  • Hamburg club Ego has been given a new name, Villa Nova, and is now managed by H.O.S.H. and an associate. Ego was run by Diynamic boss Solomun. Situated on Talstraße in central Hamburg, the venue has undergone a number of transformations since first opening. Its most famous was Ego, which hosted to big-name house acts on a weekly basis, eventually becoming one of Hamburg's key house and techno spaces. Control of the club is now in the hands of Diynamic artist H.O.S.H. and his long-time associate Jörg Hill. The pair have been working on events together for more than ten years, with Grünanlage Festival their most notable creation. The Villa Nova space has been renovated and restructured, and the sound system tweaked. There will be no external promoters putting on events at the pair's new space—all the bookings will be made in-house. Nick Curly, Ripperton, Kollektiv Turmstrasse and H.O.S.H. himself are among the acts confirmed in the coming weeks, suggesting that Ego's house-focused music policy will be continued.
