We're all aware by now of the irresistable ascent of so-called Balkan Clubbing. Championed by album and remix projects such as Electric Gypsyland and Shantel's Bucovina Club, this growing trend has seen dancefloors across the western world trade in their house or techno for lively, fresh and frantic sounds coming straight to you from south-eastern Europe.

Situated right in the heart of Pigalle, the Divan du Monde club has been the Parisian outpost of that scene, pioneering the genre for several years with their regular Nuits Tsiganes parties.

Compiled and entirely remixed by Gaetano Fabri, the resident DJ at the Nuits Tsiganes, the album presents a selection of tracks by established Balkan artists such as Taraf de Haidouks, Fanfare Ciocorlia, Kal, Kocani Orkestar, by fusionists such as Balkan Beat Box and Eastenders, and by up-and-coming Paris-based bands Beltuner, Romanshka and DJ clicK & Rona Hartner.
