sabena, that would be greatly appreciated.
all i can say is that it was a "dance" party, so the dj was mixing a lot of things together, but they were all eastern european artists. i'm not sure how much was the dj and how much was the tracks, but it sounded like traditional folk, dub, new wave, goth, and hiphop/triphop all in a span of a few minutes. i think it very well may have been mixed that way in the original music.
the thing that was so cool about it was that it crossed eastern european folk dances with such a wide variety of modern styles. i'm pretty sure it was the artist's doing and not the dj.
i've been looking for this ukrainian band "foa hoka" that surfaced in a web search for this stuff, but i'm not sure if it's what i heard. i also picked up a vladimir vysotsky record which is cool, but not what i'm looking for in this case. i think gogol bordello is closer to the mark. if there were a slightly older influence on them that was a little more hip hop or electronic and a little less punk, but retaining the traditional folk element, that would probably be it. recently i found W Witrynach Odbicia and it's cool sounding, but missing the folk dances.
thanks so much
