Ganesh Geymeier, who was born in Lausanne in 1984, is among the most sought-after saxophonists of his generation. Far removed from any kind of stereotype, he coaxes powerful, earthy tones from his instrument, usually a tenor saxophone, always giving them as much time as they need to unfold. He works with electronics and has toured with many projects, including Bad Resolution with Christophe Calpini and his new trio Ganesh Geymeier Trio. His inspiration comes from as far away as South Africa and India, and he produces also beautiful photographs and videos.

MAI MAI MAI. Since his childhood, he followed his parents around Europe and the Near East, assimilating the different cultures, atmospheres and sonorities of the places he was involuntarily taken to.

Pandour. After experiences DJing, Luc Bersier and Michael Francey have pushed their sound exploration a bit further through production. They have integrated another dimension to their live performances : the Fribourg based band expands as they add two guitars to their line-up. With this addition, namely Adrien Clot and Simon Mozer, the equation is complete and Pandour was created. In April 2016, they will release their highly anticipated first EP Ursa Minor (Cheptel Records) : beats inspired by Deep House, are enriched with elements of Gnawa music, Jazz, Kraut and Afro funk for an enchanting result that will get you dancing.

With his rhythms pushing the boundaries of new music, hip-hop and a unique form of abstract electronica, Sartorius reveals the endless possibilities and range of his instruments. He often prepares his drums, works with unusual, unprocessed acoustic sounds and develops, beat by beat, an unheard environment of sound.

Camilla Sparksss. For You The Wild. The title of Camilla Sparksss’ first album says it all. A storm of instinctive, primitive electronic waves, cutting rhythms and scratching vocals. She grew up in a small town surrounded by the endless Canadian forest. All the energy of that vast wilderness, the float planes, the moose and the northern lights come together in Camilla Sparksss. With her first album she toured with John Spencer Blues Explosion across Europe, an odd but purely magical combination. Clearly defining Camilla Sparksss to be an electronic solo project with all the energy and grinding sweat that bursts from any of the best rock concert. October 12th 2018 saw the release of “Quasi Cool”, a post-summer single with cuttings hypnotic synths, Egyptian beats and a witty tribute to Vanilla Ice. It is the first single of her upcoming 2019 album Brutal.
