THE MAUSKOVIC DANCE BAND

The Mauskovic Dance Band is the brainchild of Nicola Mauskovic- Amsterdam based producer and multi-instrumentalist. Combining elements of Cumbia, Afro-Carribean rhythms, & Space Disco in equal measure to create a unique hypnotic groove, The Mauskovic Dance Band has become a staple of festival stages and sketchy nightclubs across Europe since 2016.

Nicola 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 immediately left his home on an uncharted Caribbean island to join the Mauskovic Dance Band on drums.

After several tours, criss-crossing the European continent, the Mauskovic Dance Band now readies their first EP, produced by Nicola Mauskovic and slated for release sometime in 2018.
