Crazy Swing (ft Saedi)

from DELADAP Hosted by DELADAP

Deladap Made In Mexico This album is an expression of DelaDap’s deep-felt thankfulness to their fantastic audience in Vive Latino! Festival in Mexico, whose amazing support for this concert made the trip into the definitive highlight of the band’s nine-year history. Which makes Made in Mexico even more enjoyable elsewhere… although a Mexico tour with this album in your luggage is certainly not a bad idea! Going back to the creative roots of the Made in Mexico album, DelaDap, founded 2004 in Vienna, along with mastermind Stani Vana, who also functions as the producer, DJ, and occasional vocalist of the band, have always welcomed artistic challenges with open arms. However, when two musicians recently cancelled practically moments before the departure date for a concert at the Vive Latino! Festival in Mexico City causing the line-up to unexpectedly crumble, even Vana had to take a deep breath. And then – as always – he picked himself up and got right back to work… He created totally new versions of the ten best and most-loved DelaDap tracks, composing an amazing set of their old and new hits, including Straight Ahead/Samo Pravo, Crazy Swing, and Don’t Turn Around. Add to this the new single I Do, an early premonition of the upcoming studio album “Love & Do”, and you have a delicious cherry on the cake of the fine musical medley aptly titled All the Best of the Old Stuff. When singer Tania Saedi showed up on the scene, absorbing the songs in record time, it became clear that the continually changing creative puzzle that is DelaDap was once again complete. The rest is history. DelaDap’s concert in Mexico (which was Saedi’s first ever performance with the band!) was an absolute triumph. Audience and band were totally on the same wavelength, playfully celebrating life, music, and dance. Overwhelmed by this stellar experience, it quickly became clear that something more had to happen with these fantastic new song versions, even more so because Tania Saedi was now a permanent member of the band. The Made in Mexico album took form, a collection of familiar DelaDap tracks dressed in new acoustic garb and with the new voice of the band. It may be true that these numbers were originally produced for Mexico, but their final shape took form in Mexico along with the band that played them – truly made in Mexico!

I Know What You Want DELADAP DeladapI Know What You WantHot on the heels of Deladap`s well recieved maxi-single „Gipsy Kicks“ comes „I Know What You Want“, the eagerly awaited fourth album by this Viennese sound-lab (and impressive live-force!) envisioned and put on the tracks by Dj and Producer Stani Vana back in 2004. Deladap was never – and will never be! – one of those acts that once establishes a successful musical formula and then runs with it, in the process endlessly repeating themselves. From the beginning of their quest to mix Roma music and contemporary club- and electronic sounds their music always and steadily evolved. Along the way Deladap were always broadening their artistic grip on both – traditional elements from a wide range of backgrounds as well as on the freshest exploits of urban-music and dance-culture. With Deladap there is always fresh-eared musical curiosity and constant exchange. Between the frenzy and the heated dance-fests of their live-work, where they celebrate the moment with Cigani Ruzsa Angelo (Remastered Special Edition) DELADAP "how can gypsy music and modern club-sounds go together without losing their essence?" Stani Vana, Vienna based producer, dj and musician answered this question with Deladap ´s first album “Cigani Rusza + Angelo“, released in 2004. To get there he undertook a two year plus musical journey ac companied by lots of actual travelling to capture the magic of his childhood. Vana was then deeply touched by the wor ld and music of three Roma families that lived in the neighborhood.A rich music full of melancholy, pain, beauty and s ensuality. Music that very likely always has been present during Vana´s own musical trip, that found him heavily involved i n the electronical sounds and beats that provided the soundtrack for a club-scene that imagined the dancefloor as some sort of urban utopia, where daily life and the distance between people were transcended. The desire to bring these wo rlds together laid the roots for the “Urban Gypsy Sound“, that !Dela Dap defined. The traditional Ro
