Vinny Villbass will release his sublime new album ‘Windows’ this September, with the eight tracks released as a series of singles in the preceding weeks. This is the third piece of the album puzzle.
'Frau Hoffmanns Zimmer' is an increasingly unhinged cosmic trip with pulsing synths and full-blooded house drums, a foundation for squelchy lines, swirling pads and bristling live percussion.
'Orient Espresso' features Vinny's brother Anders on flute and is a warm and inviting world of dynamic synth work, clever effects and dance floor fun.

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?."
