indie pop rock

die in zusammenarbeit mit nikola jan gross (saxophon) und jonas albrecht (schlagzeug) komponierte ep enthält drei mitreißende, energiegeladene tracks, die den hörer auf eine reise durch jazz, post-rock, trance, minimalismus, versinkende bläserakkorde und pochende gitarrenlinien mitnehmen.

the latest release from the swiss duo larytta, entitled jura libre, is a chunky, massive, intelligent, colorful (in that full on tropical way) four-song collection of club bangers. to be exact the full set actually consists of two original songs with an in-house larytta remix a piece. the originals lean on pronounced inflections of playful, tricky, afro-tropical rhythms, while the reworks go for a more direct four-to-the-floor approach straight for the jugular. apart from the vibrant, tight production what unifies all of these tracks is a head nod towards that nineties club sound, especially that golden age acid rave material. this is music made not only by great producers, but heads that really know and love clubbing culture and history and know how to tastefully reference the past. the ep closes with bota mao pra encima which features brazilian emcee junior, and thats the point at which you start to question if this ep was truly cut in switzerland.

taking a walk on the modern side of grime street, la vie cest facile crosses over and fuses different styles with electro, instrumental hip-hop, bass music, techno and jungle into a brooding masterpiece of disjointed and distorted beats

with grace cores luminously warm debut ep, krsna, the artist has offer up a hi-energy provocative style blended with possessed chanting, modern pop, post-rave and hypnotic trance. these elements have come together to occupy a remarkably weird place all its own. taking cues and hint from pop-inspired releases, krsna slowly progresses from atmospheric and dreamy uplifting melodies to increased tempos with powerful, lilting synths and addictive, pounding and relentless drum kicks. it showcases a deconstructed panoramic set of tracks that shimmer with confidence and wonder created by the unique inner logic of grace cores sound world. finally entering brainspaces this fall, the result is a records that sounds both focused and coherent, flowing with a conceptual ease that leaves the listener completely fulfilled and open-jawed.

jura, the sophomore full-length from the swiss duo larytta, is a galvanizing synthesis of essential grooves and effervescent melodies. it took years to finish the record!

it’s not easy to create something that sounds epic and yet doesn’t veer off into cliche-riddled pathos, which is why the latest release from gaspard de la montagne hits so hard. it’s perfect.

closely following his highly acclaimed debut pôle ep released in fall 2013, gaspard de la montagne returns this spring with a second ep. this new stallion ep features two curiously optimistic-yet-hesitant sculptures of techno hybrids that wade near the deep end are driven by well-endowed low-end and contemplative melodies. from a genuinely open-minded generation with incredibly eclectic taste, gaspard de la montagne brings you the best of it all as a mess of inspiring further cross-pollination. a must-have!

with the stride 12 inch, isolated lines lays down another thick slab of contemporary and modern dance music. swiss producer plays with the rhythmic dynamics of techno, striking a balance between avant-garde and accessible.

oy aka joy frempong, the half ghanaian and half swiss multi versed vocalist is definitely one of a rare breed - at home in the left-of-center sound but gifted with a penchant for writing sticky unforgettable melodies.
