VA028: Robag Wruhme – Abusus Adde ∞
Hello! Oing oing! Nuff nuff! In information like these always in it that is the record of the insanity and since longer becomes then always most announced dj´s down specified those part loves, as good judges or the record stands before the gebimmsle to have held itself because sooooo geil.
Now I would like to point out with these info. That this is a completely normal accumulation of music pieces here. I have the conventional added like bass, one drum, few hihats and in such a way taken and have then still in black white gepatscht around also somewhat scape to get purely. Reverbs I as always tidy aufgeruppt, decays in the infinite getunt and becomes green level-indicate gives it for me nich! … three pieces thus with which I very much exerted! Superior material is from it as I finds become! This is valid to flock it now with you. eMail writes me!!!! There I stand totally drauf!
Achso… like Steve Nose already meant: … B2 is always the best piece on ner record (correct!), Ricardo meant: all somewhat too hectically although A1 of lengthens “genuinly schön” would be, Richie has itself not yet announced… (think he stands not drauf) and it meant it more Svenner gespührt. And DJ Koze: I do not understand that, but you have my benediction…
Yours Robag… as: ” s Röllchen”
VA002: Robag Wruhme – Stekkrüben EP ∞
Gabor Schablitzki aka Robag Wruhme. What more can be said of this man responsible for lighting dance-floors and minds on fire for the better part of 2004. The Twisted, funky legend from Jena is back, and this time he´s delivering 3 tracks of cut up, hypnotic funk like never before. Purveyor of the goods is Berlin upstart label vakant who only a few months ago exploded onto the scene with a killer Alex Smoke EP : Simple Things..
Coming at you faster than Vodka fireball, is the Stekkrueben EP. This is Robag Wruhme´s dark winter magic. Smooth hypnotic sequences and trademark Robag edits, jerk and jostle you through micro cuts and dark dubs until you slip deep into the hidden groove.
A1 “Waffelekspander” is the prime cut: raw, meaty with a strong after taste. A nice slow building groove that shrinks and stretches the folds of time, dipping into warm sub basses and thrilling with moody reverbs and small sample cuts. Smooth and stable it¹s a track that everyone will hear in a
different way .. But wait there¹s something funny in the meat. It might just be track B1 “Stekkruebe” which comes on similar but veers into a much darker territory where silence is as precious as sound. The perfect track to transition into those early morning dancing hours B2 “Gnomon Lukks” ping
pongs its way through your brain, slowly spinning you round while it´s chunky bass line sneaks under your feet. Again the groove is hidden, but pulls it self together to deliver a strong sucker punch to the gut .. All in all, a commanding EP that demands attention, smart, confident and most of all fun.

Music is the light of their lives!
Wighnomy Brothers are Robag Wruhme and Monkey Maffia.
Greetings, friends of the savoury palate. There are more or less three different stylistic methods concerning food ingestion: 1. orderly consumption; 2. suffering through some form of diet and; 3. a balanced feast. The Wighnomy Brothers of Jena have applied the latter, not only to the taking in of nature’s fruitage, but by applying this also to their daily intake of music. Next is to deftly inform the rest of the world. Hereby they purloin not only the vinyl classics of others, but keep to the ultimate aim of keeping their own irons in the forge.
The two, tone-artists junkies Gabor Schablitzki (alias Robag Wruhme) and Soeren Bodner (alias Monkey Maffia), react to and revolve around the verbal confrontation. Both tap into you, starting stealthily as a mere bud in your soul, which eventually conquers your musical devotion. It all began with blond perms, armbands, striped stretch pants, heavy (emphasis on heavy) metal and everything that goes with that image. Actually, that is just a collection of lies told with a sigh and a smile. The two buddies’s got to know each other in 1988 while break dancing. The way it happens with some adolescents, the different music styles that passed through their eardrums started with Hip Hop, early electronica of every colour, ambient, house, techno, jazz, funk, and even alternative/independent rock. Both soon concluded that the true sound aesthetic is far away from the instruments; at full blast it is only what pours out of the grooves in the vinyl. This being the case, the established “Phonothek” absorbs, selects and then releases product. The first refuge: Gabor stood in the mid-90’s as “The Chill-Out DJ”, behind the decks on many a relaxing floor of mother earth. In the meantime he played with Herbie Hancock and stood as a virtuoso in a keyboard shop. In 1996 with Volker Kahl he started the project “Beefcake”. With his, rather experimental but simultaneously harmonious, electronica-devoted release he had notched his own international respect. Until 1997, Gabor & Soeren dashed through the Thuringian club and party scene, and are currently residents in the renowned Club Kassablanca in Jena. However only since April 97 they are known as the Wighnomy Brothers. Since the founding of the Freude am Tanzen label, business has steadily improved. Of course, not without the stumbling blocks and setbacks that happen with marketing mechanisms. However, in accord with the motto “Stehter Tropfen höhlt den Stein” (words of wisdom which mean when translated, steady drops will drill a hole in stone), the FAT vehicle with the Wighnomy Brothers steam engine stays on track. Also, for the last two years there is the added train car called Musikkrause and, the friendly collaboration with the Cologne based Kompakt stable must also be mentioned here. The always multifaceted style of the WB’s has been further developed through club experience, production, and still more flavour expansion efforts. This all brings a functional kick with the ever-present view to the thoroughly rocked dance floor. Originally, they were native to deep and traditional house together with Latin, vocal, and Nujazz flavouring. The musical spectrum lying between advanced in the direction of “raving with reason”. Therefore, stirring, intelligent, technotronic, wide ranging dance music of incalculable worth to body and soul welcomes you. Everything out of the speakers goes straight to the bones, bringing your blood to a boil whether minimal, bounce, shuffling, break, or jazzed tracks. Both gentlemen are solo artists: Robag Wruhme (also as producer) and Monkey Maffia, allowing (when the “blessed union” is on hiatus) both gentlemen the liberty to give and receive unique inspirations. This serves the Wighnomy Brothers the benefit of bringing fresh impressions to the table when collaborating. Monkey-Soeren is also the owner of the Fatplastics recordstore in Jena: quite the ideal refuge and communications platform. Wodka raus, Wighnomy frei!!! (Break out the vodka, Wighnomy is free!!!)
