5 April 2010
Thank you so muchhh!!! I needed a dutch guy to introduce me to Bulgarian music, and I’m Bulgarian :D. Greeting from Utrecht (I study here :D)
5 April 2010
By the way, is it possible for you to post the names and songs (maybe the time as well). I really want to know who’s the singer. THANKSS!!!
8 April 2010
very inspirational, great programming, digging and sampling bizniz! keep on keeping on!
8 April 2010
Ah cheers Stoned. Comments like this keep us keepin’ on.
8 April 2010
where did you guys get a hold of such obscure Balkanton vynil? I absolutely love the bang bang track and never knew it had a Bulgarian version…Could you give me the details of the release it came from – I really would love to be able to find it and buy it as a present for my partner, as we have an inside joke with the bang bang song. Greetings from spring-green Sofia!
8 April 2010
continued: I just found out Lili Ivanova performed a version of the bang bang song in Bulgarian, but the one in your mix is not her version, even the text is different (yet both carry somewhat the original meaning of the English lyrics)…so, I am really curious to know who sang it.
8 April 2010
Вие демоснтрирате изкуствен имтелект ли като всички пишете на аглийски. Я се стегнете момчете и момичете, че като заплющат едни български щамари дълго ще ви пищят ушите.
10 April 2010
Hey Anna, “Bang Bang” is from Mapraputa Paguhcka.
Balkanton BTM 6079. Don’t ask me about the details, this track is pretty obscure so good luck finding it. :)
Most records we used for our Bulgarian Mix were traded with Bulgarian DJ’s Skill and Nyzmo.
Радо: I can’t understand what you’re saying but I hope it’s all good. Peace out. :)
10 April 2010
Awesome set. Thanks.
27 April 2010
Truly Great Stuff! Keep on mixing and we’re waiting for the second edition! Thanks again.
@Rado: Ти не демонстрираш никакъв интелект.

Наздраве!

Изключително свежо, благодарим !

Много готино, харесва ми : ))

hello, great mix comrades!!! I have just one Q: how did you cut the samples from the film Time to Part/Vreme Razdelno/ – do you know bulgarian or someone helped, because the phrases are so in the right places! Congrats again for the marvelous mix!!!
7 May 2010
Felibeto: thanks, it’s the only reason why we make mixes (besides for our own creative fullfilment).
psycho_d: we had a lot of help from SoulTrotter, one of the Netherlands’ funkiest b-boys who also happens to be film director, actor and part Bulgarian. Check out his blog for more info: http://www.soultrotter.com/
Thank you all, it’s fantastic to see so many positive reactions!
7 May 2010
Psycho D and all the others,
I saw the film Time to Part several times and although I don’t understand one word of it (except nazdrave!) this film gives me the chills. I can feel what is going on at the marriagescene when the 100 bagpipers appear. No words need to be said.
This film goes deeeeeeeep!
We had 3 goals in mind when we started to mix this one:
First it was our intension to make a strict Bulgarian mix that touches all our Bulgarians friends deep in their heart.
Also our goal was/is to make the young Bulgarian generation aware of their own cultural history that despite of the hard hand of the communist goverment created some incredible beautiful songs.
Our last goal was/is to let the whole world know about Bulgarian’s rich history.
We share forgotten music…
All these comments above make us feel real warm inside!
Thanks to all of you.
Nezdrave!!!!
Frank the Tank
13 May 2010
superb sh*t ! :) very cool indeed.
13 May 2010
Super e!Bravo!!!
13 May 2010
I didn’t heared such a thing since the Estradashpere’s 1st album and song “Dance of Tosho and Slavi”. However you made a great job! Very nice mix! It’s remain to be strange, why good bulgarian music (remixes and interpretation) came from abroad (some exeptions of course).
I’be very greatfull if somebody can say, what is the track on minute 33. I’ve already lost a 2 days looking for. Thanks in advance.
15 May 2010
Къде му беше фънкът бе, говно гяурско? Да ти пикам и на претенциите, келеш с келеш свинеяден.
15 May 2010
nice Bulgaria rullzz
16 May 2010
Dear ddtlast,
On 33 minutes I think it’s Yordanka and her last name in cyrillic: ‘xphctoba’ (Hope it’s correct)
It’s a 45 on Balkanton (ofcourse) and the nr. is: BTK 3242.
Hope you can get some rest after 2 days of doubt….
18 May 2010
Thanks a lot,
it help me, but i still didt’n success. I coud’t find this 3242. Perhaps this is some compilation. Can you please tell be at least song’s name.
Very, very thank you in advance.
BR
19 May 2010
Hi BR,
It says something like: npbcteH ha pbkata
And I’m pretty sure it’s from before 1073 because someone wrote that year on the label.
Hope you can make something out of it.
By the way, it’s one of the few balkanton records I have with a picture sleeve.
Purple/green and two photo’s.

Шокиращо страхотен микс, още повече правен от холандци. .През 90-те правих такива комплиации от стари Балкантон плочи на наши изпълнители от 60-70 те години, които правят версии на западни песни. Но се оказа че и ние имаме от тогавашното време авторски композиции – суинг, шейк, би-боп, рок-енд рол. Да има фънк в миксът, страхотен усет между естрадна и народна музика, идеите с Капитан Петко Войвода и Време Разделно …. са велики. GREAT MIX , FRANK !
25 May 2010
жестоко! страхотен микс, наистина. пускам си го пак :))
25 May 2010

1 June 2010
awesome guys….made me smile! good to hear some bulgarian tracks from that time…awesome job on the mix!
1 June 2010
So many positive comments – we’re truly humbled by this, so Наздраве!
Also for those who might have noticed some weird noise in the mix at around 34 minutes, this is now fixed and so a fresh mix is waiting for you to download once more…
16 June 2010
Should we expect part 2 ? I would be very happy if you do another mix like this :)
16 June 2010
very nice work dudes, keep digging!
20 June 2010
This is amazing!
It’s strange that foreigners appreciate our precious culture but we stay ignorant…
Keep on doing your things, guys!
I am looking forward for something new from you !
20 June 2010
Very GOOD Music
20 June 2010
Thanks for the great mix guys, MASSIVE! Can you please tell us who sings the bang-bang cover? Thanks again and keep it up!
23 June 2010

This is a new and interesting variation. I love the singing actually and could listen to her with no band..
13 September 2011
Simply amazing. Noting more, nothing less … just amazing! Congrats, guys! It’s really a shame why bulgarian producers try to copy from the others, instead just to look into their own backyard, what treasure they do have – the magic of Bulgarian voices! Thanx again for creating this mix!
2 December 2011
great mix! what is the name of the song at 33:25 min!!!!
