On the ROOF with DEETRON
www.roof.fm
Born and bred in Berne, Sam Geiser aka Deetron still lives in the Swiss city. After all, this is home. It was in Berne that Deetron cut his teeth as a teenage hip-hop DJ while Berne’s Phont label (formerly run by Stefan “Morris Audio” Riesen) released his first 12inch as Soul Mate. Then again, Deetron’s [...]
Dollar Mambo – Seven Dollar EP – NTRY002
www.nicetryrecords.ch
Dollar Mambo is a fantast. His name is borrowed from Paul Leduc’s same-named film: a movie shot in Panama, that goes without any dialogues and fully relies on the impact of music to tell the story. All its tracks have an authentic southern coloring and are arranged side by side to compose some sort of [...]
De:Bug Review: Gregorythme / Pikaya – GS06
www.gs-zurich.net
Und weiter geht es mit der neuen EP auf dem Zürcher Label. Brilliant und smooth funkt Gregorythme auf der A-Seite mit sehr lockeren Synths und Sequenzen und lässt sich auf die Halluzinationen der Nacht ein, in denen er die eigenwillig gebogenen Melodien und Klänge wie eine Waffe aus Plüsch anlegt, mit der er sich durchboxt. [...]

ra review: gregorythme – futurama ep – cityfox03
www.cityfox.in
Gregorythme’s bio claims he is not a tool-maker. The producer’s Futurama EP seems to provide ample evidence for this claim, despite what you might think of his ultra-tracky work as one-half of Digitaline. Gregory Poncet, as his parents call him, provides concrete compositions here: “Futurama” has a remarkably clean lead melody that would sound tired [...]
de:bug review: canson – risiko / hot sunday – gs05
www.gs-zurich.net
Endlich wieder eine EP von Canson. Den hatte ich vermisst. Und die beiden Tracks treffen die Sommerstimmung so perfekt, dass man den feinsten kleinsten zischelnden Geräuschen dabei zuhören möchte, wie sie sich unter die Bäume verkriechen und sich nicht wundern würde, tanzte plötzlich mitten auf dem Dancefloor ein Reh. Zwei sehr schöne Sommerhymnen.
Words: Bleed | [...]

Nice Try EP001 – V.A. – NTRY001
www.nicetryrecords.ch
The first record to appear on Nice Try Records, a small Zurich-based label, is a statement and a promise for the future.
The current and the upcoming records on Nice Try are probably best described as ‘eclectic dance music’: They are neither pure techno nor house or electro but first and foremost a blend of different [...]
