mariegottlieb - honest and soulful. The musician composes her songs with a lot of flair. She surprises with her unique voice and manages to combine a catchy song with profound, melancholic lyrics. Her songs create an intimacy from the first note, "darkly beautiful" and always a little different. Somewhere between pop and soul, mariegottlieb's music is like a dear friend who looks closely, understands and just stays with you.

Waldmensch is my solo project—caught between the damp forest floor and a flickering club night.
Born in 1984 in Bern, raised on Walkman mixtapes, Atari trackers, and Gen-X rebellion, I now sculpt analog techno that smells like moss and breathes like machinery.My beats rise where silence screams: after a life-altering event, I turned loss and healing into spiraling sound. The forthcoming album “Tief im Moos” (When Silence Screams) isn’t a track dump—it’s an exposed diary of sub-bass, field recordings, and raw 303 shimmer.
On stage I pilot hardware: DrumBrute, 808 clones, semi-modular rigs, plus spoken-word loops. Stylistically I sail between hard techno, psy-tek, analog schranz, and dreamy ambient breaks.
Every gig is a forest walk: first the crackle, then the pulse. If the room feels quieter afterward than before, it was loud enough.

D-TOX is the pop rock band from the Olten region. D-TOX play their own powerful songs. Sometimes rocky, scratchy, and characterized by fat guitar work, then again as a power ballad with bittersweet keyboards and two-part vocals. Bass and drums wrap up the performance in concentrated energy, tight, to the point, without compromise, but always serving the song. And the lyrics let the songs breathe, tell of hope, love and life, sometimes up-tempo, sometimes slow-motion, but always authentic. Whether hard or soft, the band's typical sound runs like a red thread through the entire setlist.
D-TOX gigs are characterized by pure joy of playing and energy, they let sparks fly on stage and ignite the fire in the audience. The band takes everyone on a rollercoaster ride of emotions and demonstrates its qualities as an impressive live act from the very first bars.

En 2022, Pit (guitare – voix lead), Eric (basse), Lionel (guitare) et Séb (guitare), amis de longue date, souhaitent donner un nouvel élan à leur projet Big Wave, formation rock fondée à la fin des années 2000. La place de batteur étant vacante, ils accueillent Julien, avec qui ils ont déjà collaboré dans d’autres projets (Boss Hogg, Pitchers), qui reprend les baguettes à main levée. Les 5 comparses s’attellent à une redécouverte du répertoire du groupe, observant tout ouïe si la mayonnaise prend. Quelques concerts concluants plus tard, le groupe bifurque vers de nouvelles compositions. Il entre en studio durant l’automne 2024 pour l’enregistrement de son premier EP 4 titres « Horizonville ». DRIVE voit le jour durant la période de mixage, début 2025, officialisant de fait sa naissance.
Marqué par la musique des années 60 aux années 90, DRIVE exsude un rock pur jus, vaguement raffiné, qui enjoint à prendre le volant tambour battant, les haut-parleurs crachant un son saturé. Les aficionados de guitares et de grosses batteries ne manqueront pas de relever une filiation évidente avec le grunge de Seattle, auquel le groupe ajoute quelques touches bluesy en empruntant parfois, des méandres propres au rock progressif. En studio et en concert, le groupe ne convoque que ses amplis, ses fûts et la voix rocailleuse de Pit pour distiller ses compositions, sans pilotage automatique, ni technologie embarquée. Jouant avec les lignes blanches, DRIVE n’en respecte pas moins les codes du classic rock, repoussant en cours de route les glissières jugées trop oppressantes...

Julie Fox’s music is as moving as a view from a mountain’s peak: wide, clear, and filled with emotion. After her acclaimed debut — with indie-folk-pop songs that found their way onto major radio playlists in Switzerland and Germany — such as SRF1, Radio Top, RTS La Première in Switzerland und Bayern 2 und SR2 Kultur in Germany - she returns with her second EP, Each Heart Is a Garden.
Julie Fox stays true to her fresh style: rooted in folk tradition, while her melodies bloom with bold clarity toward pop. Inspired by the rugged beauty of the Grisons mountains, she weaves stories of finding one’s own voice and the strength of true connection. This and next year, she will bring these songs to life on stage for the first time with a band — a collective of musician friends from Graubünden, Zurich, and Thurgau.

Loussona Ground explores an introspective world through hypnotic textures and layers of sound, creating a dreamlike abundance.
She began playing the violin in 1975, later electrifying it, and from 1995 went on to perform live with various groups on her electric violin. This was the beginning of her discovery of another musical universe, electronic music.
Loussona combines magnetic tape synthesizers, ribbon models and semi-modular instruments to create unique sound textures. She fuses electronic music with music boxes that she controls remotely, writing conceptual scores for them. But her ‘Magic Box’ goes far beyond its traditional role as a musical instrument: it becomes a veritable link between drawing and sound.
Using drawings such as silhouettes of birds in flight or mountain peaks, Loussona selects points on the drawing to perforate a card. Each perforation corresponds to a note, transforming the image into a sound score. Once inserted into the ‘Magic Box’, the perforated card triggers specific sounds, turning each work into a source of melodies and rhythms.
Using this instrument, Loussona weaves sonic narratives rooted in conceptual themes.
For example, during her live performance in 2024 at the Villa Le Lac Le Corbusier, she created a composition inspired by a panorama of mountain ranges. Similarly, in 2025, for the Cully Jazz Happening Off, she used the image of seagulls in flight to create an immersive musical experience.
Alongside her conceptual explorations, Loussona also delves into a more experimental approach to sound. Without artifice, she likes to play with textures and moods by operating up to twelve walkmans simultaneously, each playing pre-prepared cassettes. Through this installation, she recreates soundscapes, from the organic sounds of the Tokyo metro to recordings captured in nature. Using this method, Loussona brings sound memories back to life, twisting the thread of reality to immerse audiences in acoustic worlds that are as intimate as they are strange.
Loussona's work explores the limits of sound perception, creating an immersive atmosphere where every moment suspended in sound invites introspection. Thanks to her perfect mastery of sound space and her innovative vision of electronic music, she offers much more than simple listening: a genuine sensory experience, capable of transporting the listener into a state of deep reverie.
The artist is not content to create alone in her world of sound: she constantly enriches her work by collaborating with other artists, both in music and in the visual arts. She has collaborated with renowned Swiss artists such as Consor, Sam Frank Blunier and Claudia Renna, as well as with
Collectif I+, where she played the role of violinist.
Most recently, she accompanied poet Caroline Despont at a public reading, where she met visual artist Sonia Bühler. This encounter gave a new dimension to the Ombre et Lumières project, a performance in which Loussona enhances Sonia Bühler's sculptures with a live soundtrack. Her compositions, imbued with subtle, immersive textures, envelop the shadows of the sculptures, adding a new dimension of sound to the visual work. Caroline Despont, for her part, places her words in touches of light, creating a fusion of poetry, visual art and music that transports the audience into a unique sensory universe.
Loussona's collaborations, whether musical or interdisciplinary, feed her constantly evolving work, and testify to her ability to weave together different art forms to create immersive and original experiences.
Loussona Ground has recently given a number of concerts at festivals and also likes to do happenings in unexpected places with a minimalist set and a looper. She lives and composes in Lausanne.A little visit on my YouTube page ;-))

Producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist – these are the roles McGee effortlessly embodies.
After several projects and a few singles, he decided to reinvent himself in 2021 by changing his stage name.
That’s when Funky McGee was born.Since then, he has produced numerous projects for other artists, including JaDior, Nore6l, Zecca, These Guys, and Caramilk.
In June 2023, he released his first solo project under the Funky McGee name: BLITZ —
a record entirely arranged, written, and performed by himself.He followed it up with a sold-out concert at Salle du Terreau to premiere the project live, along with a few dates in Geneva to introduce it to a wider audience.
He kicked off 2025 with the release of STATU QUO, a six-track EP once again fully composed and performed by him.
The project tells a tragic love story, set against the backdrop of vintage French film soundtracks and poetry.
He presented it live at the Groove venue in Geneva, during an immersive release party lasting over 2.5 hours, joined on stage by several longtime collaborators from his artistic circle.Wasting no time, he returns at the end of June with a new six-track release, MAUVAISE FOI, once again entirely self-directed.
This time, he tackles social and philosophical themes, infused with a distinct touch of cynicism.
