YU DISCO EXPRES

Description

A long-lost Yugoslavian jazz-funk and disco masterpiece is finally back! Released in 1979 on the iconic Jugoton label, Igor Savin and Orkestar Stanka Selaka's YU Disko Expres is a true rarity – an electrifying fusion of jazz, funk, electronic music, and traditional folk elements. Decades ahead of its time, this album remains a surprisingly modern and danceable sonic exploration, seamlessly blending synthesizers, brass arrangements, and deep, infectious grooves. Igor Savin, one of Croatia's most respected composers and a pioneer of electronic music, was a key figure in fusing contemporary jazz with emerging electronic sounds. A classically trained musician with a passion for jazz, he left a lasting mark on the region's music scene, working in film, television, and avant-garde composition.
