Östblocket

Östblocket is a Swedish brass-and-beats collective that’s been shaking up dancefloors since forming in Gothenburg in the 2010s. Known for their turbocharged fusion of Balkan brass, klezmer, punk energy, and electronic beats, they’ve built a reputation as Scandinavia’s rowdiest party-starters. Tracks like *Yes We Are A Swedish Balkan Band!* and *Silver & Guld* showcase their cheeky humor and knack for blending Eastern European folk traditions with modern Scandinavian edge. Their live shows are a sweat-drenched spectacle of trumpets, accordions, and bass drops, perfect for fans who want their folk music served with mosh-pit intensity. Whether they’re riffing on political themes or just hyping up a crowd, Östblocket turns every gig into a cross-cultural rave.
