TOSCA – Songs from Zurich, recorded in Nashville

TOSCA is an 18-year-old singer-songwriter from Zurich, Switzerland. She writes with warmth, a clear eye for human contradictions and a sense of humour that includes herself. Her songs explore closeness, freedom and the stories we tell ourselves, with empathy and a playful sense of self-irony.

During her school years, TOSCA was mentored by a British musician who introduced her to different approaches to songwriting. Together, they spent hours in the studio trying out ideas, taking them apart and putting them back together. Above all, he encouraged her to trust her own judgement. That experience continues to shape the independence she brings to her music today.

In August 2026, TOSCA recorded six original songs in Nashville with producer Eli Beaird and his band. There, she found a way of working that suited her: direct, focused and with plenty of room for making music together.

Today, she develops her music in her own way and chooses her collaborators thoughtfully. Her releases appear independently through TOSCA Music GmbH.

Her debut single, “Sun God”, arrives on October 23, 2026. The warm-sounding pop song playfully turns a fleeting summer encounter into something mythical, with a knowing smile at closeness, freedom and our own contradictions.

Alongside music, TOSCA studies business administration and takes an interest in ethical questions. Both reflect her curiosity about people, decisions and the directions a life can take.

The Zurich-based band emerged 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 playing a heavier sound than usual. The dust has settled, yet the foundation remains; building upon it, Donalds of Horror are constructing a new rock cathedral, with ornamentation and guardian spirits reminiscent of Joy Division, Bauhaus, the Dead Kennedys, and Metallica.

Donalds of Horror Info -
(The Circle Brothers) have accompanied various rock bands over the last twenty years, including Young Gods in the Rote Fabrik (Zurich), The Fall in the Salzhaus (Winterthur) and The Walkmen in the Mascotte (Zurich), including appearances in the Fri-Son (Freiburg) and other clubs in Switzerland.
So Donalds of Horror are now looking for upcoming gigs with twenty songs under their belt.

Entirely self-taught and a multi-instrumentalist, he has been composing since his early youth, always with the desire to play alongside other musicians. But a four-track cassette recorder back in the 1980s infected him with the bug of making music on his own. After all, writers and painters create their works alone too, don't they?

Nevertheless, as he approaches sixty, still full of energy and vitality, he hopes to one day find the long-term musical companions he needs to bring his own musical universe to the stage.

A world that moves between intimate piano-driven songs and vintage guitar rock inspired by Pink Floyd and Neil Young, with all sorts of blends and crossovers somewhere in between …

One could say that the common thread running through all of this is his unusual, original, poetic and distinctly personal way of writing in French …

Caméléon est un groupe musical basé à Lausanne, né de la rencontre entre Yukari Curty, Daniel Vera et Felipe Román Lozano. Depuis un an, le trio développe un univers musical singulier, nourri par la diversité de ses parcours, de ses cultures et de ses sensibilités artistiques. À la croisée des musiques du monde, le groupe mêle la joie et l’énergie des rythmes latino-américains à la liberté du jazz, à la douceur de la bossa nova et à la poésie de la chanson française. La musique de Caméléon puise également dans la profondeur spirituelle des traditions musicales mexicaines, où le chant, le rythme et la mémoire collective deviennent des espaces de rencontre et de partage. Les compositions originales de Daniel Vera, musicien et compositeur mexicain, apportent une dimension intime et expressive au répertoire, tandis que la guitare, la basse et la voix tissent des liens entre les traditions et les sensibilités contemporaines. Flûtiste et compositrice reconnue sur les scènes internationales, Yukari Curty apporte au groupe son expérience du jazz, de l’improvisation et de la musique contemporaine, ainsi qu’une approche sensible du son nourrie par son parcours dans l’exploration musicale et thérapeutique. Sa flûte ouvre des espaces de respiration, d’écoute et de liberté, donnant à la musique une dimension méditative et profondément humaine. Felipe Román Lozano, percussionniste colombien, enrichit cet univers de sa connaissance des traditions rythmiques latino-américaines et africaines, développée au fil de collaborations musicales en Colombie, en Italie, Suisse et Burkina Faso. Ses percussions donnent au groupe son énergie organique, sa pulsation et son ancrage dans les musiques de transmission orale. Entre compositions originales, improvisations et réinterprétations, Caméléon cultive une musique vivante, chaleureuse et en constante transformation, fidèle à son nom. Le trio invite le public à un voyage sonore où les frontières entre les genres s'effacent au profit de l'émotion, de la spontanéité et de la rencontre. Plus qu'un simple mélange de styles, sa démarche cherche à créer des moments de connexion entre les cultures, les corps et les sensibilités, faisant de chaque concert une expérience de partage, de joie et de bien-être.

Naima Nutella nimmt mit auf den Spielplatz ihres Lebens und in die Tiefen ihrer komplexen Gefühlswelt. Für die Singer-Songwriterin mit Akkordeon ist die Musik Sprache und Emotionsventil zugleich. Ihre mundartistischen Texte klingen so wie sie denkt, mal ironisch schalkig, dann wieder verzaubernd poetisch und oft sehr direkt. Piratinnen segeln vorbei – genauso wie verpasste Liebesgeschichten.
Ihr Akkordeon lässt in melancholischen Tiefen versinken und verträumt abheben. Indie-Intimität verschmilzt mit vagabundistischer Mundartpoesie.
Im Mai 2026 erschien ihr Debütalbum «De Spielplatz vom Läbe», das diese poetische Reise zwischen Aufbruch, Verletzlichkeit und Leichtigkeit einfängt.

At the crossroads of the organic and the electronic, Kashmire For Goliath crafts a mystical, hypnotic soundscape suspended between deep shadows and spectral light.

At the heart of the project, Ophélie writes, composes and sings. Shaped by a nomadic childhood spent immersed in different cultures and landscapes around the world, she began exploring folk, rock and songwriting as a teenager, guitar in hand. She developed her first compositions before bringing them to life with an indie-rock band. From this journey emerged a distinctive artistic identity, driven by instinctive songwriting and a voice both powerful and ethereal, balancing vulnerability with intensity.

In 2021, alone at a piano in the silence of a small chapel, she composed the first pieces of a more stripped-back, almost incantatory sound world. She joined forces with Marc, a multi-instrumentalist whose electronic textures and organic rhythms shape an immersive, lunar soundscape.

In 2026, Ruppi joins the project on drums, bringing a new physical and organic dimension to the trio. Together, they are preparing their debut live show, set to premiere in 2027.

Wild yet contemplative, earthly yet celestial, Kashmire For Goliath unfolds a timeless sonic landscape where eras blur and dissolve into one another. A singular universe suspended between ancestral memory and futuristic visions.

EDKUB, founded in 2018 by Swiss composer, producer and bass player Fred Sumi,
bridges Cuban and electronic music, with a jazz spirit. It is the fruit of a friendship and collaboration with famous Cuban musicians during several recording sessions in Havana.

Since his first visit to Cuba in 1995, Fred Sumi has been passionate about Cuban music. EDKUB arose from his love for Cuban grooves, which he produces with warm electronic sounds, using his keyboards and bass. Together, they create a unique fusion, rooted in Cuban heritage while embracing the electronic sounds of today, blending electronic textures, organic instruments, vocals and improvisation.

The band is made up of brothers Yassell and Raysel Sotomayor, whose vocals carry distinct Afro-Cuban accents, and Marbis Manzanet, with her deep, intense voice. Maykel Garcia Gonzalez (piano, keyboards) current pianist of the legendary Cuban band Los Van Van, Duniesky Barreto (congas), Eduardo Bringuez Ayarde (trumpet), all three former members of the famous Cuban band Pupy y Los que Son Son, and Roicel Riveron (drums and timbal) former member of the famous Cuban band Manolito y su Trabuco.

Following YAYA (2022) and COLOR DE ROSAS (2025), EDKUB returns with ECLIPSE DEL TIEMPO, the project’s third album, scheduled for release in March 2027. In this new album, EDKUB expands on its fusion of Cuban rhythms and electronic textures through various Cuban styles, such as rumba-jazz, timba and changüi, as well as through more urban and contemporary forms.

​Since the beginning of EDKUB, Jack El Calvo, famous Cuban music DJ based in Paris, has been supporting the project. He selected the first single KEY JAM as the generic of his mixes on social networks during the confinement in 2020,

The Taoist Tape
Hip-Hop Taoists is a musical project by beatmaker Home Taping and lyricist Mans1—two enthusiasts of music, martial arts, botany, and ancient Chinese texts.

Following their self-titled debut album—a mystical release from 2019—Hip-Hop Taoists return with *The Taoist Tape*, a project crafted to feel like a cassette unearthed in an esoteric shop.

Across two sides comprising eleven diamond-cut tracks, the duo reveals the alchemical mystery connecting a beatmaker and an MC; each expresses, in their own way, their understanding of the Tao and the turbulent currents of a life deeply felt.

Medicinal rap for the discerning listener—stardust and dragon balm—this is *The Taoist Tape*.

Born between Lausanne and Neuchâtel in Switzerland, the musical project of Gil Terra and Julien Godinat explores existential and emotional themes, often infused with irreverent humor.
