ABOUT US
THE TEAM
The people behind Discosville are also part of the Wowsville Bar and Record Store team.The record shop first opened its doors in New York in December 1999. In 2006 it moved to Berlin and in 2010 it was transformed into a bar with a record shop inside.
For the last twenty years we have been catering to vinyl and rock'n'roll lovers from all over the world, and now we are going all out with this new project that is Discosville to bring quality records and to provide for all kinds of customers, especially independent labels and artists.
Today we get to introduce you to one of those rad, down to earth women that does it all and makes it seem effortless. From running a lathe cut business, to working in record stores, managing and working with indie labels, DJing and playing drums in a band. Meet Oihane Follones, born in Basque Country, Spain who moved to London when she was eighteen to work at a record store, and is now located in Berlin to run the record store Wowsville. She is co-owner of the lacquers mastering and cutting studio Lathesville , while handling the European distribution and mail order of Slovenly Recordings. Oihane has been working with vinyl for sixteen years, and we are happy to have her as part of the Women in Vinyl community.
In what spare time she has, she plays drums in the punk band The Inserts, DJ’s garage punk nights and festivals, and runs an awesome blog about female musicians calledI Am In The Band : Tales of Rock’n’Roll Women“.
“From time to time I also do shows, I am part of a great team of queer people that organize a party called Queergala. In the past I used to do more shows, and I did a hardcore punk festival called Nothing Nice To Say for three years, but right now I don’t have much time for that”.
