Playlist
by Foltin (Фолтин)

«It’s a hard task to peek five music videos from Macedonia, especially in the period from 2013 till now.» That’s what the Macedonian band Foltin answered, when we asked them to compile 5 video clips from the Republic of Macedonia. Finally they did the list but not without noting the following: «I think there is a creative gap for the Macedonian music in this time limit, except for the standard pop & pop-folk music pornography, they have been extremely creative for years.»


Artist: Bei The Fish
Track: Instant Generation

A very intelligent, West influenced, electro-pop sounding band from Skopje. Unfortunately, they’ve announced their career break a few months ago.


Artist: Molokai
Track: Duckdiving The Tsunami

They are very young and natural sounding surf-punk band from Bitola.


Artist: Parketi
Track: Republika Frankenstein

More than 20 years Parketi are on stage. With their wicked R’n’R–Punk approach, and often a Bitola-dialect lyrics, they have been searching their place under the sun, from extremely alternative stages, to Eurovision song contest.


Artist: Bernays Propaganda
Track: Леб и игри

This band from Skopje won the hearts of the audience very quick with their powerful live sound and socially – active lyrics, which they gained touring aggressively through Europe.


Artist: Kiril Džajkovski feat. MC Wasp & TK Wonder
Track: Jungle Shadow Woodstock Festival 2013

Video not available anymore.

Kiril is a Balkan maestro of the mass dance parties. His bombastic groove is always precisely spiced with live samples of the local entertaining gipsy brass music. And the cherry on the top is the erotic hip hop of TK Wonder. Party, Party, Party!

Biography

Foltin (Фолтин) is one of the most important Macedonian bands and has existed since 1995. Foltin’s music is hard to define, sounds unpredictable and challenging: surreal, passionate and witty, dynamic and full of surprises, blending many different music genres: Electro acoustic, Alternative rock, Funk, Bossa Nova, Ambient etc. Even though they use standard musical elements, their approach in creating the atmosphere is unpredictable and above all, original. Live performances made Foltin famous, they are often theatrical (cabaret-like) and often turn into real performances.
