Shantel & Bucovina Club Soundsystem

With his international megahit "Disko Partizani," Shantel became the audible face of a new music and dance culture worldwide. He was the first to give a cosmopolitan sound to contemporary pop culture, drawing from his multifaceted family roots. For Shantel, migration is both audible and danceable. Musical treasures from Southeast Europe, Greece, and the Middle East emerge in a new, multifaceted context. Shantel views his work as a musician as a creative reinterpretation of an ongoing discourse between theory and practice. The audible, tangible, and danceable results are always a product of his unique engagement with music as a specific expression of the historical, cultural, social, and political soundscape of a place. His output as a DJ, producer, and musician has always existed in the tension between tradition and modernity, as well as between analog and digital.
