WIEN DARF NICHT CHICAGO WERDEN or DJ Rashad and DJ Spinn do Vienna

'WIEN DARF NICHT CHICAGO WERDEN' (Vienna cannot turn into Chicago) was a popular slogan by the Austrian Freedom Party's right-wing populist leader Jörg Haider that was plastered throughout Vienna in the 90's in reference to Chicago's problems dealing with inner-city poverty as a ridiculous and inappropriately placed metaphor for the city of Vienna. Now fast-forward a few years to 2012 and it looks like Vienna is slowly becoming a recurring and popular place for Juke/Footwork music producers and DJ to come to (YES!). Juke and Footwork of course having developed straight out of Chicago. Without getting too political about it, Vienna is becoming Chicago, every now and again, for one night on a given weekend. The thought of Jörg Haider spinning in his grave at the thought of this gives me quite a rush and makes me all the more happier to look forward to some of the biggest names of this genre to come play Vienna (again) this weekend.


I don't know where and how exactly it started but Vienna is into their juke apparently. Why the hell not though. It is now the second time we get to welcome DJ Rashad and DJ Spinn after a successful party hosted by Sexy Deutsch earlier this year. This time it's being hosted by e-nix gangbang for their 8th birthday and will be in the much bigger Pratersauna this SATURDAY, 24th NOVEMBER. Happy Days.

You can RSVP to the event here. They're doing a 'guest list' to knock some euros of  the entry so make sure you click attend.

Also, according to urban dictionary, Juke is a poor imitation of UK Garage. I'll let you be the judge on that one.
