Градот ме тера да пеам

Градот ме тера да пеам
Го живеам својот сон
Градот ме тера да пеам
Грешам половина тон

Во улица тесна
Изнудува песна
Градот ме тера да пеам
Наутро рано
пред оџа да писне
Грло ќе стисне
Запевам

Огногрло суво
за ничие уво
сировица прачка
со пепел го мачкам
Намерно нее
Запеав случајно
Губам мера
Кога градот ме тера

Пакости ми смера
На музика ме тера
Живеам во блен
Песни секој ден
Напредуваш ме фали
Вика Опасен си мали
Па шкрабам цело утро
по екранчето кутро

Моите песни биле бесни
недоволно лесни
Везден сум ги пеел со другари чесни
Но голем сум и знам
дека можам сам
Вика сака да ме гушне
Тебе нема кој да слушне

Градот ме тера да пеам
Го живеам својот сон
Градот ме тера да пеам
Грешам половина тон

Варош моја стара
На песна наговара
Као другари сме стари
А спомиње и пари
А песнопоец на сред село
стаза не е лесна
Замислив се видов себе
живеам од песна

Градот ме тера да пеам
Го живеам својот сон
Градот ме тера да пеам
Грешам половина тон

This is very cool. Techno as modern as it gets right now. Fast but not aggressive, metallic but incredibly groovy, just past prime time material. Goes well in the mix with a hazy melodic fast stuff. You can leave the mix at 04:25 AM and go to the bathroom for whatever reason. If you’re djing of course. Proper no bullshit club stuff. And it’s free!
Goran Kan (aka Kerkez) knows his trade. He’s always been a techno banger of sorts, but being grown up (almost:) as well as experienced, he sounds very mature, almost polished, but still exciting choice for a intelligent dj set. Own a music taste? Love techno? Go for this!

One of the greatest hits of the Macedonian musical 20th century. Original version out in 2003, it conquered the hearts and minds of the Macedonian club goers and radio friendly stuff. The first single and also hit for the controversial PMG Kolektiv. They revisit and of course re make this lovely number some 20 years after, only to find the young lady more or less on the same page where they left her. Jokes on the side, this is a great tune for those moments when people have fun. Very Moroderesque, very club friendly affair. Get it. Fast.

Well this is a beautiful song. A radio hit. Cool pop tune. POP, do we not like it? A proper PMG Recordings release. Just tune in and pay attention to Aleksandar Veliki… that’s Alexander the Great to all of you NON Macedonians 😉 Great announcement to his 3rd solo album and a happy happy occasion.
Oh, yeah… and it’s free download 🙂

Come down to psychological issues, i’m pretty much a self diagnosed man. Won’t brag about it, but i got reasonably good at it lately, since finally diagnosing my life long disease. It’s a severe case of obsession with the city i live in. Skopje. The only problem is that i diagnosed my self too late to do anything substantial about it, apart from writing songs. This one is one of those and it is a gift to you guys. Touch me i’m sick, so what…

Скопје е дијагноза. Пред се моја лична, приватна дијагноза. Знаете, јас сум поет, писател помалку. Пишувам за себе лично уште од крајот на 70тите. Моите пишани нешта ги објавувам, или ги објавуваат други, уште од почетокот на 90тите. Последниве 20 години имам напишано преку 300 текстови кои ги пеам во своите песни, нели музичар сум, имам објавено 20тина авторски албуми. Некои луѓе пишуваат љубовни песни, некои продаваат ангажирана, дневнополитичка реторика. Ако погледнете во мојата лирика, ќе забележите една генерална, но и доста детална опседнатост со Скопје. Јас сум буквално опседнат со овој град и пишувам за него во континуитет. Скопје е мојот Њу Јорк, мојот Лондон, мојот Берлин. Никогаш не се помирив со тоа дека мојот град не е доволно “кул“ и целиот мој живот… more

There’s nothing we can say about this song other than this Paul McCartney quote:

“You’d think that people would have had enough of silly love songs
I look around me and I see it isn’t so
Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs
And what’s wrong with that
I’d like to know
‘Cause here I go again
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you”

Pioneering Macedonian electronic dance scene in the early 90s and spending a life time djing around the country and Europe, Mirko Popov is one of the rare few originals you can find this days. It’s been three vibrant decades of pushing the dancefloor for him, as well as countless productions to rock clubs with. PMG Kolektiv and Kanton6 are his two best known musical incarnations. Mirko Popov Quartet is a brand new installment, especially designed for a maximum dance floor impact, but still quite melodic and even almost keeping his slightly out of tune trade mark vocal. Devoted to play it live, his music is a compact sublimation of his epic experience in clubs and of course, the incredibly eclectic musical knowledge.
