Slamboree - Neo Balkan Rave Circus at Shambala

LO Peachi here - Hey hey, been a while and welcome to the end of the summer wind down. Good to see C-Ra last night and reminded me I used to write for a music blog... cobwebs off, here we go!

Top musical highlight for me this summer was checking out Slamboree at Shambala. Although I think SGP is by far the better festival on all fronts, Shambala did serve up this little gem. Pumping dubstep with live acoustics and a crazy amount of circus style things on stage. I did have the pleasure of camping next to them and hearing their rehearsal in the back of their Luton van - sounded great there too. Loads of crazy energy and great fun at 2am. Here's one favourite - but the other free downloads on soundcloud are also good ;-)

The other main highlight was PLAY festival which rocked the juggling festival type genre thingy. Great to have it back on the calender and sporting some of the best shows and workshop selections this side of Chrisendom! Off to Brizzle now for the last juggling fest of the season - back home to the heart of the British Juggling scene....AAAAaahhhhhh!

Here's Slamboree on facewaste... and another blog with a video of them on it. Book these people for next year now...THEY ROCK!

Here's some stuff by their DJ I think - Frear. This is a great free 30mins mix starting with a great sample - very high energy shnizzle ;-)
