Vienna: HVOB & Friends

For our third trip to Vienna we teamed up with Pratersauna, a former swinger club, Mafia hangout and one of Europe’s finest clubs.

We’re particularly excited to bring you a very special performance by Viennese shooting stars HVOB - they just released a behemoth of an album called Trialog that amalgamates installations, visuals and sound into a interdisciplinary Gesamtkunstwerk, created and live visualized by the collaborating VJs lichterloh.tv. The Album is released via the Berlin Stil vor Talent label.

A city like Vienna can’t come without its own share of musical heroes - in this case no other than Kruder & Dorfmeister’s Peter Kruder. Calling the K&D Sessions a seminal album wouldn’t do the legendary K7 release justice - its one of those albums that sits in everone’s record shelf next to Roni Size’s New Forms, Aphex Twin’s Richard D. James or Plastikman’s Musik and aged incredibly well.

Wolfram on the other hand is something like Vienna’s best kept secret. Also known as Diskokaine and releases on DFA or Permanent Vacation under his belt, he’s not only praised by Moby and Andy Butler as one of the coolest people alive, but also had a Haddaway feature on his debut album. Consider his set for us another step on his way to the Disco throne.

Pratersauna resident 7Citizens has left his mark on the scene already with a broad selection of releases on Praterei, the legendary sauna based clubnight and recordlabel, but also on MCDE, Snuff Trax, LACK and many more and will show us what the legendary Pratersauna sound is like - we expect a mixture between Austrian rationality, the glam of Falco and sweat dripping down the walls.

Florian Scheibein is one of the minds behind Leap Records - a label for beautifully crafted electronic music somewhere between house for a hazy summer morning and timid dub techno reflections. With five solid and well-received releases so far they are definitely a label to watch.
