Biographie :
Jean-Marc Feghouli est un DJ et producteur passionné par la musique électronique depuis plus de 10 ans.
Influencé par l’Old School, la Dance et l’EDM des années 2000, il compose et produit des titres qui mêlent nostalgie et énergie brute.
Sur scène, il s’est forgé une solide expérience en tant que résident dans des clubs comme l’Artichaut et Weetamix, où il a affiné son style et appris à lire la foule.Sur Mixcloud, il partage régulièrement des sets Techno et Trance acclamés, classés plusieurs fois N°1 mondial dans les charts Hardtek, Techno et Trance. Un succès qu’il accueille avec gratitude, sans jamais perdre de vue sa liberté artistique.
Aujourd’hui, il est également résident sur Planet Music, Radiotriphop et MixPlus, des radios où il transmet sa vision éclectique de l’électro à un public fidèle et grandissant.
Toujours entre deux idées folles et un projet plus réfléchi, Jean-Marc prépare actuellement un nouveau titre entre Old School, Tech House, Dance et Hands Up. Une création qu’il dévoilera fin 2025 sur Mixcloud et Soundcloud, avec la même énergie brute qui fait son identité.

DJ $B (DJ SB) is a 20-year-old vinyl selector, turntablist, and award-winning maker based between Aargau and Zurich, Switzerland. Rooted deep in 90s boom-bap, underground hip-hop, and soulful R&B, his sound combines sharp technical skill with raw analog culture.
Alongside high-energy battle sets across Switzerland, he hosts his own monthly live show, "The Realness," on Jam On Radio (every first Friday, 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM CET). The broadcast is a tribute to hip-hop craftsmanship, featuring cross-genre selections, technical turntablism routines, the Sample Time segment (flipping original source material against hip-hop classics), and Back the Wax—an all-vinyl showcase highlighting crate-dug rarities and underground deep cuts.
His technical dedication extends straight from the turntables to the soldering iron. In 2026, he engineered a custom analog DIY lo-fi sampler, earning the top Gold distinction ("Outstanding") at the Swiss Youth in Science (Schweizer Jugend forscht) national competition and an official selection to represent Switzerland at the international MOSTRATEC science fair in Brazil. Whether on the airwaves, behind the wheels of steel, or in the lab, the focus remains pure: dedication to the craft and culture.

The new single "Plenty" will be released on April 3rd, 2026! An analog chant, bathed in synthesizers and "chorused" guitars.
Written in a remote eco-village, "Plenty" is a journey that redefines abundance beyond wealth. Inspired by the simplicity of cabin life and a deep connection to nature, the track weaves together ethereal and introspective waves. It questions our fear of the unknown while celebrating life’s "little gems": nature, the air, and the stars.
After a three-year silent retreat in the heart of the Ariège Pyrenees—a deep immersion embracing ancient trees between a yurt and a bungalow—Concrete Jane emerges from the forest with a new sonic horizon.
Following the DIY folk purity of the EP Sole Mio (2021), the album "organic" (slated for release in summer 2026) marks a bold evolution. While the acoustic roots remain, they now step back to make room for a more electronic dimension, where synthesizers and analog warmth take center stage.
Composed in the deep woods (the sylva), this record is a sensory logbook—a journey woven with ethereal waves and introspective reflections. Carried by a "Lennonian" voice processed through a Leslie speaker, the album explores our reconnection to the living world and redefines what true wealth means: from the immaterial abundance of "Plenty" to the nuances of our shadows ("Bipolar"), passing through the salty sweetness of love ("August 3rd", "Iode") and the breathless exhaustion of "Burn Out".

"SimonTRYtoCRY" has been the alias of singer and guitarist Simon Good—originally from Sargans and now based in Lucerne—since 2023. Acting within the post-punk genre, "simonTRYtoCRY" has played 14 shows over the past three years in cities including Lucerne, Zurich, Baden, Brugg, Chur, and Bad Ragaz—most recently on September 13 alongside "Tomorrows Ghost" and the K-goth band "Past-Self."
Rather than acting as the voice of a generation, the band serves primarily as a voice for himself; together with bassist Lars Gwendolin Good, singer and guitarist Simon Good crafts the "simonTRYtoCRY" sound—a sound somewhere between the final stages of genre-definitions and individualism, blending post-punk, goth-pop, blackgaze, and emo-rap.
"Exhaustion" is a track from 'I Hope This (Doesn’t) Hurt Part I', the debut EP by "simonTRYtoCRY" scheduled for release in November 2026. Described by the artist as a "pre-break-up song," "Exhaustion" deals with the destructive thoughts that intensify as a romantic relationship nears its end.

# Angelo Ticli
## The Return of Italian Rock: Fire, Resilience, and Rebirth
Some artists follow trends. Others keep moving forward without ever losing sight of who they are. Angelo Ticli belongs to the second group.
An Italian-Swiss singer-songwriter, vocalist, guitarist, and bassist, Ticli carries two places in his soul: Lausanne, Switzerland, where he was born, and Grammichele, Sicily, where his family roots run deep.
For more than forty years, music has been the soundtrack to every chapter of his life. It has become his language, his refuge, and his way of turning personal wounds into creative energy. His sound brings together the raw power of American and British hard rock with the melodic elegance of Italian songwriting, driven by real emotions, life-changing encounters, and stories he has actually lived.
Influenced by iconic bands such as Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy, Skid Row, and Guns N’ Roses, Ticli has never been interested in simply recreating the music of his heroes. He draws from their intensity, guitar-driven energy, and instinct for unforgettable melodies while shaping a voice that is unmistakably his own: passionate, deeply human, and undeniably Mediterranean.
His songs explore love, freedom, faith, resilience, rebirth, and second chances. Behind every track is something real—a fall, a loss, an encounter, or that unexpected moment when life decides to begin again.
## An Artistic Identity Forged Through Experience
With “Cuore di Fuoco,” “Solo l’Amore Vincerà,” and “She’s My Fire,” Angelo Ticli has created three chapters of the same story: the journey of a man who refuses to see hardship as the end and instead transforms it into strength.
“Cuore di Fuoco” marked the first major turning point in his solo career. The song held the No. 1 position for two consecutive weeks on the Top Sound chart of MEI – European Indie Music Network, establishing Ticli as an emerging force on the independent Italian rock scene.
The track introduced the defining elements of his musical identity: melodic, direct, emotionally honest rock that balances power with vulnerability. Fire became one of the central images in his songwriting—a symbol of passion, survival, and the inner light that keeps burning when everything else seems lost.
Recorded at DPoT Recording Arts in Prato under the direction of Fabrizio Simoncioni, “Cuore di Fuoco” also features Daniele “Barny” Bagni, the celebrated former Litfiba bassist and one of the defining figures of Italian rock.
Bagni’s powerful, instantly recognizable playing gives the track added depth and unmistakable rock ’n’ roll energy. Their collaboration became one of the most important artistic encounters of Ticli’s career and helped turn “Cuore di Fuoco” into a cornerstone of his body of work.
## The Breakthrough of “Solo l’Amore Vincerà”
With “Solo l’Amore Vincerà,” Angelo Ticli reached another major milestone. The song climbed to No. 1 on the international Indie Music Like chart while also taking the top spot in rankings dedicated to Italian rock and emerging artists.
That triple achievement confirmed the momentum of an artist whose music was beginning to resonate beyond national borders. Building on the success of “Cuore di Fuoco,” it firmly positioned Ticli among the most compelling voices in Italy’s independent rock scene.
At the heart of “Solo l’Amore Vincerà” is a simple but powerful belief: love is not a weakness. It can become an act of resistance—a force strong enough to face pain, fear, and those moments when the future seems to disappear.
The song gains an especially intimate dimension through Maria Covello, who performs both the piano parts and backing vocals. Her sensitivity, musical elegance, and emotional honesty bring a rare sense of vulnerability, hope, and rebirth to the track.
Ticli’s journey and artistic philosophy have also caught the attention of the Italian national press. *Il Messaggero* featured him in a profile titled [“Angelo Ticli, il ritorno del rock italiano”](https://www.ilmessaggero.it/schede/angelo_ticli_cantante_rock_italiano_solo_amore_vincera-9722861.html), highlighting an artist who is putting guitars, real emotion, and lived experience back at the center of rock music.
## “She’s My Fire”: Aiming Beyond Borders
Released on September 1, 2026, “She’s My Fire” carried that momentum forward. Shortly after its release, the single made a strong debut among the most-played rock tracks on Italian radio. Together with “Solo l’Amore Vincerà,” it gave Ticli two simultaneous entries in the Top 10 of the country’s most-played rock songs.
For the first time, Angelo chose to perform an entire song in English. It was more than a change of language—it was a deliberate move toward an international audience. The language may be different and the horizon broader, but the heart of the music remains the same: powerful melodic rock built around genuine emotion.
“She’s My Fire” tells the story of an encounter capable of changing the course of a life. Its protagonist is a man marked by setbacks and disappointment who, through the love of a woman, rediscovers the courage to love, the strength to believe, and the desire to start over.
The past does not disappear, but it no longer carries the same weight. Instead, it becomes the place from which a new life can begin.
“‘She’s My Fire’ was born from real emotions,” Ticli explains. “It’s about the kind of encounter that can change the direction of your life. It isn’t simply a love song—it’s a story of rebirth, strength, and second chances.”
Produced by Black Volt Production, the single is accompanied by a music video created by YMZPLCOM – Yakkay. The visuals expand on the song’s central theme: the possibility of finding light again, even when it feels as though every opportunity has already passed.
## International Finalist at Sanremo Rock 2026
In 2026, Angelo Ticli also reached one of the most iconic stages in Italian music. Selected to represent Switzerland in the international division of the Sanremo Rock & Trend Festival, he was officially named one of the international finalists invited to perform at the legendary Teatro Ariston.
Alongside artists from the United Kingdom, Slovenia, Belgium, Malta, Poland, France, and the Netherlands, Ticli took part in the national finals held in Sanremo on September 11 and 12, 2026.
For a musician born in Switzerland and deeply connected to his Italian roots, the achievement carried special meaning. Stepping onto the Teatro Ariston stage was about more than competing in a festival. It represented the meeting point between his two identities, decades of dedication, and his determination to take his music beyond borders.
His selection as one of the international artists in the 2026 edition was [officially announced by the Sanremo Rock & Trend Festival](https://www.sanremorock.it/sanremo-rock-trend-festival-2026-annunciati-i-vincitori-della-sezione-internazionale-verso-lariston/).
## Music Built on Excellence
To give his songs the professional and international scope they deserve, Angelo Ticli has surrounded himself with acclaimed producers, engineers, and musicians. These collaborations are not about prestige for its own sake. They reflect his desire to work with artists who combine technical excellence, emotional sensitivity, and genuine human connection.
One of the most important figures in his journey is Fabrizio Simoncioni, an internationally respected engineer, producer, musician, and arranger. A historic figure in Italian rock, Simoncioni has worked with Litfiba, Ligabue, Negrita, and numerous other Italian and international artists.
With dozens of platinum records, more than one hundred gold records, and a Latin Grammy nomination to his name, Simoncioni brings a level of experience and creative discipline that has helped shape some of Italian rock’s most enduring music. Under his experienced and demanding direction, Ticli recorded “Cuore di Fuoco” at DPoT Recording Arts in Prato.
What began as a professional collaboration soon became something more meaningful. The two men developed a relationship built on trust, mutual respect, and a shared belief that music must remain alive, honest, and profoundly human.
Ticli has also worked with Matteo “Zola” Nicollai, a sound engineer closely connected to the world of Litfiba, whose technical expertise and extensive live experience are deeply rooted in the tradition of great Italian rock.
## Serge Fernex and the Search for the Right Emotion
Another essential figure in Ticli’s artistic journey is Serge Fernex, a sound engineer and artistic director known for his deep musical knowledge and rare emotional sensitivity.
Over the course of his career, Fernex has worked with international figures including Phil Collins and legendary producer Trevor Horn. At Studios du Régent in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, he has guided Ticli through an ongoing search for honesty, depth, and emotional precision.
His role goes far beyond recording instruments. Fernex looks for the story behind each song and works to preserve the human truth that gave birth to it.
The instrumental tracks for “She’s My Fire” were recorded under his direction at Studios du Régent. The lineup featured Angela Massafra and Giuseppe Scarpato on guitars, Pierluigi Mingotti on bass, Ivano Zanotti on drums, Giuseppe De Marco on keyboards, and Emanuel Ciancia on saxophone.
## Alessandro Del Vecchio: The International Edge
For vocals, mixing, and mastering, Angelo Ticli works with Alessandro Del Vecchio at Ivorytears Music Works Studio in Somma Lombardo.
An internationally recognized producer, songwriter, vocalist, and keyboardist, Del Vecchio is one of the most respected figures in hard rock and melodic rock. His precision, artistic vision, and generosity have helped give Ticli’s songs a powerful, modern, and immediately recognizable sound.
Del Vecchio also contributes backing vocals to “She’s My Fire,” adding another layer to the song’s melodic impact and helping shape a production designed to cross borders without sacrificing its soul.
## Musicians in Service of the Song
Angelo Ticli has had the honor of performing and recording with Giuseppe Scarpato, the lead guitarist, arranger, and longtime producer associated with Edoardo Bennato. His touch, experience, and ability to make every note speak bring exceptional depth to the music.
On guitar, Ticli also collaborates with Angela Massafra. Precise, passionate, and deeply expressive, she brings together rock power, melodic elegance, and emotional sensitivity. Her presence has become an important part of the sonic and visual identity of Ticli’s productions.
He has also shared the stage with Antonello D’Urso, an accomplished guitarist, arranger, and programmer who has worked with Vasco Rossi, Luca Carboni, Franco Battiato, Alice, and Angelo Branduardi. His versatility, experience, and musical knowledge make him an especially valuable collaborator.
Daniele “Barny” Bagni holds an important place among Ticli’s musical partners. The historic Litfiba bassist played on “Cuore di Fuoco,” bringing his powerful, deep, and instantly recognizable sound to the track.
Ticli has also performed with Andrea Torresani, bassist for Vasco Rossi. A musician with exceptional command, groove, and stage presence, Torresani gives every performance a powerful foundation.
Pierluigi Mingotti is another key collaborator. The internationally acclaimed bassist has performed with Loredana Bertè and the renowned trio Il Volo, as well as Francesco Guccini, Gianni Morandi, Mario Biondi, and Fiorella Mannoia. His experience, musical elegance, and precision give Ticli’s songs a rhythm section that is both powerful and refined.
On drums, Ticli collaborates with Ivano Zanotti, a musician known for his power, precision, and exceptional musicality. Zanotti has performed alongside Luciano Ligabue and Loredana Bertè, also serving as Bertè’s musical director. His résumé includes collaborations with Federico Poggipollini, Maurizio Solieri, Eugenio Finardi, Alan Sorrenti, and Anna Oxa.
His experience and explosive playing bring an unmistakable rock energy to Ticli’s productions.
Ticli has also recorded with Christian Tabita, a professional drummer specializing in hard rock and heavy metal and a member of Nastyville. His powerful, hard-hitting style left its mark on the recording sessions at DPoT Recording Arts in Prato.
On keyboards, Giuseppe De Marco holds a unique place in Ticli’s story. A childhood friend, he has shared nearly thirty years of music, trust, and passion with Angelo. His melodic instincts, sensitivity, and deep understanding of Ticli’s musical world enrich every arrangement.
On saxophone, Emanuel Ciancia—known as “Mr. Hollywood”—adds a warm, expressive, and instantly identifiable color. His instinctive playing creates an unexpected dialogue between rock, blues, and more contemporary textures.
Maria Covello also holds an important place in Angelo Ticli’s musical world. On “Solo l’Amore Vincerà,” she performs both the piano parts and backing vocals. Her presence gives the song an intimate and deeply human dimension, with the delicacy of her piano and the warmth of her voice reinforcing its message of love, hope, and rebirth.
## Dreams Don’t Have an Expiration Date
Behind the chart success, legendary studios, Teatro Ariston, and international collaborations is the story of a man who never stopped believing in music.
Angelo Ticli’s journey was not built on the illusion of overnight success. It was shaped over time through persistence, life-changing encounters, and the determination to keep moving forward through every setback. Each new song marks another stop on a road connecting Lausanne to Sicily, Prato to Crans-Montana, Somma Lombardo to Sanremo—and now Italy to an international audience.
With “Cuore di Fuoco,” “Solo l’Amore Vincerà,” and “She’s My Fire,” Ticli has established a signature sound: powerful melodic rock that is never afraid to reveal its vulnerability.
His music speaks about wounds without becoming trapped inside them. It looks back at the past without becoming its prisoner. It reminds us that a person can fall, lose every certainty, and still find the strength to love, dream, and begin again.
That may be the defining quality of Angelo Ticli: his ability to turn rock into more than music—to make it a way of resisting, surviving, and staying alive.
One belief captures his journey better than any other: dreams don’t have an expiration date, hardship can become strength, and love—against all odds—remains the greatest victory of all.

Somewhere between dying houseplants and screaming at walls out of regret, Noah Parks finds songs that somehow make everyone sing along.
Born in 1998 and raised in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, Parks took a winding path to music: a computer science degree he didn’t finish, a stretch working as a videographer, and a near-miss with a teaching career before landing at art school and giving himself the time to become a singer, songwriter and producer. His 2025 debut, SPOT, recorded with producer Philipp Treyer in Baden, was a ten-song account of everything unresolved about becoming an adult, centered around Parks’ crystal-clear, direct voice and catchy, clever indie-pop productions that occasionally venture deep into other genres. The album earned him SRF 3’s “Best Talent” title, sixteen weeks of daily national radio rotation for lead single “Something to Feel,” festival slots at Stars in Town, Moon & Stars and Luzern Live, and a quarter-million streams — a remarkable first outing for an artist who was, by his own account, still figuring out what he wanted to say.
His next chapter, arriving with the single “Fucking It Up,” sounds like an artist who knows exactly what he wants to say and has decided to say it himself. It’s Parks’ first release as sole producer, written and recorded in a basement studio in Winterthur with friends and musical collaborators. A heavy groove, jangly guitars, an unexpected key change and a cathartic chorus set a new tone, built for a live crowd to scream their lungs out together. Parks calls it “a hymn for people who crash into the only tree in a wide open field.”
