About Jimmy Barka Experience

Jimmy Barka Experience is an interesting music collaboration between two DJs and a drummer, and that makes them a unique example of such a band on Balkan grounds. The trio consists of DJ Bakto, DJ Borka (Good Foot crew) and Marjan Stanić, a renowned Slovene percussionist who is also a member of Čompe, Bast, Vasko Atanasovski Trio, Lolita and many more groups. Though the members of Jimmy Barka Experience are coming from different music backgrounds (Stanić is more into ethno and jazz), they have found an exceptional bond in combining live drumming with electronic samples and mash-ups produced with turntables, using a special technique called "turntablism". Their music is a fine mixture of funk, breakbeat, Balkan rhythms, rock and afro sounds, escorted by powerful live performances, highly suitable for wild dancing. Jimmy Barka Experience (named after Džimi Barka, a character from an old Serbian film called When I'm Dead and Gone) first appeared on the monthly funk event called Zeleno Sonce held at Gala hala in 2010, since then they have opened for Ursula Rucker and Parov Stelar, and have also performed a wide number of solo shows on different festivals and in clubs through Slovenia.
