Vinny Villbass is one of the long time driving forces behind the Norwegian club scene. In addition to an extensive list of clubnights and house parties on his conscience, he is one third of the crew behind the renown Oslo club night Sunkissed and initiator of the Norwegian web-portal OsloClubCast, building ties between the clubs, dj´s, and producers of Oslo. He is also one of two curators behind the much hyped contemporary stage project Pantha Du Prince & The Bell Laboratory. As dj, Vinny Villbass is known for his exceptional groove and timing as a result of 15 years behind the decks, mostly in Scandinavia, but also as a resident of German club capitol Berlin. His Berlin years include I'm Single-label collaboration with the legendary Khan in addition to residencies at ArenaKlub, Kleine Reise and Picknick. His musical experience also reaches far beyond his 15 years as house dj and vinyl junkie. As guitar and synth player in DiskJokkeBand and a master of acoustics, Vinny Villbass´ production skills challenges the edge of tomorrow, although defined by traditions of house music. With previous releases on Afro Art, Kindisch, Troll and Rebirth, he currently releases on Eskimo Recordings.
