Sarajevo by Lovski

Lovski, alias Igor Sekulović, is redefining the Balkan musical landscape. A master guitarist and erstwhile "Projekt Rakjia" band member, he forges an uncanny blend of traditional folk melodies with dance, electronic and rock energy, officially lunching what he calls “Diskoteka Yugoslavia”.

His debut single “Sarajevo” —produced in collaboration with Napoli's producer Raffaele "Whodamanny" Arcella—ventures through Italo-disco pulses, funk grooves and synthesizers swirls, all anchored by the call-and-response warmth of Balkan traditions. Lovski’s signature lies in his seamless genre alchemy. He honors regional roots without succumbing to nostalgia, instead reframing folk elements as raw material for global dancefloors.

In a scene ripe for innovation, Lovski stands out as both torchbearer and trailblazer—proof that the Balkans still have surprises to offer, and that the old and new can coexist in brilliant harmony.
