'Boldly playing tunes no one else dares, Penny Metal is a DJ extraordinaire! Heart warming, life affirming and really good fun, Penny's unique and inimitable style is never limited by her love of all things Russian and Eastern European. She spins an irresistible and eclectic mix of tunes. And always with a huge smile!'
When I first started djing Eastern European music in 1995 people would laugh at me especially as I am English. I started in a squatted railway arch with a twin tape deck, two cassettes of Romanian folk music, 20 bottles of vodka and a bunch of people who danced so much they fell over. My tunes became known as 'Mad Tunes' for their astonishingly exuberant spirit; well how would you describe a very fast Romanian cymbalon tune? Or a rousing Russian tune that starts so slowly and ends so fast you don't know where to put your feet?
As a DJ my mission has always been to take these tunes and play them to people who never get to hear them. My mixes consist of horas, polkas, syrtakis, kolos, tarantellas, klezmer, Russian ska and Ukrainian pop. I have a reputation for unleashing the most unusual tunes on an unsuspecting audience!
And people love them! The vodka flows, arms flail and sweat pours from brows, and I get to witness some wild dancing techniques! Oi Oi Opa!
I am currently enjoying playing in Europe. At nights such as 'Soviet Reunion' to 'Loss: a night of Exquisite Misery' in London, Divan du Monde in Paris, to SchliwoBeatz and the OstFest in Vienna, BalkanBeats and BalkanXPress to the Köpi and the MS Stubnitz in Germany, and parties in Amsterdam, Berlin, Bucharest, Milan, Napoli, and Ariano.
Wooo! I love it!
My real passion is collecting vinyl records from Eastern Europe and Russia and I have accumulated a huge collection over the past 13 years. Records found in charity shops, flea markets and second-hand record shops all over Europe. The best tunes go on my compilations - Mad Tunes from around the World. These can be obtained from www.pennymetal.com
The Mad Tunes Show - where I play my vinyl collection - is broadcast weekly on a Thursday night on www.wirelessfm.net. These shows are available for download from the Wirelessfm forum.
I also host Soviet Reunion:Cossack Disko at 93 Feet East each month. Mad Tunes abound to a back drop of Soviet posters of fish paste and shoe polish. With guest Djs and live bands.
