Mike Saxer and Rune Dahl Hansen have been particularly active over the last few years on the music scene in Switzerland, notably with Walter Frosch and YC-CY.

Having written and recorded so much music together (as well as separately and for other projects), it was interesting to know more about their story, how they juggle(d) the two projects and how they create music.

Whilst looking for live sessions of bands, Foucoupe, have produced a lot of quality videos set in unique locations and they have always been a pleasure to watch.

The association started off with small, intimate concerts in 2019 before moving into video production. And now in their fifth year, they will be celebrating this milestone in Monthey (from 1st until 3rd November).

In this interview, Valentin Brugnolo, tells me more about Foucoupe.

On 26th October 2024, Echolot will be celebrating their ten year anniversary as a band at Filter 4 in their hometown of Basel. To mark the occasion, they will be performing a classic album, The Blue Giant, from Snarf.

I caught up with Renato Matteucci, the band's bassist, who tells me about the band's history, their upcoming concert and their plans for the future.

In this interview, Kevin Galland, producer, bassist and synth player in Coilguns and co-owner of Studio Mécanique in La Chaux-de-Fonds, talks about his musical journey and the recipes for four albums which he has produced.

The summer holidays have arrived for Reverb Dream and to mark the occasion, I interviewed Felix, the bassist and singer of the band, Binary Sunset.

The band released their first album, les grandes vacances, in May and celebrating its release on 14th September at Konzerthaus Schüür in their hometown of Lucerne.

This album, along with their previous EPs, brings an uplifting summer mood every time.

At this year’s Kombinat Festival, I discovered Radiana Basso’s project, Dizzy Davis. A couple of months later, I had found out that she had directed music videos for some of my favourite Swiss bands and was part of the association, Spazio L’ove.

During our conversation, we talked about many subjects and themes. This interview focuses mainly the difficult beginnings to her music career, how the Dizzy Davis project took off, her involvement in the creative scene in Lugano, and, what she has planned for the future with her latest project, Concetta Spaziale

Since discovering Kalkas a few months ago, I have been intrigued by their music and how they create the soundscapes within it. Their music is more of a soundtrack than simple verse-chorus-verse songs and brings the listener into their post-apocalyptic world.

I find out more how they compose their songs, what influences them and what they have planned next with the musical universe that they are building.

Live sessions are a great way of getting a band’s music out to the public and making them more accessible - a collection of songs which the band would like to showcase in a live environment with a high quality recording.

A collection of three to four live songs allow the potential listener to get a taster of the band before possibly digging deeper into the band’s catalogue.

On 8th June 2024, the Supersonic Travel Agency released their album, Eversun, and celebrated its release with a concert at El Lokal in Zurich. The concert would however be the band’s last concert.
