| Movement interview: Wighnomy Brothers Posted: 15 May 2009 03:37 AM PDT The bottle of vodka was wiped out within two hours. It was destroyed by the Wighnomy Brothers, two gnome-like DJs with a penchant for drink, dance, and the joys of minimal house. It's the same story wherever Robag Wruhme and Sören Bodner play, but whilst their DJ booth escapades have been well captured in the past, little has been discussed about the studio technique and sound of the two revolutionaries who hail from Jena, a large university town on the river Saale. Ahead of their highly anticipated performance at Detroit's Movement festival later this month, Beatportal grabbed Robag Wruhme for a quick chat about their sound and took a look back at five essential Wighnomy Brothers tracks. |

As commanders in chief, A&R execs, CEOs, WTFs, OMGs, LOLs, and so on and so forth, of Munich-based label, Permanent Vacation, they have championed the renaissance of the disco genre and led the way, hips-shaking, hands-clapping, in the fight against the mope-around minimal movement. To say the rise of Permanent Vacation has been meteoric would not be far off the mark. It was only back in 2006 that Bioly and Frölich’s lovechild was first conceived. Yet their very first label anthology, 'Selected Label Works N°1', boasts a wealth of contemporary classics from the likes of Todd Terje, Tensnake, Sally Shapiro and Aeroplane which proves that the label has massive pulling, as well as staying, power. We caught up with the Bavarian boys to talk about, amongst other things, angels wearing Brazilian bikinis. It was cosmic… |
| Video: Dubfire’s party bus in Lithuania Posted: 14 May 2009 08:24 AM PDT US techno champion Dubfire proved he's a man of the people recently by organising a special party bus for 50 of his biggest fans in Lithuania.
