Vinny Villbass - Ski Station [Badabing Diskos] by Gouranga

Vinny Villbass hails from Oslo and is a sonic guru and master musician with decades of experience in the house scene.

He's a vinyl junkie, guitar, and synth player who, next to solo work on his own label Badabing Diskos, has released on Eskimo, Beatservice and Trunkfunk, in addition to curating Pantha Du Prince's 'The Bell Laboratory' project. He is one of the most pivotal figures in his native scene of Oslo, having previously lived - and made his mark - in Berlin and New York.

Vinny doesn't rely on sequencers, so every bit of this new album is played by hand on synths, guitars, drum pads, samplers or percussion. In this case, we see a playful mix of different genres under the broad house umbrella, making this a record for dancing and driving, deep thinking and dreaming. He says of its title, "Windows give us glimpses of future possibilities, framed by memory and imagination. Through the perpetual windows of technology we also see the parallel world of digital content. My music represents the views from my own windows. What do you see through yours?."

'Ski Station' opens up with jangling guitar riffs and pumping nu-disco beats full of life and charm before tender chord work enriches the airwaves.

This exceptional album will be followed by an instrumental live show that reanimates the entire record in full this Autumn, while badabing is also to host a mini festival in Lisbon in September. ‘Windows’, meanwhile, is the latest essential chapter in Vinny's captivating house story.

‘Windows’ arrives in full on September 29th, with singles arriving weekly from the 25th of August to the 15th of September.
