Secret 47
Biografía
SECRET 47 is the fruit of a collaboration between Yacine & Genti which
started at the Exit Festival in 2008. Since then they have played
together in numerous clubs around the Balkans and Europe and started
to build up their reputation as a unique Back 2 Back team and played
along side Johnny D (Germany), Anja Schneider (Berlin), Dave Mothersole, OXIA (Paris), Terry Francis & Nathan Coles (London), Kabale
und Liebe (Amsterdam) and many more. Their tours have brought them to
unique clubs such as OFF SONAR (ESP), Q Club (Zurich), Nordstern
(Basel) etc. Known to have combined their talent to bring the best
electronic beats and rythms to the clubbing connoisseurs, their
performances always leave a lasting impression. Strongly influenced by
Oriental roots and inspiration, percussions, drums, vocals and
deep/tech house grooves are a signature of their style. But most of
all, it's the energy that they deliver and share which make their
performances unique.
Genti – Life in Short
Genti was born with a silver turntable in his mouth. Well, kind of.
His aunt Ilirjana, a famous pop singer, took him to see his uncle Ilir
(the first DJ in Kosova) playing at a club. He was 5-years-old, the
legal age to party in Kosovo :-) He watched his uncle on the turntables
mixing funk and soul music, feeling the energy it gave to people and
knew right there and then that music would be a big part of his life.
At the tender young age of 11, he and his brother opened a small tape
recording company called Music Box where they created a wide rage of
music compilations using cassette tapes. He still uses cassettes on a
regular basis and is lobbying fiercly with Pioneer for the creation of
the first "TapeDJ-1200", the outcome of this device still to be
decided, although it's not looking to good.
He studied in New York City graduating in Travel, Hospitality and
Business when he and his brothers Noki & Probus
founded Buyrum (www.Buyrumnyc.com) in 2000 - a promotional company that began organizing boat parties and gigs
at hotel penthouses throughout the city. In 2005, he co-founded the More Lounge in mid-town Manhattan, a
successful small club that was known for its excellent afterhours which kept the doors open until the sun rised.
2006 he founded Spray Club
(www.sprayclub.com, www.myspace.com/sprayclub) with his cousin
Bersant. SPRAY Club is located 2 km outside the capital city of
Prishtina, in Kosovo. In the next 2years SPRAY became one of
the best 100 clubs in the world by DJ MAG.
Yacine
After following the electronic scene and traveling to the 4 corners of
the globe on a quest to find the best parties and events since 1997;
Yacine’s real start behind the decks was in 2007.
Motivated by some of
the best electronic DJs in the Balkan, he decided to take it to
another level and start sharing his musical style. Hard to classify in
one particular music genre or character - Yacine will always surprise
the crowd by bringing different and unique rhythms together from all
over the world in one blend of electronic delight.
His sets go beyond
just playing music: they’re about sharing moments and giving people
a great time. In the past few year, he’s performed with DJs such as
F.E.X (Paris), TITO (Paris), Dave Mothersole (Rain) or Anja Schneider.
He also wishes
his biography was longer but he prefers letting his mixing do the
talking...
