{"product_id":"the-mauskovic-dance-band-down-in-the-basement-ep-vinyl","title":"The Mauskovic Dance Band - Down In The Basement EP | Vinyl","description":"The debut EP from The Mauskovic Dance Band - a heady, tropical blend of cumbia, Afro-Caribbean rhythms and space disco, resulting in a vibrant hypnotic groove destined for bustling dancefloors.\r\nThe Mauskovic Dance Band is the brainchild of the Amsterdam-based producer and musician, Nicola Mauskovic. A seasoned drummer, he finds himself constantly in demand - as part of Turkish psychedelic outfit Altin G¸n, a recent tour with the revival of Zambian legends W.I.T.C.H., and a worldwide tour with psych-pop artist Jacco Gardner, with whom he then went on to form the dance-oriented duo Bruxas (released on Dekmantel). Following this, he tapped long-time collaborators Donnie Mauskovic (vocals, keys, effects), Em Nix Mauskovic (guitar, synth, percussion), and Mano Mauskovic (bass) to make the jump from record to stage. Soon they caught the ear of fabled underground Cumbia producer Juan Hundred, who left his home on a Caribbean island to join the band on drums.\r\nWith each band member of varying heritage, the group draws inspiration from diverse genres: primarily Afro-Colombian styles such as champeta, palenque, cumbia and the picÛ soundsystem culture, as well as the Afro-Disco and No-Wave scenes in their current base of Amsterdam. The city's hotbed of underground producers has also brought an electronic edge to the band, with vintage drum machines and synthesisers effortlessly melding with Afro-Latin rhythms and slick guitar riffs to create a contemporary sound rich with cultural influence.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal ID: JITRE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 72 hours for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 12\" vinyl EP (140g vinyl), slip sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: World Music\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 3\/16\/18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Mauskovic Dance Band","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41711468216379,"sku":"EVP-5060571360038","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0375\/2873\/1707\/files\/down-in-the-basement-ep_ToMPi.jpg?v=1776996202","url":"https:\/\/record-stop.com\/products\/the-mauskovic-dance-band-down-in-the-basement-ep-vinyl","provider":"Record Stop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
