The band says: In March 2001 in Berlin, eight musicians, well-known on the scene, acknowledged their already advanced Polkaholism. These POLKAHOLIX admit, after the first introductory drugs – Rock, Ska, Balkan music, German Folk and Klezmer – they are now totally addicted to 2/4 time. This drug is produced from hits and standards which are checked for Polka-suitability by the addicts, and, if necessary, forced sadistically into a Polkaholistic form. They have re-animated the Polka tradition of Berlin, understandably in their own way. 2/4 time and off you go – this is Berlin-Speed-Polka. The songs are well-known. Every German has hummed, sung or danced to them. New, however, is the way that they are presented by these Polka-maniacs. Germany, Bohemia, the Caribbean, Rock & Roll, Africa, local pub atmosphere, all that and more appears at some time and, mixed with each other, drags the listener into a grandiose sense of well-being and makes one addicted.

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
