You know, there is a word that says … “the success comes once but you prepare a life (or anyway some good years, too) for this”. And when the success comes after some intermediary phases usually lasts many years.

First, when I heard this song – Sunshine … below is a remix which features DJ Sava and ConnectR I couldn’t believe that is Romanian. But, in the end I got along with the music success of “our people” so I said – great, another extraordinary tune.
Check out this remix:

… and the original version:

Having a keen interest in music, DJ Sava began his career as a dj in 1990, when the first taste of playing to a crowd was given to him: Disco Vox Maris, Costinesti, at the Black Sea. From this beginning, DJ Sava played an important number of gigs around the country, wowed clubs and captivated dance floors by mixing along in important house events like “Freedom Festival”. At the present time he is undoubtedly a very well known dj, producer and remixer, representing one of the major labels in his country, “MusicVision”. His first single, as a producer, was “Gone Away”, a great track, which succeeded to become a hit, and also to get in the charts and playlists of great international djs like: Joachim Garraud, J Joy, Santos etc. After spending a year perfecting his producer skills, his label decided to release DJ Sava’s first album: “Love Drops”, and first video “I Remember” (feat. Dana Nicula), played by different music televisions in Europe (MTV, Kiss TV etc) and included it in their charts on top positions, by visitor’s vote. “Love Drops” is a very comlpex album, which includes also collaborations with important artists and songwriters: Dj Andi, Activ, Lucian Barbulesu, Connect-R, Chris Mayer, Adrian K etc. This autumn finds DJ Sava in the middle of filming his new video for “Sunshine” (feat. Connect-R), a new single with a different and spectacular new sound and vibes. Major djs like: Angel Anx, Treitl Hammond and very soon Djuma SoundSystem, have already remixed this new single, included it in their playlists, and commented it as “a real top hit”. Despite all his producer activities, DJ Sava, constantly returns to where it all began, namely in the clubs to his fans. You can visit his official website and MySpace Page.

Connect R made his debut in the Romanian hip-hop in 1997 through the band Giganzii. The first song was called Observ, taken from the compilation Real Hip-Hop. In 1998 is edited a new edition of the same compilation which contains the song Operatia pe cord deschis. The song had also a video which was broadcasted at MCM Romania in the period of tv station’s launch.
Connect R is known as part of the R.A.C.L.A. hip-hop band but also due to the various collaborations with important names from the Romanian music like Simona Nae, Arsenium, Loredana and Alex.
In 2000 Connect-R works with R.A.C.L.A. on the albums Plus Infinit and Patratul Rosu and after these teamed up with Rimaru to be part of the project which issued the album DEXteritate.
In 2007 Connect-R has decided to come back with a new album which is the result of two years of work and all the songs keep the R&B feeling which is his favourite music. The album contains 11 songs, some of them being in cooperation with Alex, Smiley, Matteo and Don Baxter.

The first single from the album – Daca dragostea dispare follows the hit featuring Alex – Daca dragostea dispare, the 2nd single from the album Yamasha.
I am happy to include DJ Sava & Connect-R in the Romanians of the Day section.
