Ichisan & Nakova

Artist bio

Ichisan & Nakova (Igor Škafar & Jure Plestenjak) hail from Slovenia, one of the republics of former Yugoslavia. Over the past few years the pair has steadily been carving out a name for their unique style of nu disco, called Yugo Disco, which is already becoming a music brand of its own. Beside this Ichisan & Nakova has become well recognized with their innovative DJ sets. The two of them combine a great artistic whole – Igor is one of the most prominent Slovenian photographers with great sensitivity for visual and auditory art, who started his relationship with music playing guitar in various bands. He has later developed preference for electronic sounds, which he blended with his organic feel and started producing his own projects. Jure is a very well established DJ and a vinyl collector, who has an over 10 year status - he started with Detroit house in the early days to all sorts of breaks and disco house later on. With their attributes and background they ideally complement each other, which is why their music and their sets are so unique. When they produce they basically live together for a few days at a time and work on music day and night – coming up with ideas, playing the instruments and recording all kinds of unusual percussive sounds using everyday items such as spoons, bottles, etc. Their so far releases include several EPs on Spanish "Disciple Of Groove" and Italian "Pizzico" records as well as some fine remixes.
