON KITCHEN oder DUB GUERILLA in aller Welt getourt. Er hat letztes Jahr das Album “Dancehall Nice Again” über KINGSTONE veröffentlicht, daß einen guten Überblick über sein Dancehall-Schaffen der vergangenen Dekade bietet und so seinen Status als einzig wahrer europäischer Reggae-Veteran zementiert…

Und so wird es wieder – wie beim Altenburg-Debut mit den LAS BALKANIERAS eine unvergessliche Nacht in der “Music Hall” werden, wenn die Reudnitzer Räuber aka UPLIFTMENT INT’L gemeinsam mit dem Ska-, Rocksteady und Reggae-Shouter aus dem Münsterland eine Vintage Night feiern…

Time to “Fly High!” again ABG!

Las Balkanieras (Хорватия, Босния, Россия, Германия )

турбо-электро-поп-фолк – трэш-поп-дансхолл

Три прекрасные девушки из России, Хорватии и Боснии встретились в Дюссельдорфе, поняли, что они могут «делать хиты, петь, танцевать, готовить, стирать и мыть полы», решили попробовать реализовать все эти свои способности. Для этого они подружились с известным дансхолл-продюсером по имени PIONIR и быстро записали несколько треков и клипов; а также выступили с импровизированным концертом на большом фестивале в Хорватии, после чего стали там дико популярны. Осенью у них выходит первый альбом под названием Food Love Music. Девушки, поющие как минимум на четырых языках (включая русский), называют свой стиль турбо-электро-поп-фолк или просто трэш-поп-дансхолл – и оправдывают это самоопределение не только музыкой, но и своим поведением на сцене.
