Som big gypsy-steppin sounds right here from London-based Norwegian Bingoriot:

Here's a nice lil balkan house blend from Balkadan:
And here's what the man himself says about it:
A Balkan-Gypsy-House mix comprised solely of free tracks posted on Soundcloud! Look below for a tracklist with links to each of the tracks. Endless thanks to all the artists releasing AWSOME tracks for free and big-up Soundcloud for making it happen! Keep inspiration going 'round the world!
...also it has my tune Amyl Balkan on there so I had to post really... nice idea though doing a soundcloud-only mix, I can never remember where the hell I got tunes from personally unless they are represented by a circular piece of plastic

Just been randomly downloading free songs from last.fm and found these guys from Berlin: Budzillus. They're described as "trash gypsy swing core or street polk'n'roll" and I'm not going to do any better than that, but what really caught my attention were the crazy gypsy swing chiptunes they've got going on... regular readers should hopefully be aware that i'm of the opinion that the absolute height of human musical achievement has for the most part been in the form of computer game music and demo music so anything with a bit of a bleep turns my head instantly, especially if it's got a gypsy-cabaret-polka-twist...
so check these out:
Budzillus - It's up to You - pure genius, bouncy cabaresque game music
Budzillus - Minor Bit - Minor Swing in a glitchy chiptune setting




Opa Novy God have released a free album of totally rockin hyper skankin russian-balkan-klezmer-ska-punkery. According to their last.fm bio:
Following the traditions of festive brass bands, Oppa Novy God will make you happy with the cheerful songs and passionate dancing rhythms. Filled with unrestrained joy, band's music creates exceptionally festive atmosphere and promises authentic amusement and cheerful mood!
Can't argue with that! Check out this tune, the opener of their latest album, and I'm sure you'll agree:
The whole album, Original Goods, is free to download here:

So there's probably going to be a whole other dude posting on the blog soon - robbiefelixawesome (or maybe he wants a new name now), the original Untimely collaborator, the one guy who can regularly out-awesome me in terms of new / unexpected / crazy / and, well, untimely sounds... Which I'm excited about, as I think I get a bit too sucked into the whole Ghettotech (whatever that is) thing, which should only be a part of the whole Untimely thing (whatever that is).
Here's our original Untimely mix, back when the full Untimely Skank Sound System name was still in use... no fancy DJ tricks - in fact very little actual mixing at all per se - but this is one of my favourite mixes I've ever recorded. Tune after tune!
Untimely Skank Sound System - Summer 07 Mix
Tracklisting after the jump...

Here's a lil work in progress from me, a remix of my personal favourite Glitzy BagHags tune Steve D Weave... trying to do it in a bit of a UK Funky style, but I'm still not 100% sure what that is, so it is what it is I guess.
