KOM EX132EP
|
Robag Wruhme isn't just a producer; he's a sonic storyteller. His tracks are known for their emotional depth and technical brilliance -- the perfect blend of minimal techno, deep house, and ambient music -- each track a meticulously crafted journey through sound. With influences ranging from classical to jazz to world music, Robag's music is as diverse as it is enchanting. His latest offering on the trailblazing Speicher series is no exception. True to his unmistakable style, "Naila" meanders between heartwarming positivity and menacing darkness induced by one of those bass lines only Robag can deliver. In short: He nailed it! On the flip side, he joins forces with the ominous Bruno Pronsato -- an elusive character that has a string of cult releases on Perlon, Musique Risquée and Foom under his belt. "CDV" was initially released on his album Live At Club Der Visionäre on Logistic Records. Robag's slick re-rub is pushing things decisively in an afterhour-ish direction. Mental music for mental times!

"Hey! After receiving so many requests as to whether the Tulpa Ovi releases could also be released on vinyl, we decided to just put almost everything out on record. There will also be an exclusive song called "Loss Breda" featuring Lysann Zander, and a damn brilliant edit of "Kapox Grapén" by Jimi Jules." --Robag Wruhme

There's no 123 without 4 in Kompakt's beloved Speicher series. Robag Wruhme is back with two intense, low-slung monster tunes in his unique masterful fashion. "Glut" is destined to set your peak time dancefloor on fire with its killer bassline and trippy sequences. "Un-spok-en" is equally relentless and unfathomable, garnished with a haunting vocal snippet.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered together to celebrate the long-awaited matrimony of the DJ and dancer. For many of us, the summer of 2021 appears to be the occasion we have waited for more than a year. And who other than Robag Wruhme to commemorate the soundtrack to this once in a lifetime experience. He makes a return to Kompakt Extra's seemingly endless series Speicher. But is it a follow up to his Speicher 115 of last year? That is a firm "No" though is preceded by a "Yes" so perhaps it should just be left as a big maybe? It really has no matter in the end when the music is just perfect for this moment. Before you get overwhelmed with emotion, flip that record over and escape to the "Frontex Frappant". Robag Wruhme provides his signature peak time dexterity, making a solid strike to protect the border between unity and redemption.

KOM EX115EP

After 2019's lauded three-track EP Topinambur (KOM 409EP) Kompakt announce Robag Wruhme's return to Speicher. On the A-side, Robag delivers a deep hypnotic chugger that goes by the simple but ultimately affirmative name "Yes". In all its simplicity, it's one of those tracks that gently tosses you down the famous rabbit hole. The flip side "Calma Calma" is pure summer festival bliss, resurrecting the spine-tingling a cappella from C'Hantal's proto techno classic "The Realm" for the 2020's. Both tracks are 100% Robag... highly emotive, über sexy, and yet somehow hazardous.

KOM 409EP

In future times, culture historians will refer to Gabor Schablitzki, aka Robag Wruhme, as a creator of a singular techno sound, a rock in the murky sea of arbitrary musical dullness that befell mankind in the early 21st century. Furthermore, a lesser known quality of Schablitzki will be praised and explored: he was a relentless wordsmith, a deeply passionate inventor of elegant idioms that enriched German language. Take "Freggelswuff" or "Wemmel" as shining examples. It's within this context that a certain cultural artefact released on a Cologne-based record label called Kompakt (which towards the end of the 21st century made a hardly publicized turn to manufacturing CO2-neutral wall plug systems) that went by the sonorous title Topinambur has to be mentioned. Legend has it that Schablitzki claimed to have created the word "Topinambur", unknowingly that local farmers have been marketing a root tuber under the same name since it got imported from America in 1610AD. The following tenacious copyright lawsuit between Schablitzki and a large agricultural consortium lasted for many years. It isn't considered as a highpoint in Schablitzki's turbulent life but it still serves a staircase wit that is passed on from generation to generation amongst Black Forest moonshiners.

PAMPA 035EP
|
Robag Wruhme, working on the material. On the very same piece. And performing two different movements. First, thinking in category "Album": who will hear it where? also: mood, position, length. Second, thinking in category "Maxi-single": a spinning-tool for the club -- another form of another functionality: accelerating the rhythm, lowering the harmonicmelodious, still preserving the nature of the song. "Nata Alma", a voice loses itself in the infinite, a car brakes, a horse whinnies, the sun scorches relentless. Flip it and keep on moving: "Venq Tolep". A summer meadow, grass-stains, a gentle breeze, an early smell of hay.

PAMPA 014LP
|
Double LP version includes 7" with two bonus tracks, postcard, and download. Robag Wruhme takes synthetic sounds and sampled noises, cuts them to fit, and turns them into beats without his music ever sounding pieced-together; every single percussive sound is a compact unit, bursting with melody. For Venq Tolep, his first album-length release on Pampa Records in eight years, Wruhme chooses to dig deeper, expanding the space of these elements. He finds beats inside the beats, opens them up further, discovers hooklines, harmonies and feels where he can dispense with rhythm entirely. From his first releases on Freude am Tanzen one could hear it, a light-footed sense of rhythm. Venq Tolep opens with two melodic, melancholic pieces: "Advent" sets one to dancing, while "Westfal" has the listener lying in the grass amid the buzzing heat and rustling wind, hearing the voice of Lysann Zander, with whom Wruhme has worked previously on projects including his album Thora Vukk (PAMPA 002CD, 2011). Hers is not the only familiar name on this album -- Sidsel Endresen and Bugge Wesseltoft have both appeared on releases from Wruhme's bootleg label. Here, they are featured on "Nata Alma," a laid-back club track. "Iklahx" and "Ak-Do 5" both possess a carefree percussiveness, while "Komalh" and "Ago Lades" prove that when Wruhme talks about techno, he means club music more akin to the elegance of London two-step, fueled by R&B/hip-hop and swingbeat, and far removed from the Belgian-Teutonic bunker sound. "Bézique Atout" is a reinterpretation of "Domino," a track from French producer Oxia which Wruhme remixed in 2017, stylishly making it his own. Two more familiar tracks are "Volta Copy," a version of his 2015 hit "Volta Cobby," minus the beat, but now propelled by arpeggios, and "Ende #2," like greetings received from around the world in a day, picks up where "Ende" from Thora Vukk leaves off. Title track "Venq Tolep" draws on all the album's various movements in four minutes and 18 seconds: the light, pensive mood, the subtle, driving rhythm, the ambient-sounding layers of synthesized strings and the percussive electric piano melody lines. Venq Tolep has a well-rounded sound, like an arch unfolding in space; that, of course, is the universe of Robag Wruhme. With Venq Tolep, Wruhme creates something extraordinary -- the album may speak the language of club music, but the music verges on feeling like songs. Is it techno pop? Pop techno? Pop ambient? Ambient pop?

HART 004LP

Robag Wruhme on external assessment vs. self-conception by: "People always think, I'm that serene and quiet guy, but actually I'm quite a noisemaker." Could be that the majority of the material he put out in recent years, most notably Thora Vukk (PAMPA 002CD/S-LP, 2011), led to the overall impression of Robag being the virtuoso of everything subtle, enigmatic and tenderly melodic. That's far from being a misconception, but it's still just one side of the coin. The other side is embossed with his most current productions, consolidated here on Wuzzelbud FF, a nominal nod to his debut album, Wuzzelbud KK (MKR 001CD/LP, 2005). As there's no such scenario Robag might be running out of stream-of-consciousness turned nonsense titles for his music, this must be a vocabulary intersection linking this music with the early days of his career. Wruhme presents Wuzzelbud FF as the stylistic follow-up to that debut album, showcasing a sound he avers has been neglected for too long. "I wanted to put out some straightforward music for the dancefloor, something for the primetime. Well, for the primetime of my sets, at least." That agenda is written all over most of the present material. "Veddel Bav" the pace early on; don't fall for Wruhme's signature artistry of evoking groove out of micro-sampling while this track is building up, as it'll be bulldozed by a bass-heavy kick and off-beat hi-hat-lashes soon enough. The title track opens the B-side, combining field-recorded patterns, courageous delay-implementation, and a take-no-prisoners mentality when it comes to prepping the ears for its peak, a simple yet effective bassline, a buzzing and twanging percussive overload bind to make what's known as a banger. "Tisma" is a spaced-out jam before "Provol Eto", the cowbell-decorated, synthbass-fueled epitome of heaviness in this set of tunes, that is among the most functional and relentless material Wruhme has ever written. No pause is granted, as "Maiowu" speeds up to utter D'n'B frenzy, a recourse to his mid-1990s rule of denying, almost anarchic approach to production. The final re-introduction of a straight kick opens "Wabb Bodun", another no-frills, engine-room-located stomper, inspirited and strengthened by rhythmic shifts and crisp tweaking alone. An in-the-red powerhouse that calls for an alleviation like the ambient farewell kiss "Ausgang" closes the record, capping an assembly of textures that sets a peaceful conclusion to an energetic and mostly high-revving journey.

PAMPA 023EP

2024 repress. Robag Wruhme returns to Pampa following the whirlwind of acclaim for his 2011 album Thora Vukk (PAMPA 002CD/S-LP). The wait was worth it; Cybekks EP finds Wruhme in stunning form yet again. "Cybekks" leads off with a weighty tread, thundering downward with heavy, robotic drums as cloud-like chords of suspenseful pads appear and disappear on the horizon. "Anton" returns to melancholic brilliance, with a lilting piano loop and subtle digital trickery that blurs the edges of each note. "Volta Cobby" reinvigorates the classic collision of tech, house, and stripped-back body music. "Anton II" draws on electronica with a pastoral feel.

Pampa presents a stunning mix CD from the mighty German electronic artist/DJ/producer, Robag Wruhme, dedicated to the 15th edition of the annual "Nachtdigital" festival in Saxonia, Germany. This is a physical artifact that represents Nachtdigital, an experience that can be now be enjoyed at any time of the year. And although the festival's line-ups always reflect the breadth of styles within electronic music, there was one singular figure that really stood out: Robag Wruhme. Titled after Bungalowdorf Olganitz, the grounds on which Nachtdigital takes place, Robag's Olgamikks excursion combines technical precision with a handmade quality, with clinks, chimes, fuzz and vocal snippets glued together by a warm, grooving pulse. Just as with his previous DJ mix efforts, Robag un-archived specific sound files from his original remix sessions from the past several years, twisting and rearranging them to flow together perfectly for your listening pleasure. The end result of his work is a shimmering, seamlessly mixed hour collecting numerous re-workings of a diverse range of artists, all tracks adorned with Robag's trademark pseudo-Scandinavian subtitles. Olgamikks is a proud moment that continues a long-running friendship, with Robag having played at Nachtdigital nearly every summer since 2003, his mixing and production style the perfect audio encapsulation of the festival's vision. Artists include: Modeselektor (feat. Thom Yorke), Audision, Fenin, MRI, Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Monster, Romboy vs. Bodzin, Gui Boratto, Extrawelt, DNTEL, Claude Von Stroke (feat. Bootsy Collins).

With explorations into the wide spectrum of the techno-scape, Robag Wruhme offers a celebratory dinner for the peristalsis between the head and stomach. The stomach is kind of like a kettledrum -- a hollow container placed under stress. If this container is filled with air, the walls of the stomach vibrate and in this space, a grumbling sound issues. Here is where the beat chef puts an end to the grumbling sound. The meal he serves up will stick to your ribs.

PAMPA 002S-LP

New vinyl version of Robag Wruhme's Thora Vukk (replaces the now deleted PAMPA 002LP & no longer comes with the bonus 7" or MP3 codes). In contrast to Robag Wruhme's first album Wuzzelbud KK (MKR 001CD/LP), Thora Vukk is "more grounded and filled with melodies and self-recorded samples -- ideal for the bedroom or passenger cabins of any kind." Schablitzki created a huge library of sounds, like slamming drawers or mid-summer rain recorded in his friends' spacious kitchen. Those field recordings are no secondary accessories. By setting them into a rhythmic shape, they dominate the structure of the tracks. Due to the constant variation, the fan of the grooves opens up every time in a new manner. This is thoughtful, contemplative minimalism in its most organically-structured form.

Robag Wruhme returns to Kompakt with his focus firmly on the dancefloor. With its dramatically beautiful ethereal hookline, the title-track is a perfect follow-up to Robag's previous outings on Kompakt Extra. One for those magical morning hours. "Wemmel" is another fine example of his stunning craftsmanship, floating freely between advanced deep house and 2-step, dubstep, tech-step and whatever step you want. "Polch Dutto" boils things down nicely towards the end with some lush, soundtrack-like ambience.

The original "The White Flash" from Modeselektor -- featuring Thom Yorke -- gets a rework from Robag Wruhme, appearing together with a piece not to be found anywhere else which originally saw the light of day on the Pudel Produkte set -- a conversation between Helge Schneider and Rocko Schamoni, which is moderated joyfully and jazzily by Wruhme. Adding to that, Schamoni also brings a sly chattiness and joie de vivre to exclusive fruition on this dazzling 12".

Kompakt presents a mix CD by German electronic artist, Robag Wruhme (Gabor Schablizki, Themroc, Wighnomy Brothers, Machiste, Rolf Oksen, Die Dub Rolle, etc.). His discography is as stunning as the list of his DJ appearances. There's not a soul with the slightest interest in electronic music who has never danced to a track by this extraordinarily gifted producer. He's one of the few that has truly created his own signature sound -- a Robag track is a Robag track is a Robag track. Likewise, as a DJ he hardly manages to hide his genius. The swinging sexiness of his own productions serves as a framework for his otherwise rather eclectic universe in which Thom Yorke and Germany's most cranky comedian Helge Schneider talk the same language, where jazz buddies up with thumping techno. Robag's trademark is his excessive use of reverb effects; like black holes, they suck in and spit out the most varied influences. Wuppdeckmischmampflow is Robag Wruhme's latest mix CD and could be considered an immaculate conception. Crafted in the comforting seclusion of the Spreewald, a vast forest area south of Berlin, far away from the hectic turmoil of clubs and airports, he began toying around with his favorite tracks and songs. It turned out to be a very intimate, wonderful music project that Robag needed to share, spanning a decade of electronic music history. Wuppdeckmischmampflow is an honest, touching, life-enhancing affair. The perfect co-pilot, roommate, old sport, Dear Abby and pocket hand-warmer. He gingerly interweaves music by Moderat, Four Tet, Ricardo Villalobos, Whomadewho, Danny Norbury, Trentemøller and Tiefschwarz, and many more, including an unreleased track by Wruhme himself. Additional note: "Robag Smapelschatull" refers to pieces on which two tracks are mixed and include elements reworked by Robag Wruhme. Other artists include: Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts, Seth Troxler, Audion, Château Flight, Claro Intelecto, MRI, DJ Koze, Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Voom Voom, Henrik Schwarz, Ian Simmonds, Krause Duo, and Zwanie Jonson.

Robag Wruhme returns toting three nuggets which are somewhere between gentle hardcore with a weakness for horns, and a warm coolness. Dark, complex and almost avant garde. For all intents and purposes, a Lindenberg with Kafka-esque posing on a steamer, turned in the direction of the Ziller Valley. All three have a frugal consumption of a mere 4 liters per 100km, and there is still a healthy acceleration here that is lively and quick.

This is the second solo release on the Musik Krause label for German electronic artist, Robag Wruhme (Gabor Schablizki, Beefcake, Wighnomy Brothers). For Robag, spring cleaning revealed some critical gems on his desk and in his computer and skull. If that which essentially was on its way to rot, now sounds as if in fact there is purpose, he figured it was about time to release the fruits of labors past and future in the form of a CD EP. This release has also been enriched with a pair of fitting tracks which appeared on some previously-released vinyl records. The Lost Archive is a small collection of 9 greats, manifested from Robag's own script and recollections without the genre being evangelized.

The 19th release from Musik Krause is the Wruhme-esque attack against slushy snow, drizzle, winter depression and glazed frost. "Papp-tonikk"'s loudness detonates with a salacious feeling. The very essence of techno. "Pontifekks" is IDM frivolity with mini-electronica-break massacre noises that sweep through bacchanal dream sequences. "Ikke's Schlonze" finds a little jazz strewn along the shoulder on the main techno thoroughfare. "Hamburg 03.07.06" is ambient and caressing. All that remains is the open road and an old V-dub from Oldenburg to Holzminden.
