Seine Arbeit, die bis in die 90er Jahre zurückdatiert, hat weltweit begeisterte Kritiken hervorgerufen. Seine Stücke wurden auf zahlreichen Compilations veröffentlicht und von Künstlern wie Bushwacka, Dreadzone, Danny Brioptte (Renegade Soundwave), Nathan Coles und vielen anderen ge-remixed.





Live spielt KIRIL mit einer 10- köpfigen Band auf, mit der in den letzten drei Jahren als Headliner auf einigen der größten Fesivals der Balkan- Region aufgetreten ist. (Exit, InMusic Festival, Greenfest, Urbanfest und vielen anderen).





Das neue Album von KIRIL ist gerade fertig gestellt worden und besteht wieder aus einem eklektischen und anspruchsvollen Mix von breakbeat-, dub step- und elektro-Grooves mit traditioneller Melodik und Instrumentation des Balkan. Eine Reihe von illustren Gästen liehen ihre Stimme dieser außergewöhnlichen CD: Ras Tweed (Kruder & Dorfmeister), Esma Redzepova, Nicolette Love (Massive Attack), Patrick De Santos (Thievery Coporation), MC Wasp und TK Wonder.






Neben seinen Solo- Alben schreibt, arrangiert und produziert Kiril Musik für Film, Fernsehen und Theater. Unter anderem für die Filme „Dust“ (Regie Milcho Manchevski), „The Great Water“ (Regie Ivo Trajkov – Preis für den besten Soundtrack beim Film Festival Valencia 2005)) und Balcancan (Regie Nilcho Manchevski). Für die Arbeit an der Theaterproduktion „Proud Flesh“ von Aleksander Popvski gewann er den Preis für die beste Musik beim Voydan Chernodrinski Theater Festival 2001 und für seine Komposition zum Ballet „La Capinera“, choreographiert von Michele Merola den Sonderpreis Musik beim Purgatorije Mediterranean Theatre Festival 2007.






Live wird seine Band verstärkt derzeit durch MCs GHETTO PRIEST (ex-ASIAN DUB FOUNDATION) und weitere Vokalisten.



ENGLISH BIOGRAPHY

Kiril (Dzajkovski) is a Macedonian composer and producer, who is regarded as one of the pioneers of Balkan electronica and the most successful and respected electronic artist from the Balkan region today. His style of mixing electronica and Macedonian and Balkan ethnic music influences dates back to the early nineties and had received fantastic reviews around the world ever since. Kiril's tracks have been included on numerous compilations worldwide and remixed by people like Bushwacka, Dreadzone, Danny Briottet (Renegade Soundwave), Nathan Coles and many others. Kiril performs live with a 10 piece band and in the last three years has performed as a headlining act at the biggest music festivals in the Balkan region (Exit-Festival, InMusic Festival, Greenfest, Urbanfest etc). He is also an accomplished composer of film and theatre music.

Kiril’s new album, due out early 2011(Universal Music) is again an eclectic and sophisticated mix of breakbeat/dub/electro grooves with Balkan ethnic melodies and instrumentation, featuring a selection of amazing international vocal talent. The first single from the album features the vocals of the UK MC Ras Tweed ( Kruder & Dorfmeister, Rockers Hi-FI, Overproof Soundsystem), a veteran on the European dub-electro scene and the legendary Macedonian singer ESMA REDZEPOVA, often regarded as the Queen of Roma music worldwide.

In addition to his solo albums, Kiril writes music for film, television and theatre.
He wrote, arranged and produced the soundtrack music for the feature films 'Dust' directed by Milcho Manchevski, 'The Great Water' directed by Ivo Trajkov (Best Soundtrack Award Valencia Film Festival 2005) and Balcancan directed by Darko Mitrevski and additional music for ‘Shadows’ directed by Milcho Manchevski.
Kiril has written music for numerous theatre productions, including ‘Proud Flesh’ directed by Aleksandar Popovski (Best Music Award, Voydan Chernodrinski Theatre Festival 2001), as well as the award winning contemporary ballet ‘La Capinera’, directed by Michele Merola (Special Music Award, Purgatorije Mediterranean Theatre Festival 2007).

Kiril recently did perform as part of the Official Showcase Festival selection at Womex 2010 in Copenhagen, Denmark, at the Concert Hall on October 30th. This was a special DJ/Live act performance featuring the magical trumpet of Serdzuk Aliov, violin concert maestro Vladimir Krstev and the explosive vocals of MC Ghetto Priest.

His work and his vita are most definitely impressive, but what Kiril presents on stage with his 10 piece band is simply breathtaking. They have been headlining the most important festivals in the balkan countries (Exit Festival, InMusic Festival, Greenfest...), and are now ready to conquer the rest of the world….




“Exotic and brilliant, Kiril does things with music that just shouldn’t be possible. KIRIL is , without any doubt, a musical genius and a true alchemist of sound. And Homebound is a masterpiece of sonic artistry and perfection.“ (ELECTROAGE)


“Fantastic stereophonic production that jumps from speaker to speaker on your stereo grabs you by the collar and moves your body to the beat of the music involuntarily. Absolutely great.”
(ARTS WEEKLY MAGAZINE)


“Kiril is a great example of genuine talent operating outside of the dance manistream that won't degenerate into complex noise loops. Innovative composition coupled with signature Macedonian accents warrant this piece a very high mark in my personal collection.”
(COOL AND STRANGE MUSIC MAGAZINE)


“The combination of traditional elements with excellent drum’n’beats works extremely well.“
(JAZZ FM RADIO UK)


“An excellent release from a very talented artist.”
(NET RADIO)


“Sounds like a soundclash between DEAD CAN DANCE and BREAKBEAT ERA via Ennio Morricone and Lalo Schifrin. Fantastic.”
(SURF 107.2 RADIO)


“Presenting his first solo album, KIRIL mixes drum’n’bass and break-beat schemes with exotic melodies from the Balkans and cooks this up into a groovy stew with chunks of acid jazz, funk, ambient and dub. The sound of Macedonian chants and the traditional instruments introduce a unique new “world music.”
