We can’t believe it but, yes, [KONTROL] is celebrating its 4th anniversary this Saturday (June 6, 2009)! And to celebrate this milestone, [KONTROL] and The Endup is bringing you from Jena, Germany, Wighnomy Brothers (Freude am Tanzen | Musik Krause).
Robag Wruhme and Monkey Maffia, known collectively as The Wighnomy Brothers, are best friends, label owners, production partners, and one of planet Earth’s most entertaining and sought-after DJ teams. Known for their remix-heavy, vodka-soaked extended sets, the delightful duo from Jena, Germany have traveled the globe far and wide rocking parties and festivals, but thanks to their distaste for a certain ex-President of ours, they have refused to play the US. Until now. We simply adore these guys and without question, they have held a slot near the top of our “most wanted” list since we first sought out on this colorful voyage. Thus, it is with great pride and pleasure that [KONTROL] celebrates four years of bringing forward-thinking techno and house to San Francisco with a four hour set by the inimitable, incomparable, and absolutely unmissable Wighnomy Brothers in their exclusive West Coast debut.
Ever since Eddie Elias played his first professional gig in 2000, the New Jersey-based, Dominican-born DJ has been wowing audiences in NYC and around the country with unique sound and masterful mixing. Deep, progressive grooves are the foundation upon which Eddie builds his sets; where he goes from there depends on the crowd and his instinct.
Eddie is resident at NYC’s Alegria at Crobar as well as at the Roxy.
We are so excited to have Eddie here at The Endup’s Ghettodisco for the first time. Please join us tomorrow (June 5, 2009) for an extended afterhours set by Eddie along with our own DJ Hawthorne and Adrian.

In URB 15th Annual Next 100 Issue, our beloved Phonic resident, J.Phlip, was featured. “It’s unexplicable,” it said, “but it seems only one girl per year gets inducted into the upper clique of techno and house DJs. But if we’re only allowed one, then [J.Phlip] is the perfect selection to take this year’s place in the boys’ club. Her ‘Rumble Rumble’ cut has been shaking bassbins worldwide, since her signing with Claude Von Stroke’s Dirtybird lable. Get to San Fran now to catch this Chicago native at her Endup residency, before she ghosts off to Europe like so many of her peers.”
We are just so excited for J.Phlip . . . and we are sure that when she darts off to Europe, The Endup will always be her home.
