The three masters of sample-delic extravaganza are back with their first proper album! They’ll debut the heavily anticipated release live in Šiška in March.
FOR FANS OF: The Avalanches, DJ Shadow, Druga godba …
After a handful of mixtapes, EPs, countless edits and a double single, Jimmy Barka Experience’s Jusqu’ici Tout Va Bien is a stylistically almost consistent, compact, neatly arranged and thoroughly produced – sometimes frantic, other times glacial – dance with the devil in the pale moonlight. The key component of the creative process is, as ever, trying out the new tracks live, then tweaking, adding, scraping, changing … and finally recording and mastering. The selection of samples is as usual all over the board, resulting in a complete mess of references – a bouillabaisse of hard funk, Afro fuzz, Brazilian interventions, Greek nostalgia, bluesy chants and digging escapades, with lots of vocals thrown in for good measure. So far, so good!
Jimmy Barka Experience is a rhythmic tour de force, a trio of two DJs and a drummer – Borja, Bakto, and Marjan Stanić. The three veterans of the Slovenian music scene skilfully avoid and evade the usual “musician playing along a DJ set” framework, preferring to make music equally, as a band. The result is a collage of all sorts of stuff, from funk, breaks, Afro, to Balkansploitation and rock. Their hectic mix goes on a wild yet harmonious drive from Peru to Baku, and in their approximately two decades of existence, they’ve toured stages in Slovenia and beyond, stopping at famous festivals such as Slovakia’s Pohoda along the way.
Before and after the gig, beloved local DJ and Big nose Ent. label head SunnySun will spin tunes.
Tickets on sale online and at Eventim outlets.
