Ogris Debris

Miezekatze, Miezekatze is the tune we couldn’t get out of our heads for quite some time. But Gregor and Daniel, commonly referred to as Ogris Debris, have developped quite some more awesome tracks since we last heard Miaaauuu. Don’t worry if you haven’t heard of them before, you sure will in the future. Why? Cause they sit on a swing. They call it “Sexy Chair”. They use it to oscillate and swing around between techno and house music.

Listen to their December 2010 Mix right here:

They were great to shoot with, since they were even willing to let us paint their faces… Check out some of the shots right here!

Japanese Popstars

We love maximal tunes, thus we fully enjoy the 3 boys who call themselves The Japanese Popstars. They are an electronic act from Derry, Northern Ireland, consisting of Declan McLaughlin aka Decky Hedrock, Gary Curran, and Gareth Donoghue and they came to Vienna and rocked the URBAN ART FORMS festival in Wiesen.

Wowser, Time Is Passing Quickly…

The last addition to Music is Vienna is great british artist Toph Taylor, the one and only part of Trouble Over Tokyo, a musical genius and Vienna resident (yes, we thought “why only portray international artists when we have so many cool ones right here, amongst us).

The interview is, as usual, in the making and I hope you will stay tuned for more. In the meantime, check out these great shots, done by Andreas.

Uffie

It’s been a crazy start of the new decade and Andreas and myself have been wildly busy with a lot of other projects that are not only cool (see Sand People) but also happen to pay our bills. About 3 weeks ago we decided that negligence was not an option for Music Is Vienna and we headed out to shoot and talk again.

This time with crazy little and cute Uffie (23 year old amrican Miami-se living in Paris, signed with Ed Banger and mother two a 8 month old daughter) who was playing at our friends club Pratersauna during their first electronic music festival called Prater Unser.

I was pretty excited to meet Uffie, as I have liked her music since I first heard “Ready to Uff” in 2005 on a dirty and sweaty dancefloor in Club 77 in Sydney.

Halle34 did a Design for us!

We were kinda struggling with a lot of things happening simultaneously and we were totally keen on making this a very pretty project. So we spoke to our friends at Halle34 about Music Is Vienna and they liked the project, so they went crazy and designed a kick ass logo for us!

THANK YOU MARCUS!

Steve Aoki

In November 2009, Steve Aoki came to Vienna, booked by Beatpatrol to play a gig at Volksgarten, one of Vienna’s musical institutions. We met him at stylish Le Meridien Hotel just before the show, waited around a bit with the guys from VICE Austria and eventually met Steve, an incredibly friendly gig-o-maniac who plays 300 shows a year
