Next Friday (aka not tomorrow) I will be performing solo again, to try out my new set. It made a first appearance at Cabaret last Saturday. I loved it, I hope you will like it, too. Some mellow grungyness included. As for the older sets with special guests, every one of them is now on soundcloud. Enjoy and give feedback!
P.S.: The button “Buy” is a bit misleading in the soundcloud player below, it actually links to flattr.com. So go on and buy us a … no, gin and tonic, please.

This month’s show on audioasyl.net will feature yet another guest, yet another one I am especially looking forward to. Dada has a background as a graduated piano player and music producer with a special interest in experimental and melodic minimalistic dancemusic. He is working strictly with a hardware-setup, which will be a nice contrast to my digital rig. He is an important activist in the Swiss electronic Jam-Scene, organising smaller and bigger Jam- Sessions in Zurichs most important Clubs. Also an active producer, Dada has released tracks on labels such as Nice Try Records and lala Music. Do check out his soundcloud page.
As a live act, Dada always fascinates me with his sets, wandering on that driving border between the well-received and the uh-am-I-ready-for-this. Never too shy to challenge his audience, but always present and always ready to get you lost in music.
On Friday I will have yet another very special guest in my show on audioasyl.net: Pettinato, half of my favorite italian boy band Nobody Nose, will join me for some fun four to the floor bashing. Pettinato is a master of dropping the most sumptuous bassline right there where you would have wished but never expected it. Dedicated to the funky tidbits in modern electronic dance music, his sound will get you going along in no time. But actually, what I like best about him is his musical humor. Listen and be surprised!
Wohooo, what a nice surprise in my inbox: some weeks ago I participated in the open call for submissions of the In/Out Festival, and guess what, I’m in. Therefore I will be playing in the Knitting Factory in New York this November. The festival is from the 11th to the 13th, do not miss it if you are in the area. I am absolutely exhilarated to play there and meet some fellow tinkerers.
And yet another special guest. With pleasure I can now tell you that Sarna, the founder of Nice Try Records, will be joining me on Friday for a live show, jam and discobash on audioasyl.net. Sarna is not only the owner of the label, but also performing on his own as a DJ and, since recently, live performer. He will be bringing the odd drum machine, some dozens of loops and the groovy mindset that stands behind the truly distinguished release history of Nice Try Records. I really like the last release from Dollar Mambo. Techno without the need to jump into anybody’s face. I wish you all a very nice warmup into the weekend.
