FAMARA, born Thomas Nikles, grew up in the picturesque Leimental region at the foot of the Jura Mountains (BL, Switzerland). After attending a percussion workshop in 1984, he discovered his passion for African rhythms – and never stopped playing drums from that moment on.
Following numerous solo performances, he joined various Afro and Latin bands. During a guest appearance with Basel-based rapper «Luana», he evolved from a percussionist into a Raggamuffin singer. His first single, «Sunshine Bubbler» (1997), received positive feedback. However, it was his trip to Gambia in early 1998 that brought him unexpected recognition in musical and media circles. After performing at the Gambian Independence Festival in front of an audience of around 15’000 people, the Gambia Weekend Observer headlined on February 6, 1998: «Swiss Reggae Star in Town».
During his second visit to Gambia later that same year, he embarked on a national tour and recorded his debut album «Natural Fact», released in 1999. This was followed by an African tour in 2000, taking him through Gambia, Mali, and Senegal.
Over the years, FAMARA has performed countless concerts and tours and appeared on various TV shows both in Switzerland and internationally – including collaborations with artists such as Youssou N’Dour and Tiken Jah Fakoly. He has released a series of albums: «Natural Fact» (1999), «Sunlife» (2001), «Toubab Man» (2003), «Famasound» (2004), «Double Culture» (2005), «Oreba» (2008), «The Sound Of Famara» (2010), «The Cosmopolitan» (2012), and «Karibu» (2014).
After a longer creative break, the reggae veteran made a strong comeback in 2023 with the album «Tembo Power», once again highlighting his deep roots in African music and global influences.
With the EP «Tropic Tonic», scheduled for release in autumn 2026, FAMARA opens a new chapter. The project blends classic reggae with modern dancehall elements, delivering vibrant, danceable rhythms and a fresh evolution of his signature world-beat sound.
Colorful, cosmopolitan, and raw, FAMARA’s Africa-rooted reggae style stands out for its authenticity and energy. His powerful live performances captivate audiences within moments and consistently ignite the crowd. With well over 500 shows in Switzerland and appearances at major national and international festivals – including Gampel, St. Gallen, Frauenfeld, Heitere, Summerjam, Chiemsee, and Rototom Sunsplash – as well as more than 25’000 records sold, FAMARA is considered one of the most active and successful reggae acts in Switzerland. He has also shared the stage with internationally renowned artists such as Seeed, Gentleman, and Ziggy Marley, further cementing his place in the global reggae scene.

Blaukpchn is part of a new wave, or perhaps more of a wave of his own. Moving between rap, ballads, and self-produced beats, he exists somewhere where melancholy feels light and seriousness never fully takes over. His songs carry a quiet depth, telling stories of emotions that feel both intimate and elusive.
Blaukpchn deliberately stays hidden. He rarely shows his face and alters his voice, distorting and speeding it up, as if pulling away from himself. In doing so, he creates a space where emotion matters more than identity.
His music is raw, colorful, and entirely selfmade. A sound that resists clear definition, and finds its strength exactly there.

Tom Sutter is a musician from Toggenburg (Switzerland) born in 1973.
He discovered his love for music and the guitar in the 80's and this fire of passion has been a pillar of his life since those days.
Musical influences can be found in rock, hard rock, funk rock, country, and bluegrass as well as bands like: Aerosmith, U2, Depeche Mode, Poison, Motley Crew, Rage against the Machine, Talk Talk, Queen, Genesis, Phil Collins, Extreme, Guns` n Roses, The Cure to name a few.Throughout his musical career, Tom has collaborated with many musicians and played in various bands and ensembles. For over ten years, he has been writing and producing his own songs, which are a defining part of his life. As a songwriter and guitarist with backing vocals, he released his first CD in 2017 with his then-band, SWISSMAYD. Some of these songs made it onto the radio in Switzerland and abroad. This milestone in his life was crowned in the fall of 2018 with a European tour as the opening act for the Swedish rock bands "The Poodles" and "Degreed." However, in 2020, the band broke up due to insurmountable problems among the members.
These experiences left Tom with very deep wounds and scars. He subsequently began to forge his own path and released two songs, "Light for Others" and "Love for Real," in 2021. He played all the instruments (except the drums) and all the vocals himself. In the fall of 2022, his solo debut EP, "NEW CHILD," was released.
At the end of 2021, Tom was able to bring his old musician friend Jack Frei on board, whose exceptional dobro playing captivates audiences and listeners.
Later, the band was completed by Christian Dobler (drums/cajon) and, in autumn 2023, by Simon Stocker. Unfortunately, Simon left the band at the end of 2025 to pursue his own project but was replaced by Christof Rhyner.In June 2026, the brand-new debut EP "Share Your Fire" will be released!
We finished it with Simon on bass, as a fitting conclusion to his outstanding work.
Four men – one passion! Get ready for a very special mix of groovy songs!

She started experimenting with music at an early age; even though it's dangerous, she just keeps going.
She has composed, performed and recorded three studio albums on her own. On the fourth, she thought she had smelled enough of her own socks; that's why she mixed "SILO" together with the great Manuel Rindlisbacher.In 2022 she is recording the new album.
There are videos for all new songs. Rumsdiwums:)still breathing after all.

"A techno enthusiast since my beginnings, my approach has always been driven by experimentation. Some may already know me as ABUZ by DJ TOX-IN, a period when I crafted my sounds in a more traditional way—productions you can still rediscover on mx3.ch.
Today, I'm opening a new chapter by integrating artificial intelligence into my creative process. Far from replacing emotion, AI allows me to push the boundaries of my imagination to generate entirely new rhythms and textures.
This is music made out of pure curiosity, for the joy of discovery, and for the love of raw sound, bridging my roots with the tools of tomorrow."

I’m a model from the early 1970s.
I got into music relatively late and, in the early 1990s, toured as a drummer with Salmonella Q, Yelow Snow, and other smaller music projects, including TV and radio appearances.
Around 2005, my music career came to a halt for a few years.
After moving to the Bernese Jura in 2013, opportunities to make music gradually opened up again. The Bernese Jura is very remote and idyllic, but finding musicians willing to join a project was simply almost impossible, which encouraged me—and sometimes even forced me—to play all the instruments myself for my compositions.
Around 2024, the project took on a more serious nature, and I invested in a music studio to ensure the desired quality of the recordings. Today, in 2026, I am able to accompany, record, and produce my own and others’ projects. The studio is also available for rent for smaller productions.
Currently, with the addition of two singers (Simone van Rijn and Lilly Lou), we’re working on new songs. With today’s technology, it’s relatively easy to generate a perfectly sounding voice or tweak the song to the beat until it’s perfect. I myself clearly distance myself from these practices and want to preserve the liveliness and depth of the songs, which ultimately creates a sense of uniqueness.
What you have to do, how it has to sound, how long the song has to be to be successful… all of that bores me to death, and I almost never compromise; I simply have no interest in chasing after the monetary mainstream and want to make the music that’s emerging right now. The moment, an experience, emotional outbursts—whether up or down—are the trigger and the strong foundation for a genuine, authentic song; whether people like it or not is secondary to me. Let others produce songs based on formulas for success; there are enough of those already.

Anastasija Stanojevic (voice) and Noah Studer (drums) are UNSERE ELTERN.
With their upcoming album UNSERE ELTERN im Schaufenster, they explore the dissolution of hierarchies between voice, percussion, and abstract sound. The voice shifts from expressive presence to instrumental texture, gradually distorting and merging with the drums.
The project moves between noise grooves and futuristic pop, shaped by strong dynamic contrasts, physical immediacy, and rhythmic clarity. Working through free improvisation and real-time interaction, UNSERE ELTERN create focused, intense performances without predefined structures.
The title UNSERE ELTERN im Schaufenster reflects the duo’s growth as young musicians making music that is deliberately non-commercial, both in process and in outcome. The “shop window” becomes a metaphor: they place themselves and their music on display, open to being seen and heard, yet without offering more than observation or passing by. It is an act of exposure without compromise.
Recorded during a freely improvised live session on August 3, 2024, in Lucerne, the album captures a raw moment between control and instability.

Eléonore is a self-taught singer-songwriter.
Passionate about songwriting, she writes above all in her mother tongue, French, whose poetry and richness she loves. She likes to play with words and their sounds, sculpting her sentences with delicacy to give them depth and multiple meanings.
She released her first album, Hurle à la Lune, in 2011.
She met pianist and composer Bartolomeo Lanza in 2013, and the desire to compose songs
together was evident.
With him, she discovers a different approach to music and voice. Using the frequencies of the voice as an authentic vehicle for an experience of the being.In 2017, while writing her second album, Eléonore fell ill.
This experience led them to put into lyrics and music their strong common experiences and
universal themes such as the confrontation with death.In 2020, she released a video for the single « Le meurtre de l’innocence » (The murder of
innocence) a song that is relevant in the current context, which speaks with dignity about abuse and the world's indifference to it.In this second album, through her voice and lyrics, enhanced by the sensitive, powerful
compositions by Bartolomeo Lanza, she explores the depths of human emotions, recounting the intensity of life, through themes inherent to our humanity; mourning, illness, death, but also motherhood, love, hope and healing.She collaborates with first violin Hans Liviabella (1st violin of OSI / Quartetto Lino Liviabella /
Member of the Chambre Orchestra of Europe ), and composer Lee Bradshaw (Composer of the first grand opera in Arabic) for the string arrangements.The album « I'm nobody » was released in 2022, a testimonial album, which gave her the will to live and heal so that she could share her experience with the public. Then a series of concerts followed in Switzerland and Italy, in unexpected places; castles, abbeys and theaters, notably at the LAC en plein air festival, on July 15th 2023, at the LAC (Lugano Arte e Cultura) in Lugano.
In 2022, RSI (radiotelevisione svizzera italiana) produced three videos, including the official video « L’enfant » (RSI musica)
In October 2024, on occasion of Pink October, another video clip was released, « I saw me so pale », produced by RSI. An authentic message about the rawness of breast cancer and its impact on a woman's body, depicted with an unvarnished sensitivity. The theme of womanhood is inherent in her writing.
Eléonore is currently working on two musical projects with Bartolomeo Lanza.
The one you are about to hear speaks with tenderness about the passing of time, and especially, in these dark times, about that stirring even before the beginning of time. About the delicate transition from night to a new dawn…
« È solo tempo che passa ». It's just time passing.
