Every now and then you stumble across something special at an unexpected place. Like Gilles Peterson put it three years ago: “Travelling the world on the constant search for the perfect beat, a soulful source has been found in Zagreb where Eddy Meets Yannah have dispatched one of this years most soulful electronic forays. It’s all about Croatia baby!”
Indeed there are lots of things happening in the Balkan state. Every year there are over 10 million people spending their holidays at its Adriatic coastline making it one of the most popular tourist regions in Europe. Furthermore Croatia is scheduled to be the next country to join the European Union. And with their critically acclaimed debut “Just Like …” and the follow-up “Once In A While” the gifted duo Yannah Valdevit (producer, singer, musician, songwriter, arranger) and Eddy Ramich (producer, arranger, DJ) definitely put Zagreb’s flourishing yet unheard music scene on the map!
After two more great singles and some much praised remixes (of Arthur Verocai, Elisabeth Shepherd, Bobby Caldwell, etc.) finally the time has come for album number three: “Fiction Jar”!
With “Fiction Jar” the duo offers a joyful fusion of sophisticated soul, urban beats, future jazz and sweet R&B harmonies to die for. Guest features include rhyme spitter Capitol A, UK garage master Zed Bias and Ras T-Weed from the legendary Rockers Hi-Fi.
