We meet Valentino Betz and Marvin Schuhmann, founders of the quintessential modern indie label Public Possession. The two fellow DJs take a hands-on approach: In addition to their idiosyncratic take on electronic music, the enterprise centred around the Public Possession record store in Munich includes also DJ residencies, homemade flyers and merchandise, the online station Radio 80000 and even a catering service – but everything they do happens on a small and friendly scale. And somehow the music reflects this too: a kind of quirky, laid-back and good-humoured take on dance and pop, from fuzzy house jams by Andras to new wave pop by Mozaika and dreamy Madonna covers by Bell Towers. Marvin and Valentino talk to Chal about the roots of the label as well as their thoughts and fears for the future, with dance music in disarray and big questions hanging over the future of their scene.
