Igor Blaska, the man behind one of the world’s most iconic nightlife venues, Lausanne’s MAD Club, makes his FLAMENCA Records debut with new single ‘Timbaleros’, out for global distribution today via FLAMENCA partner Toolroom Records.
The track, as the name suggests, is an unadulterated celebration of percussion and rhythm, “timbaleros” referring to musicians who play the shallow “timbales” drums heard throughout Latin music at the limit of ‘samba’ vibes. The cut is an uplifting, energetic slice of rhythmic production, Blasko peppering his beats with infectious trumpets and driving, flamenco-inspired melodic runs in electronic moves.
Shot on location across Wynwood and Calle Oche, the track’s official video celebrates the vibrant Latin community that forms the heartbeat of downtown Miami. It may be a world away from the colder climes of MAD Club’s Swiss setting but the heat and energy of ‘Timbaleros’ is something FLAMENCA Records boss STBAN has experienced many times on the venue’s iconic dance floor.
“MAD Club has been like a second home to me,” STBAN said, “so to have Igor bring his music into the FLAMENCA family is a real treat and something I’ve been looking forward to releasing. We’re steadily building the label into a real home for music inspired by Spanish culture and ‘Timbaleros’ absolutely falls into that category. I’ve been playing it out for a while now and the reaction from the dance floor is always huge. Big thanks to Igor for trusting us with his work.”
Igor Blaska ‘Timbaleros’ is released Feb 27th on FLAMENCA Records via Toolroom Records.
