Here is a bit more about the artists:

WIGHNOMY BROTHERS:

After headlining the MUTEK festival last year, there was much talk about bringing them over to the US, but no one could seem to make it happen. Founders of the acclaimed label Freude am Tanzen and Musik Krause labels distributed by Kompakt, Robag Wruhme and Monkey Mafia are finally coming to the US with Visas in hand. The two have been freinds since 1989, suposedly meeting in a breakdance circle, but have been Wighnomy Brothers since 1997. Wruhme and Maffia cut their DJ skills at the Thüringer Club, and they are currently residents at Club Kassablanca, both in Jena, where they reside. The Wighnomy Brothers’ music is self-described as “raving with reason”: sometimes cheerful and sometimes dark, together or solo the pair make minimal techno that punts straight for the dancefloor. The eclectic pair have definately made a name for themselves as amazing DJs playing extended sets, while showing the crowd jsut how much fun they are having behind the decks. As owners of a record store as well, these guys really have the full spectrum covered, as they are truely in it for the music.

INNERVISIONS LIVE:

Few people in dance music remind you why you got into the business in the first place. Any interaction with the Innervisions crew will do just that, remind you about that love of music. Innervisions live is made of up both members of AME (Frank and Kristian), Dixon, and Henrik Schwartz. The live show is a combination of Henrick on the computer and keyboards, dixon playing loops over the CDJ's, and a meadly of keyboards and Ableton mastery from the AME boys, all going at once. This is a true four piece deep house music "band" that is not to be missed, if you are even lucky enough to experiance it in your city. Playing only select dates around Europe after headlining the Amsterdam Dance Event last season, Innervisions Live: A Critical Mass will be making two select stops in NY and Detroit for the DEMF. The 3 acts alone have been some of the most indemand DJ's and Live performers, but to have all 3 on one stage is nothing short of magic.

Once a year there comes a time to celebrate getting older, and what better way than to throw a party to set the standard for the rest of the year. As BLK|Market and Uddermadness celebrate their 3rd birthdays together, they bring two of the biggest acts in dance music to the same show. No one is as important to us than our loyal clubgoers who have supported us over the years, so this is our way of saying thank you, you're the best!

Wighnomy Bros and Innervisions Live

The minimal-forward folks at BLK | Market Membership and Uddermadness throw themselves an anniversary party to end all anniversary parties tonight. A massive, precision-amped warehouse and full bar are promised, but we'd be front and center for the headliners if it was going down in a dumpster (a dumpster!). The Wighnomy Broshave as much sonic savvy as Berlin and Cologne's big boys, but heaps more heart — check their Metawuffmischfelge for a teaser, but know their live sets are a few degrees more bananas. Techno goes the way of the supergroup with Innervisions Live, a keys-'n-stuff quartet comprised of Henrik Schwarz, Âme, and Dixon. You might even be ruined for Movement '09 after tonight.

Timeout NY article with Innervisions:

Innervisions Live: A Critical Mass makes its U.S. debut. By Bruce Tantum

Supergroups—good thing or bad? When all of the outsized egos are on the same page and working toward the same goal (Cream or Traveling Wilbury’s come to mind), the results can be wondrous. With other such combos (anybody remember Damn Yankees?), you end up with dreck. Luckily, Innervisions Live: A Critical Mass, while perhaps not as identifiably super as Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, fits squarely in the former category. Consisting of a quartet of Berlin label Innervisions’ heavy hitters—Steffen “Dixon” Berkhahn, Henrik Schwartz, and Kristian Beyer and Frank Wiedemann of Âme—the electronic-dance-music megacombo will be making its U.S. debut when it plays at Blkmarket Membership and Uddermadness’ combined third-birthday party on Friday 22. (Coincidently, the coheadlining Wighnomy Brothers are also playing their premiere American gig.)

The four friends first worked together on the 2006 club smash “Where We At,” but it wasn’t until they were compiling the recently released mix-CD The Grandfather Paradox that the idea for the live project was born. “We only had two days to play around with certain ideas for that comp,” Dixon recalls. “So we basically connected three laptops—instead of the usual studio setup of one computer, and then certain people or instruments around that heart of the studio—and found out that this had a much better work flow. We were jamming with our three different machines, and we realized, Why not bring this to the stage?” The group made their debut at last fall’s Amsterdam Dance Event. “That gig was the best party I had in years,” Dixon claims. He would say that—but the various YouTube postings of that gig tend to bear him out.

“I love the ‘band’ angle of this thing,” Uddermadness’ Larry Ursini (better known in techno circles as Crazy Larry) says. “There’s a real live aspect—they do a different show each time—that you don’t often get with this kind of music.” He’s right: Most “live” electronic acts tend to sound pretty much the same as they do on record, give or take a fancy swoosh here and there. But, according to Dixon, Innervisions Live does aim for improvisation, at least up to a point. “We’re playing variations of [preexisting] tracks from Henrik, Âme and/or me,” he admits. “And we’ll play one song where we have everything totally planned, but then every other track is free-flow. Even the planned ones are specially reworked on the stage. Some of the tracks are reworked so heavy that people will not recognize them anymore.”

No matter—whatever these four touch turns to aural gold of the deep-tech variety. “But I would not reduce our stuff to ‘deep,’?” Dixon amends. “We try to explore the whole spectrum of house, just like it was in the early days when Lil’ Louis, for instance, produced a cheesy vocal song one week, and the next week a strong acid track. Nowadays people tend to focus too much on one single subgenre and repeat themselves over and over again, but if you follow what we do on Innervisions, you might see that we constantly try to surprise people.”

We stand corrected. But,whatever Innervisions’ sound, Uddermadness’ Ursini is one happy fella. “This party’s production side is gonna be immense,” he exclaims. “We’re having a custom sound system trucked in, we’ll have these massive LED panels for video, all kinds of lights.… We just figured, We have the talent—so why not do it all the way?”

Innervisions Live: A Critical Mass plays Fri 22.

WIGHNOMY BROS. AND INNERVISIONS MAKE THEIR US DEBUT
(New York City, USA) - BLK|Market & Uddermadness are celebrating their three-year anniversary by bringing two full live acts that have never performed in the US before, and they chose an excellent time to do so. The German groups Wighnomy Brothers aka Robag Wruhme & Money Maffia and the complete four piece Innervisions live band including Henrik Schwarz, Ame, and Dixon!
The collective will be performing at an undisclosed location. No surprise there, that's the way they like to run their parties. They are calling the event A Critical Mass (sounds familiar eh?) and making this a nice pre-party for New Yorkers who will be on their way to Detroit's DEMF shortly after. Save the date; May 22nd from 10PM to 10AM in a 5,000 Square foot warehouse setting with a custom sound system, full bar and special giveaways for all paid entrants. Other talent for the night includes Crazy Larry, and Taimur+Fahad.
To find out the secret location for the event, you must RSVP to the following email: wighnomyinner@gmail.com

Wighnomy Brothers and Innervisions Live: A Critical Mass

This party is going to be insane. The Wighnomy Brothers are a couple of rotund, bearded German guys who make big, big dance music and drink a lot to calm their nerves before they play. Their pre-gig habits have earned them a reputation as one of the more exciting DJ acts to be around. Apparently they jump around a lot. Also on the bill tonight is A Critical Mass, a supergroup of producers from the Innervisions label--Ame, Henrik Schwarz and Dixon--playing keyboards and computers and manipulating playback equipment. The label is responsible for some of the best dance music to come out over the past few years, and when Henrik and Ame played our party back in March, they lived up to everything we expected. Don't miss this.
