„Stereo MC’s“ na „Nišvilu“ Stereo MC’s at Nišville
USKORO SOON
F amous British hip hop/electro funk band Stereo MC’s will perform as part of the main pro- gramme of the upcoming Nišville Jazz Festival on 16 th August, on the Pla- teau of Niš Fortress. This famous quar- tet, led by the band’s founding duo of Rob Birch and Nick Hallam, have been turn- ing heads with their infectious dance beats since they formed in 1985. Often herald- ed as one of the best ever British hip hop duos, limiting to just one genre of music is certainly a mistake. Rob raps lyrics, slogans and his person- al views on life through DJ mixes, which are combined with a live performance to result in an effective combination of funk and electro house elements that are strong- ly highlighted by phenomenal female soul backing vocals. Their beginnings are none- theless linked to what would later come to be referred to as dance. Their native city of Nottingham isn’t too far from Manches- ter, a city that was once infected by house fever that swept this major city in such a wave that it apparently also spread to them, prompting Stereo MC's to continue per- forming and developing a sound similar to that of the successful Happy Mondays at the time – though, again, differently and in their own unique way. The group achieved worldwide fame with the eponymous album and cult hit Connected. This track soared to number two spot in the charts of the best-selling releases of 1992, with the song itself be- coming a hit that has been a “secret” weap- on of every serious DJ dealing with this type of production for the last 30 years. As an album, Connected won the Brit Award for the best of the year and was includ- ed in the famous book 1001 Albums You Must Listen to Before You Die. The name- sake song was declared the world’s best dance track of 1992 by famous magazine Billboard. Recent years have seen the Ste- reos actively performing at festivals and staging standalone concerts continuous- ly without long breaks, ensuring they’ve been almost constantly touring the world. And they’re coming to Niš this summer!
Č uveni britanski hip-hop/elek- tro-fank sastav „Stereo MC’s“ nastupiće u glavnom programu predstojećeg „Nišville Jazz festivala“ 16. avgusta 2025. na Platou Niške tvr- đave. Ovaj poznati kvartet, predvođen osnivačima benda, dvojcem koji čine Rob Birč i Nik Halam, još od osniva- nja 1985. godine skreće pažnju svojim zaraznim plesnim ritmovima i često su najavljivani kao jedan od najboljih bri- tanskih hip-hop dua svih vremena. Ali svakako je pogrešno ograničiti ih samo jednim muzičkim žanrom. Rob repuje stihove, parole i svoje životne stavove preko di-džej matrica, što u kombinaciji sa živom svirkom re- zultuje efektnim spojem fank i elek- tro-haus elemenata žestoko obojenim fenomenalnim soul pratećim ženskim vokalima. Svoje početke ipak vezuju za ono što će se kasnije zvati dens. Njihov rodni Notingem geografski nije mno- go daleko od Mančestera, grada koji je svojevremeno zahvatila groznica hau- sa, a taj talas je toliko zapljusnuo ovaj
veliki grad da je očigledno dobacio i do njih samih, pa su „Stereo MC’s“ nasta- vili da rade i razvijaju ono što su tada uspešno radili „Happy Mondays“. Ali opet drugačije, na sebi svojstven način. Planetarnu popularnost grupi do- nosi album sa istoimenim kultnim hi- tom „Connected“. Te 1992. ova pesma se popela na drugo mesto najprodava- nijih izdanja godine, a sama numera postala je hit koji je već trideset i više godina i tajno oružje svakog ozbiljnog di-džeja koji se bavi ovakvom vrstom produkcije. Album „Connected“ se na- šao u čuvenoj knjizi „1001 album ko- ji morate poslušati pre nego umrete“, a osvojio je i „Brit“ nagradu za najbo- lji te godine. Istoimenu pesmu je ču- veni magazin „Bilbord“ 1992. progla- sio za najbolju dens numeru na svetu. „Stereo MC’s“ poslednjih godina aktiv- no nastupa na festivalima i samostal- nim koncertima u kontinuitetu bez du- žih pauza, maltene nalazeći se stalno na velikoj svetskoj turneji. A ovog le- ta stižu i u Niš!
