Stefan Hantel alias Shantel, DJ and music producer from Frankfurt with genealogical roots in the Balkans, specifically in Bucovina, has helped with his "Bucovina Club" (Parties & plates) an incipient trend in the "new global Europe" final breakthrough. This unique, crazy cultural mix of tradition and modernity, East and West, Orient & Occident is so catchy, soulful and danceable immensely that he moved people around the world. Even on "perfectly ordinary" wedding guests come to me (as DJ) and Shantel want somewhere between Madness, Miriam Makeba, the Gypsy Kings and Brings. Just one experiences it to cool club parties where Shantel then seamlessly conforms to Jestofunk, Tüby Trio, Club des Belugas, or Badmarsh & Shri. Now on his first real solo album for quite some time to make it with the active support of musical rounders from around the world, so poppig- without however to act anbiederisch this Bucovina-Sound - to make that really is all about, fun and something for everyone is. A great success!
