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.
Tomorrow I will have a special guest on my show. We will do some live playing and jamming. Slumberjack from the crates has just recently opened his musical heart towards live performance (a development I am very fond of, especially considering that his DJ skills are already tantalizing). He has recently released a gorgeous podcast on input selector and is releasing music under his own label. His latest development is pitapat, a live duo together with fellow artist Emil Teiger. Tune in tomorrow at audioasyl.net and enjoy our chaotic orchestration / orchestrated chaos.
Great night out at Grundton Live! in Hive club the weekend before the big parade. Really crowded, really nice audience, lot’s of fun behind the decks. Here is my liveset from that night, enjoy.
UPDATE: There is now also a video, shot by modul8tor, a Zurich based Ableton-aficionado. He also wrote some thoughts about my performance into the video description, very interesting.
Finally, after some Ableton-related difficulties, my liveset from the BASEline party two weeks ago is online over at soundcloud.com. Enjoy and share! There is also a nice video to go with it. I enjoyed Basel very much. Awesome location and really nice people over there. Looking forward to come back soon!
My liveset from the last inteam.sunday is online. Go to soundcloud to download or listen here:
As you might have noticed, the page of my show on audioasyl.net has been hacked by somebody called Alabdli. She put a picture of herself on the page. I enjoy it very much, but I would rather have my old page back (should be back soon) (it is back already). Any of you know what the Arabic actually means? The internet is a dangerous place.
