while i'm in music recommendation mode, i know this artist personally. he was shocked when i bought the first one linked above, didn't have any way to actually get paid for it.

sadly a very neglected scene, the Sofia underground electronic music scene, so much so that most of the artists went back to other things because it was so hard to make money playing gigs in their home town, and the incroachment of the EU snuffed out the underground culture steadily from 2007's accession until now, basically was dead by 2014.

but at least you can listen to some of teh sounds inspired by the dusty, black soil, thermal spring riddled land of the Serdika Plateau.

the second one hilarious pun you have to have lived on the streets of Sofia to understand... kartoni network... karton is the way they say 'cardboard' and usually refers to what you roll to put a tip on a joint.

also the label, 'mahorka records' - mahorka is originally bulgarian gypsy slang (ciganski) for a cigarette rolled out of cigarette butts and often with 'karton' for the tip and very often using 'vestnik' hartiya, newspaper, as the wrapping.

dirty things that you learn in the dirty, warm drains of the serdika plateau.
