The Zurich-based band rose from the ashes of the legendary Circle Brothers. During the coronavirus lockdown, twin brothers Alban Ringli (guitar/vocals) and Urs Ringli (bass) reunited with Martin Heer (drums). Fueled by pent-up energy, they began crafting a sound heavier than their previous work. The dust has settled, yet the foundation remains; building upon it, Donalds of Horror have erected a new rock cathedral, adorned with ornaments and guardian spirits reminiscent of Joy Division, Bauhaus, the Dead Kennedys, the Clash and Metallica.

Even as a child, Jula Glore was passionate about playing the piano.
Although she took piano lessons for a few years, her own compositions were always more important to her. To this day, she plays and performs her songs and piano pieces without sheet music.
In her mid-20s, she spent several months working as a background pianist at a resort hotel, where she had the opportunity to present her original compositions—which were still instrumental at the time—to an audience outside her own four walls.
Shortly thereafter, she began writing songs and performing them herself. Two of these were professionally produced for a demo tape purposes by #Carsten Mentzel at a studio in Bonn, Germany. He is himself an incredibly versatile artist and music producer: https://carsten-mentzel.de/
In the years that followed, she sang and played in several bands, and in 2009, she became fully absorbed in songwriting. Within 12 months, she composed nearly 30 songs and gradually overcame her severe stage fright, finally presenting three songs from her new material to the public for the first time at the “take 15” event at the “Turbine Theater” www.turbinetheater.ch in October 2009.
This event brought Jula together with the three-member core of the band “NiceNoise.” The temporary “joint venture” between Jula and NiceNoise was sealed, resulting in a one-hour performance at the “Albis Openair” in 2010.Jula’s melodious, emotionally charged songs are brimming with heart, passion, and ambition.
After a break, her first officially produced single, “Sky on Fire,” was released in December 2019, along with a music video.
In 2020, Jula wrote her first commissioned song in Swiss German, “Füür und Flamme,” for a wedding couple. However, the song has not been released; it is only “available” on MX3.ch.
In October 2020, the second single, “Mid-Season Sale,” was released, followed by a Eurodance-style remix in October 2025.
Another project close to her heart was the release of the ballad “NO WAY BACK,” which came out in mid-December 2024 along with a music video, as well as another deeply emotional ballad, “Stronger,” released earlier in October 2024.
More songs will follow in the coming months and in 2027. Along with the previously released tracks, they will be part of the long-planned debut album, which will showcase the diversity of Jula’s musical work.
Between 2009 and 2026, over 50 compositions and songs were created across the genres of pop, rock, soul-pop, and several ballads. A selection of these, including the tracks already released, will be part of the planned album. All released songs have been and will be produced exclusively by #Domenico Livrano https://www.livrano-group.ch/domenico-livrano-tonstudio (with the exception of “Sky on Fire,” produced in collaboration with Simona Müller/iMD-Sunjita.

Nina Valotti makes dialect pop for anyone who isn’t quite sure where they’re heading yet – but is getting rather good at forging their own path. In a personal, direct style and with a healthy dose of self-confidence, the Zurich-based musician writes about change, feeling overwhelmed, relationships and the courage to take oneself seriously.
In 2025, Nina Valotti released her debut album *Fang nomal a* and played around 40 gigs across Switzerland. March 2026 saw a highlight of her career so far: being named SRF 3 Best Talent at the Swiss Music Awards.
Live, she consistently performs alone on stage. Using an electric guitar, synthesiser, samples and loops, she builds her songs herself and makes being a solo artist a central part of her artistic identity.
Her new EP, *Nüt isch für immer (au wänn i das wett)*, created in collaboration with producer Luca Burkhalter, is due for release in autumn 2026. It explores a contradiction that runs through Nina Valotti’s current music: the desire to hold on to things whilst realising that everything is constantly changing anyway.
The new songs tell of decisions and their consequences, of moments when it all becomes too much, of being in between, and of the question of what actually happens when you stop trying to fit into predefined patterns.
Nina Valotti sounds more self-assured than ever. She writes about being different, about big dreams and about not having to constantly explain one’s own path – without pretending that this means all doubts have vanished. Perhaps you don’t actually have to have figured everything out. Sometimes it’s enough to trust your own ideas, let your imagination run wild a little, and just set off.

Enrique Spacca, an Italian-Colombian songwriter and pianist, shapes what he calls imaginal music, an Italian indie folk shot through with transcendental pop: through simple vocal melodies and the unexpected harmonies of an introspective piano, he opens the doors of an inner world to his audience.
Based in Switzerland, he weaves Italian, his mother tongue, with English to tell stories of upheaval and transformation, inviting a shift in perspective: beyond the noise of the world, to renew the bond that unites us to others and to the living, and to find unity at the heart of division.
His solo project is a tension towards authenticity, matured over years of sound exploration within bands and visual research, in the lineage of Battiato, Conte, Pino Daniele and Andrea Lazlo de Simone.

At Baron Lane ist eine vierköpfige Indie Band aus Raum Zürich bis Lachen SZ. Seit der Plattentaufe ihres Debütalbums „in Paradise“, welche sie 2019 in der Amboss Rampe Zürich feierten, hat die Band ihr Songwriting laufend verfeinert – und im Rahmen unzähliger Konzerte erfolgreich live getestet. Ebenfalls war das Quartett unter anderem schon in der Schüür Luzern, dem Exil Club Zürich und dem Werk21 im Dynamo Zürich zu sehen.
Inspiriert von Bands wie Parcels, Twenty One Pilots, Metronomy, l’Imperactrice oder auch Duran Duran erkundet At Baron Lane die Grenzen von Indie Pop und experimentiert mit interessanten Arrangements, Synthesizer-Klängen, mehrstimmigem Gesang, und luftigen Elektrobeats. Manchmal wagt sich die Band aber auch in Richtung Madness – so auf ihrem bevorstehenden Konzeptalbum “The Cause”, welches Ende 2025 erscheinen wird.
Auf dem bevorstehenden Album erzählt At Baron Lane, wie der fiktive Revolutionär ‘Lenny’ zuerst einen Ausweg aus dem bürokratischen System unserer Gesellschaft sucht und dabei Anhänger*innen um sich schart, was sich zu einem richtigen Kult entwickelt. Trotz seinem ganzen Gefolge und dem Eindruck, dass grundsätzlich auch Aussenstehende an vielen Stellen die Meinungen von Lenny teilen, verflüchtigt sich irgendwann die Bewegung plötzlich. Ohne etwas erreicht zu haben schwindet auch Lennys Energie, sich weiterhin für den “Cause” einzusetzen.
Erste Eindrücke zum Ska-Punk angehauchten Sound finden sich auf der Single “Gotta Get Out”, welche die Band bereits 2019 fertigstellte. Das Album und die Geschichte fertig zu schreiben war allerdings ein langgezogener Prozess, wobei ebenfalls 2020 der etwas funkigere Track “Right Hand Man”, oder der Beatles inspirierte Song “Change” (2023) entstanden waren.

STATIC GIRL is a grunge artist born from distortion, insomnia, and the feeling that modern life is quietly breaking people apart. Blending raw guitars, blown-out textures, haunting melodies, and explosive emotion, her songs feel like lost transmissions from the edge of a collapsing world.
Part riot, part confession, Static Girl channels the chaotic spirit of ’90s alternative through a darker modern lens—where vulnerability bleeds into rage and beauty hides inside the noise. Her music swings between fragile whispers and violent release, capturing the tension between wanting to disappear and wanting to be heard.
As an animated act, Static Girl exists somewhere between reality and static: a cinematic world where ordinary places reveal impossible emotions. Through fractured identities, quiet obsessions, and the invisible rituals of modern life, every song explores what it means to lose yourself—and, sometimes, to find yourself again in the silence after the noise.

BEYOND FREQUENCIES - Hits you right in the pit of your stomach and delivers a dazzling firework of sound and electrifying live shows!
With the release of “More Than a Feeling”, Beyond Frequencies is kicking off a new chapter. The single marks the start of the road to the fourth studio album, set for spring 2027, with several more singles to follow before the album drops.
The Swiss Rock Act fuses irresistible catchy hooks with the force of modern rock and the right dose of metal intensity. The upcoming releases push Beyond Frequencies’ signature contrasts even further: melodic yet heavy, polished yet raw, accessible yet uncompromising.
Driven by the unmistakable voice of frontlady and songwriter Blazy⚡️Flash – 2026 Fluxx Award winner for Best Songwriter in Metal/Rock – the Swiss act is stepping into its next chapter at full force!
Since the debut album “Megalomania” in 2020, Beyond Frequencies has gained international attention with airplay on major rock radio stations in Germany and internationally, including the US and Australia, as well as editorial playlist placements on Apple and Amazon Music, including “Breaking Hard Rock”, “New Music Daily”, “Fresh Metal” and more. In 2022, “After Dark” won a Metal Industry Award for Best Music Video, while “Back Off” reached #4 of the Hottest Songs of the same year.
Following the second album “Me, Megalomaniac” in 2023, Beyond Frequencies toured eight European countries with Brazilian act Semblant. The third album “Everything I Am” followed in 2024, bringing a heavier edge to the signature melodic sound.
Beyond Frequencies’ catchy hooks have also caught the attention of brands and companies, leading to placements in corporate advertising campaigns, including the songs “Eye of the Storm”, “Feel” and “Hell Freezes Over”. Most recently, Beyond Frequencies made an appearance on national US television in Detroit.
With an unmistakable sound and big hooks that stick, Beyond Frequencies is making a clear statement about where modern rock is heading next.

upbeat music for the chronically exhausted (•ᴗ•,, )
Antilo is an indie-electronic project driven by pop hooks, rock grit, and hyper-specific, deadpan lyricism. It explores the absurdity of modern heartbreak and emotional burnout through the eyes of an analytical Everyman, using humor as a tour-guide through his own emotional wreckage. The music is candidly ironic and deeply relatable; it’s the soundtrack for anyone who has ever ruined a perfectly good relationship just because the other person didn't like your favorite hobby. Ultimately, it's upbeat music for the chronically exhausted.

ELLA MALHERBE is a Swiss-Irish composer, singer-songwriter and producer, creating both her own music and original scores for film. She has carved out a distinctive artistic path, writing equally for orchestra and for her own voice and guitars, with a deep sensitivity to sonic textures and a skill for creating immersive musical worlds.
Her debut solo single, LANDLOCKED (June 2026), was immediately playlisted by three Swiss national radio stations and featured on BBC Introducing during its release week—an impressive achievement for an independent release.
Although Landlocked marks her first release under her own name, Ella has spent the past 17 years performing across Switzerland and Europe, most notably as one half of the duo Marzella (2009–2025). Their music received airplay on Swiss national radio and the BBC, was featured on Spotify editorial playlists, amassing over 500,000 streams, and led them to perform at festivals including Montreux Jazz Festival, Estivale Openair, and Venoge Festival. Together, they also co-composed the score for the award-winning documentary Cascadeuses.
In 2024, Ella was selected for an artistic residency in Seoul and was invited by her university to develop an inter-university project at the Yared School of Music in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. She has also been invited for two consecutive years by Music & Cinema Marseille to take part in its composer programmes. In 2026, she was one of only two composers selected for SoPro, the professional development programme of the Solothurn Film Festival.
This autumn, Ella will return to the stage with the contemporary dance company TacTic (Leyla Haubois), release music originally written for film, and unveil songs she has kept close for years.

Hi, I’m Tonik, a rapper from Zurich. At 24 years old, I already have almost 10 years of music behind me. Over the years, I’ve made beats, learned some mixing, and above all, I’ve been rapping — whether it’s freestyle or writing lyrics for a new song that I want to record.
I have a lot to say, in a world that, in my eyes, is losing more and more of its personality, where greed is taking over and everything is moving way too fast. I process all of this in my lyrics and try to express my ideals for a better world.
My goal is to never give up, no matter how difficult it becomes to keep this passion alive. Because whether I make it or not, I am and always will be a rapper ;))!
