Well well, Shantel! With a new CD out at the end of the year, via Crammed. That’s rather 'top secret' for the moment though.

What do we know then? That Shantel is irresistible live. Really lively and forceful fun from beginning to end.

Just like his last visit, the tour sweeps through under the title: Shantel & Bucovina Club Orkestar: Anarchy & Romance! We could quite easily add '& dance' to that too.

As partying is a must with this German-Romanian disco-star producer (or dancefloor-grandmaster, or Balkan-sound server?)

Previous projects were called ‘Disko Partizani’ and ‘Planet Paprika’. What will it be this time? ‘Party Piquant’?

Meanwhile, a quick review of his bio for the Shantel-layfolk? Shantel is that extremely talented man behind Bucovina Club. That Club, or that concept, is now known worldwide for its sweltering vibe. One based upon an ecstatic mix of DJ tricks and Balkan sounds. Or better still: Bucovina-vibes!? Shantel thereby refers to his origins in Bucovina, an area between Moldavia and Bessarabia (or more broadly: Romania and Ukraine).

But especially: Shantel feels very much at home on a stage, in a full, churning, insane AB, for example.
