Yonderboi - Pabadam video

Yonderboi- Pabadam, a classic electro song. László Fogarasi Jr. aka Yonderboi (born 1980 in Hungary) is a Hungarian composer. He experimented with music on his computer during high school. After his 16th birthday he sent a demo to "Juice Records". It was quickly followed by an EP called "Cinnamon Kisses". Later his single Pink Solidism was released on the Future sound of Budapest vol. 2 compilation. At the age of 18 he moved from his remote village Mernye to Budapest. After that he made his debut album Shallow and Profound, which brought him international recognition. In 2005 his second LP Splendid Isolation followed the line. His name is based on Yonderboy, a character in Neuromancer. A Junkie XL remix of his latest single, People Always Talk About the Weather is featured on the soundtrack of the racing game, Need For Speed: Carbon, while Soulbitch from the second album was featured in the FOX series Drive. His song "Were You Thinking Of Me?" was used in the game FIFA 08. Song "Follow Me Home" was used in the game Test Drive Unlimited. Song "Motor" was used in the game Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08. ---------------------------------- Shallow and Profound /2000/Mole Shallow And Profound entitles nineteen year old newly discovered Hungarian talent Yonderboi his debut album on Mole Listening Pearls. This album features an emotional and melodic, also saucy mixture of Downtempo, Trip-Hop, Lounge and 60ties Bar-Jazz. With Shallow And Profound Yonderboi presents an album with an exceptional tightness although it was recorded using simple methods and tools, and he also impresses the audience with his mature musical understanding. Yonderboi's manyfold influences vary from oldschool French Hip-Hop and nineties Trip-Hop to soundtracks of eastern European cartoons and cinema noir of the sixties. Yonderboi´s music transports his charming Eastern European identity with a special Hungarian flair. After graduation from high school, Yonderboi arrived in Budapest in the summer of 1999 with his friend, keyboarder Balazs Zsager. While still in the process of looking for a flat, they recorded the 'Shallow and Profound' album in an empty room of their record company's office building. The album featured full instrumentation, with original equipment including a 'Vermona' organ from the former East Germany. They only had to spend a few evenings inthe studio to lay down the vocal tracks and acoustic instrument layers, using vibraphone, accordion, sax and guitar. Mixing was done at home on a borrowed, home-made monitor desk. Yonderboi also managed to simultaneously use the time to work with keyboarder Balazs Zsager on the grooves and instrumentation for the solo record 'Bombajo' -Fantastic (Crossroads Records) by the young popular actor Ivan Kamaras. This became one of the hits of the Christmas '99 season in Hungary. Yonderboi's debut album, 'Shallow and Profound' promises to be the start of a glittering career. He still manages to remain modest and relaxed about the initial wildly-enthusiastic reactions from the test audience. He doesn't wish to take part in the material scuffles of the electronic music business, nor does he follow the electronic music fanaticism for trying to stay 'one day ahead.' Rather he chooses to stay with the simple melodic music, rooted in emotions, whose strong visual links show a unique and characteristic eastern European identity. Pabadam pababam
