Ssg special - Vril


This week we are very happy to welcome a new face to mnml ssgs, Vril. While he only has a few releases to his name, Vril has definitely be turning some heads, including ours. We came across Vril with his first EP on the Staub imprint on Giegling, one of our favourite labels. We weren't the only ones to notice this record: Marcel Dettmann licenced "V3" for his recent mix CD, while Marcel Fengler asked Vril to contribute an exclusive track for his Berghain mix CD, which was also featured on the sampler EP along with Peter Van Hoesen and Reagenz. And based on the livepa he has put together for mnml ssgs, we think he'll be getting lots more attention in the future...

In this live session Vril has constructed sixty minutes of carefully building techno. Even if he is a relatively new artist, it is clear he already has a lot of strong material and has a tight liveset. There is real life and vitality to his music, it kicks! It kind of reminds us of the early Kompakt Speicher releases. It is, quite simply, some rather rocking techno.

Ssg special - Vril



Vril's first release "V1-V4" is not even on discogs anymore, but the good news is that there will be a repress at some point this year, so keep an eye out for that. You can also expect Vril's third EP, "V8-V10", which is on its way. For any booking requests, please write to: ulli@giegling.net. Big thanks to Vril for making this recording for us, and to Marcel and the Giegling boys for helping to organise it. Enjoy.
