Orto Fresco takes root in Geneva, Switzerland. The project was born in 2024 after two long-time friends decided to combine their love of football, music and olive oil to create a delicious blend of soul, indie and pop. The tune Chalet crystallizes this joyful friendship with its Brazilian-tinged choir, while the single, Maggia, takes us into an instrumental groove worthy of a sitcom credits_
JUNEE_

Junee is a slow waltz that oscillates between pop, experimental and when the time is right, transforms into a stormy ocean that seizes the body. Grating siren songs lead our wounded souls to dark but heavenly corners. The theremin embraces the violin envelops, as sound crashes like waves on synthesized ribbons_

ROSHÂNI brings together two personalities with harmoniously eclectic musical
inspirations that are both danceable and profound.
An explosive fusion of styles, ROSHÂNI sets a danceable tempo to the sounds of
Roxane’s raspy vocals in Spanish, French and Farsi, and Inès’s synthesizers and
deep bass_

Emerging from Geneva’s underground scene, Ethyos440 is the meeting of groove band L’Eclair and DJ/producer Dj Laxxiste A. This ultimate late-night-infected-dub- live band pairs sequencers and human grooves, analog instruments are played live on riddims, fx’s, and samples manually executed with a dub-mix approach towards the extreme_

You could see District Five as a collective catalyst, where each member integrates what touches him or her, constantly evolving. These influences are in perpetual motion, with a humble, almost retro starting point: the simple pleasure of playing together. Their weekly meeting becomes a ritual, a synthesis of common interests. Sure, you could call it jazz, but even that generous definition ends up sounding too restrictive_
The genre is a source of inspiration, but not an end in itself. Rather, it's the origin from which everything else springs_

Bobbyy is a producer, drummer, and DJ based in Los Angeles. Known for his work with Seattle bands sunking and High Pulp, 2024 sees Bobbyy stepping out as a solo artist, working with the likes of Pink Siifu, Hi Tech, Blvck Svm, and more. Bobbyy’s debut album ‘Buckets’ is an homage to his deep love and understanding of music history, incorporating elements of Chicago House a la Larry Heard, alongside raw, sample-based production reminiscent of Madlib or Daedelus, all the while basking in 808’s. In the wild, Bobbyy can be found spinning boogie records on a sunny afternoon or DJing breaks and footwerk at your favorite night club_

🔊_Progressions_Imaginaires_
What is Perilymph? To keep it quite general, it’s this fluid stuff in the ears that helps transmit various waves (a «propagating dynamic disturbance of one or more quantities») present in one’s surroundings to the old braino, who transforms them into what we can refer to as sound, and, potentially, with the help of our perception of time, interpret as music. Perilymph has been doing exactly this for quite a while now_
Geographically speaking, they’re based in Berlin (De), where they work fer- vently to realise meticulous and complex arrangements as effortless fod- der to slap your basal ganglia around, which works pretty good both live and on record_

Forged by Geneva's alternative culture, L'Osmose fearlessly blends 70s psychedelia with a hint of futuristi groove since 2020_
Mixing autotune, vocoder, percussion, electric guitars, and analog synthesizers, the sextet has already grace stages across Switzerland and beyond_
Discovered by L'Éclair in 2022, the band continued their ascent by recording a promising debut album with
their support, subsequently signed to the Swiss label Stone Pixels Records_
In the meantime, immerse yourself in the raw, sincere, and enchanting energy of their live performances_

The Genevan singer-songwriter's penchant for putting his problems and foibles on display in his lyrics and commenting on them with a certain sense of humor is well known; we can now affirm that he has become an expert in this exercise. "Fringale", his first solo effort released in 2022 on the Franco-Helvetic label Le Pop Club Records, dissected a neurotic daily life with precision and distance. Romano Bianchi returns with a more modern and personal work, no less cryptically titled "Le Don et la Disgrâce". Bolstered by potential hits such as Bonjour Madame and Noyau Dur, his latest album has gained in maturity and cynicism what it has lost in opacity_
