Product Description Continuing their quest for a boundary-smashing party, Balkan Beat Box shakes up their intoxicating mix of Gypsy, Jewish, Arabic, and Mediterranean rhythms with a remix album for the dance-floor Nu Made takes BBB's syncopated pulse, intoxicating melodies and Semitic harmonies...lifted from ancient traditions (Washington Post) and fearlessly rearranges them into irresistibly danceable cuts. Nu Made includes remixes of BBB favorites like Hermetico , Habibi Min Zaman and Digital Monkey. The album features remixes by Turntables on the Hudson founder Nickodemus, Dub Gabriel, JDub label-mates Soulico, the iMeem/Ableton Live BBB remix contest winners and Balkan Beat Box themselves. BBB percussionist and co-bandleader Tamir Muskat says I define myself as a citizen of the world. As a whole, Balkan Beat Box wants to tell musicians that they shouldn't feel any shame in their roots and influences. This is what Nu Made represents the heartfelt work of artists that are globally inspired, nomadic and proud. Balkan Beat Box has curated this exciting record along those lines, reimagining their last two releases and updating them to match the ecstatic sound of the pursuit of peace around the world. Review Don't confuse Balkan Beat Box with one of those goofy world-fusion jam bands that peddle low-impact exotica to undiscerning ears. It may be a party band - its live shows are famously raucous - but its members have the spirit of researchers and activists. --Boston Globe

TOP Favorite!
Saw them live a couple of years back and immediately bought the CD! Awesome rhythm and overall music. They have managed to put together the culture of all of the Balkan Countries and have created an amazing combination of the classic street music with something that everyone can relate to. Amazing beats...AMAZING!

dance to a different beat
Heard a cut from this group used in a dance performance and liked it a lot so listened to samples and ordered this. They've been around a while but are new to me and I really enjoy the mash-up sound with its strong Balkan influence.

Funky as hell
This is a collection of remixes, and I have most of the tracks in the original versions, but every one has proved worth repeating - these remix versions give each a fresh new life that makes them almost as good as having brand new tracks. If you like Balkan Beat Box, these versions have all the zest and zing you expect of them; if you don't know BBB, this is a good, upbeat, lively introduction to their eclectic sound. Be warned, though - this is a two-disc set, but there is a single disc version without the music video and documentary, which is what I wound up with by opting for a marketplace seller instead of Amazon. It was cheap enough and I don't really need the video, but if you're after the full edition, I'd pay the extra and go for Amazon.

日常にないリズム感に戸惑う私
フジロックの放送がきっかけで購入しました。毎日マイカーで田舎道を飛ばすんだが、コレを聞いていると、映画のワンシーンにトリップした様な不思議な感覚になれるのが気に入っている。スピードの飛ばしすぎに注意☆
