The Flow

contacts : damien.baroni@gmail.com; gerard.burger@bluewin.ch;
laarks est né en 2024 de la rencontre de Gérard Burger (KA, Super-Stoner) au Chapman stick et de Damien Baroni (Oaxaca) à la guitare/effets et du souhait d’évoquer leurs influences communes de King Crimson, Caspar Brötzmann ou Steve Reich de manière inédite. Après quelques tentatives d’écriture, le duo s’est vite rendu à l’euphorie libératrice de l’improvisation. Le batteur Samuel Jakubec (Stortregn, Wabjie, Ailurophobia, Sûn Claw) a complété la formation pour malmener plus encore les dogmes du rock et de la tonalité en insufflant chaos et respiration.

CONTREBARRER – Three musicians, a friendship, a universe!
In the beginning, there are three friends: Guigui, Mika and Camille. Three musicians, a long-standing friendship, and an idea bouncing around in their heads: to create something together that truly reflects who they are.
So they meet up, play, improvise, search... and start over again. The nights get longer, ideas flow, paths cross and sometimes lose their way. But amid it all, one obvious truth emerges: there is a show to invent!
By late 2025, residencies follow one another. They experiment, feel their way, sometimes mess up, but above all keep moving forward. Little by little, the tracks come to life, ideas piece together, and a unique universe takes shape.
The enthusiastic feedback from the audience and encouragement from professionals confirm what the three buddies are starting to feel: CONTREBARRER is becoming much more than just a friendly adventure.
It is a creation in its own right, an artistic playground, a space of freedom where their personalities, influences, and complicity meet.
Today, CONTREBARRER reaches its full scope. And one thing is for sure: they never planned on doing things like everyone else!

Hoi
Mein Name ist Aldin Alic

Ich bin 28 Jahre alt und mache seit 2017 leidenschaftlich Musik. In meinem eigenen Studio baue ich an Beats, nehme mich selber auf und mische auch zum grössten Teil meine Vocals selber.
Seit dem letzten Jahr habe ich mich im Pop Rock /Indie neu erfunden und habe momentan so viel Spass an der Musik wie noch nie. Mein Ziel ist es den Zuhörer-innen ein gutes Gefühl zu geben und allen zu zeigen das man auch im Kanton Graubünden super Musik machen kann.

LION is an 18-year-old artist from northern Switzerland who is forging his own path with his energetic and versatile sound. For around four years, he has been passionately devoted to music and has been constantly refining his very own personal style. With his flair for different sounds, his fresh energy and the courage to push musical boundaries, LION brings his very own vibe – authentic, multifaceted and full of potential.

Palomafuerte ist Kleinstadt-Poesie par excellence. Er mauserte sich in den letzten Jahren zur kritisch-selbstironischen Nachtigall. Das enfant terrible der Nachtgesänge bewegt sich dabei stellenweise grossmäulig provokativ und manchmal melancholisch intim in brachialen Kanzonen, die sich mit eingängigem Indie Rock vermischen.
In mitreissender Eleganz streift er relevante Themen und pointiert scharfsinnig, humorvoll, fasziniert und polarisiert damit gleichermassen.

Eric Daniell makes Swiss German pop that blends pop-rock and funk. The Zurich artist launched his music project in 2026 with his debut single, “Michelle”. The song about a brief summer romance has already received airplay on Swiss radio stations including Kanal K, RaBe, Radio Grenzenlos and Radio 4TNG.

His second single, “Gheim”, followed on 30 October. The funk-infused pop song explores a situationship in which one person wants more while the other wants to keep things casual. Closeness, yes. Commitment, less so.

Both singles were recorded at Powerplay Studios in Maur with producer Cyrill Camenzind and musicians Marvin Trummer, Marco Blöchlinger and Martin Fischer. Mixing and mastering were handled by Reto Muggli.

Inspired by Tom Odell, Keane and Coldplay, Eric writes his songs at the piano, which he has played since the age of six. As a singer, however, he kept his voice to himself for years. It was only with the release of “Michelle” that those around him really heard him sing. Some could hardly believe it was his own voice.

With two singles released, Eric Daniell is now working on more songs in Swiss German.

SPHERYA is a Swiss music project bringing together electronics, percussion and string instruments. It explores sonic territories between electronic music, ambient and experimentation, weaving rhythms, atmospheres and improvisation. Each composition is a journey through urban and natural landscapes, where acoustic and electronic sounds meet and transform.

Big Dreams Avenue is a cutting-edge musical collective redefining the boundaries of modern music production by bridging the gap between human emotion and artificial intelligence. By seamlessly fusing organic instrumentation with advanced AI technologies, the project delivers a high-energy, nostalgic, yet futuristic soundscape that redefines the indie-pop and synth-rock landscapes.
At the core of the band’s sonic identity is an innovative hybrid approach to creation:
The Hybrid Performance: Dynamic, real-world guitar riffs, drums and percussions played by Santiago Ortola and McCarthy's organic human vocals collide with meticulously programmed AI instruments and synthetic vocal harmonies.
Modern Techniques: Using state-of-the-art vocal modeling and sound design, the project shapes AI layers to act as lush, cinematic extensions of the human performance—creating a massive, wall-of-sound effect that is entirely unique to the digital age.
The Narrative Voice: Driving this technological engine is the vivid storytelling of songwriter Patrick McCarthy, who pens all of the band's lyrics. McCarthy’s words anchor the high-tech production in raw, universal human experiences—exploring themes of nostalgia, distance, and fleeting memories.
By combining the unpredictable soul of human artistry with the flawless precision of artificial intelligence, Big Dreams Avenue doesn’t just make music for today—they are paving the sonic highway for the future of pop

Musical, inspired and passionate: that's how she sees and feels herself.

Marlin was born and raised in Switzerland and has Swiss, Guinean and Hungarian roots. Her diverse background sparked an early interest in music and performance. Introduced by her father, she discovered the R&B, hip-hop, reggae and rap of the '90s and 2000s as a child. Artists like Alicia Keys, Lauryn Hill, Bob Marley, Usher and Sido shaped her musical taste. As a child, she was already writing lyrics, taking dance classes and singing in choirs, and she decided early on to become a singer.

In 2019, she released her first EP 688 as part of the duo "Øzyah" with her longtime friend and producer Gabiga. This led to her first performances in Zurich, Aarau and Baden. Since her solo single More (2022), Marlin has been writing songs with Gabiga (known for work with Ovrkast, Danitsa, Benjamin Amaru, Luuk) that evoke deep emotion. Her lyrics are honest and vulnerable, her music authentic. Radio stations such as SRF 3, SRF Virus, Couleur 3, RTS La 1ère and Global Soul Radio have supported her with airplay.

In 2024, Marlin was part of the Mountain Academy at Zermatt Unplugged and the Montreux Jazz Residency. Her debut EP New Her (February 2025) reflects on a toxic relationship and her journey back to herself. In April, it earned her the title SRF 3 Best Talent. Produced by Gabiga, the EP blends R&B and pop with influences from Tom Misch, J Dilla, Masego, Ari Lennox and Jorja Smith. That same summer, Marlin performed at Montreux Jazz Festival and Moon & Stars Locarno. In 2026, she played Cully Jazz Festival and Luzern Live, and in October she took part in the SUISA Songwriting Camp.

In March 2026, she released her second EP Side Effects. It looks ahead: after healing, the focus is on letting healthy love in, even when old patterns resurface. Moving between R&B, pop and funk, Marlin tells this story openly through singles like Hard To Get and the title track Side Effects. She is currently working on new music for 2027.

Alex Ash — La renaissance d’une passion

Alex Buchi, alias Alex Ash, est une figure de la scène pop rock suisse, pour qui la musique est bien plus qu’une passion : c’est une respiration. Depuis toujours, la musique est son refuge, son échappatoire, son ancrage.

En 2013, il fonde avec des amis d’enfance le groupe de rock Jetlakes, où il devient la voix du projet. Une voix reconnaissable parmi toutes : chaleureuse et puissante à la fois, habitée d’une sincérité brute qui touche l’âme, dès les premières notes.
Pendant cinq ans, Jetlakes enchaîne les concerts, une vingtaine par an, le succès radio de ses singles (Back to Life, Thunderstorm) leur permet de se produire notamment en première partie de Mika à l’Arena de Genève, de fouler les scènes du Caribana Festival et de nombreux festivals en Suisse et France. En 5 ans, Jetlakes réalise un album, deux EPs et plusieurs clips, le tout en autoproduction.
En 2018, en parallèle de son nouveau projet Souvarof et après avoir connu la richesse et les défis de la vie de groupe, Alex ressent un besoin particulier : celui de se retrouver seul face à lui-même et de se recentrer.
En 2019, né alors le projet Alex Ash : une pop électro organique, mêlant piano-voix expressif, percussions électroniques, synthés atmosphériques.

Il s’entoure de son ami musicien et producteur Lucien Leclerc avec qui il sortira en 2020 un EP de covers d’artistes de différents styles qui l’inspirent, notamment : « Opposite » de Biffy Clyro , « The Hype » de Twenty One Pilots, en passant par « Parasite Eve » de Bring Me The Horizon ou encore « Always » de Galvin James.
En 2022, il sort sa première composition en solo, « Letters to Your Heart », un cri du cœur électro-pop, direct et incandescent, où piano-voix et beats électrisants fusionnent dans une émotion universelle, produite par Lucien. Son clip dépasse rapidement les 30'000 vues sur YouTube. Aujourd’hui, en parallèle de sa vie d’entrepreneur, Alex décide d’aller plus loin, il s’autorise enfin à réaliser un rêve qui l’accompagne depuis longtemps : créer un album sans compromis, un album introspectif, brut et sincère, qui lui ressemble vraiment. Avec ses mots et ses mélodies, nourris par ses grandes influences du moment comme Sam Fender, Bruce Springsteen ou The War On Drugs.

Dans un monde de plus en plus dominé par la technologie et l’IA, Alex choisit le contre-pied : remettre l’humain, l’émotion et les instruments vivants au centre de son projet artistique, de revenir à l’essence de ce qui l’anime depuis toujours : une musique organique, vraie, sans artifice.
Il s’allie à des amis musiciens qui partagent sa vision et qui comprennent son univers dont Simon Jaccard, multi-instrumentiste et réalisateur, et recontacte Steve Forward, producteur et directeur artistique de renommée internationale (Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, Ray Charles, Depeche Mode ou encore Serge Gainsbourg), qui fait partie des piliers de confiance qui l’entoure sur son chemin artistique depuis toujours. Complices, ils construisent ensemble, un projet artistique fidèle et exigeant.
En live, il rêve d’une formation complète : guitare, basse, batterie, piano, synthés — chaque note sera jouée.
Ce disque dont la sortie est prévue en 2027, sera l’album de la résurrection, celui où il redonne vie à sa passion. Les chansons abordent des thèmes universels qu’il raconte à travers son expérience de vie : la quête de sens, la beauté des petites choses du quotidien, l’épreuve du doute, l’envie de croire encore.

Avec sa voix et sa vérité émouvante, Alex Ash porte l’ambition simple mais essentielle de remettre de l’âme dans la musique. Pas pour plaire. Pas pour suivre une mode.
Mais pour toucher droit au cœur, humblement, sincèrement.

Formed in June 2024 through the meeting of singer Cœur and a trio of rock musicians, Heartbeat has developed a musical universe rooted in progressive rock and enriched by electronic textures. Featuring English-language lyrics, the band creates original tracks that blend powerful riffs, evolving structures, and intense, emotionally charged vocal performances.
Electronic samples further define the band’s musical identity, deepening the atmosphere of their compositions.
In the summer of 2025, Heartbeat self-produced two tracks and held an initial residency at Le Brise Glace in Annecy, where they developed an immersive stage production incorporating lighting effects synchronized with the music. Throughout 2025, the band performed five concerts (in Grenoble, Gex, Geneva, and Marcellaz), gradually refining their set and establishing their stage identity.
By the end of 2025, Heartbeat reached a new milestone by bringing on a pair of sound engineers to optimize their sonic output and enhance the live experience.
In 2026, the band continued its evolution by recording their first studio track, accompanied by a music video ("Don't Give Up"). With eight concerts throughout the year, Heartbeat is expanding its presence on the regional scene and increasing its engagement with audiences—performing in the Isère, Ain, and Haute-Savoie departments in France, as well as in the Swiss cantons of Geneva and Vaud.
Defined by its progressive rock identity and a stage show that is constantly evolving, Heartbeat aims to share its unique musical universe across the region’s venues and festivals, delivering an intense, immersive, and deeply emotional live experience.

Oscillating between intensity and restraint, their original compositions are distinguished by complex structures and rich atmospheres.
Driven by sincere and deeply moving lyrics, each track is elevated by the vibrant voice of their lead singer, who lays her heart bare on stage.
Ranging from atmospheric to high-octane, the musicians deliver an authentic, visceral experience, characterized by an exploratory and bold rock sound.
HEARTBEAT creates a sonic wave that hits you in the gut—leaving no one indifferent. Their musical world is sure to captivate fans of Muse, Evanescence, Radiohead, Archive, LEAP, and Leprous.
