Marianna Cleo is an independent singer and songwriter based in Zürich, blending R&B vocals, jazz-soul textures, and rap. She started making music as a kid and officially began releasing tracks in 2025. For Marianna, the goal is straightforward: write songs that make people feel seen, heard, and understood the same way her favorite records always did for her.

Influenced by artists like Rihanna, Jorja Smith, FKA twigs and Snoh Aalegra, she handles her own releases and creative direction. Her track "Oregano To My Soul" grew organically to over 7,000 streams through TikTok, other tracks like "Back It Up" picked up Spotify playlist adds, and got spun on Radio 4 TNG. On stage, she played Sofar Sounds in March 2026 and is performing at Apollo Kreuzlingen for Bandxost on October 3. She just dropped her newest single, a rap-driven track called "Spend Up," on October 2, 2026, leading into her new era. Experimental and bold. Just like Marianna Cleo.

Im Oktober 2026 veröffentlichte LEA ihre aktuelle EP «LOSING GAME». Mit eingängigen Pop-Songs wie «BRIDGES» und «LOSING GAME» startete die Newcomerin eine neue Ära. Mit ihrer Loopstation zeigt sie ihr musikalisches Können als «One-Womanshow» auf der Bühne. 2025 war die Sarganserin auf Tour mit Marius Bear und spielte unteranderem im Kaufleuten Zürich und mit ihrer eigenen Band schon auf bekannten Bühnen wie Moon+Stars und OpenAir St. Gallen.

Maik Zosso ist Sänger, Songwriter und Schauspieler mit Sensler Wurzeln. Seine Texte erzählen vom Leben in all seinen Facetten. Vom Schönen und Leichten genauso wie von den dunklen Momenten, von Begegnungen, Gefühlen und den kleinen Dingen, die manchmal einen grossen Unterschied machen.

Musikalisch bewegt er sich zwischen Pop, Mundart und Musiktheater. In seinen Songs muss nicht immer alles gut sein. Es darf leicht, traurig, laut, verletzlich, hoffnungsvoll oder dunkel sein. Maik möchte mit seiner Stimme zeigen, dass all diese Facetten zum Leben gehören und ihren Platz haben dürfen.

Mit «Hey, Das Läbe Du» singt Maik Zosso 2026 erstmals einen eigenen Solosong in Senslerdeutsch, dem Dialekt, mit dem er aufgewachsen ist. Gleichzeitig entsteht mit «CHEZ MOI» ein autobiografisch inspiriertes Musical und Herzensprojekt, in dem Musik, Theater und persönliche Geschichten zusammenfinden.

Neben seiner eigenen künstlerischen Arbeit ist Maik seit vielen Jahren als Vocalcoach tätig und begleitet Menschen dabei, ihre eigene Stimme zu entdecken und weiterzuentwickeln.

YoPhilly
YoPhilly ist ein Musikproduzent aus der Schweiz, der sich nicht auf ein Genre festlegt. Zwischen Hip-Hop, Trap, Drill und Hardwave verbindet er druckvolle Bässe mit melodischen Hooks und emotionalen Momenten. Seine Musik reicht von energiegeladenen Club-Tracks bis zu persönlichen Songs über Liebe, Schmerz und Zusammenhalt.
Dabei verbindet er eigene Kreativität mit künstlicher Intelligenz: YoPhilly nutzt KI zur Erstellung von Musik und produziert auch eigene Beats, die er mithilfe von KI weiterentwickelt und klanglich poliert. Experimentieren, neue Ideen ausprobieren und Sounds verfeinern gehören für ihn zum kreativen Prozess. Die musikalische Richtung und die Auswahl dessen, was am Ende im Track bleibt, bestimmt er selbst.
Nicht jeder Song muss gleich klingen – aber jeder soll etwas auslösen. Ob schwere Bässe oder eine Melodie, die hängen bleibt: YoPhilly macht Musik für Momente, die man nicht nur hört, sondern fühlt.
«Philly Make That Bass Drop.»

Made in Zurich; the tracks were created "freestyle" during after-work sessions. Thanks for listening. Lyrics and melodies performed by Marcel Sorrentino; no AI or software was used.

COILGUNS (est. 2011) in short

Initially coming from the DIY hardcore scene, Coilguns have crafted since then their very own blend of punk and ecstatic noise-rock. They are known for their raw, uncompromising and euphoric live performances, proudly serving the dancing freaks and the crowd-surfing weirdos.

The band history is deeply bound to the development of guitarist Jona Nido’s own label – Humus Records – that now gathers up to 170 releases from Swiss artists of all sonic horizons. Though most of their first albums were 100% self-produced, engineered and mixed by the band members, Coilguns drove in the summer of 2022 to end-of-the-world’s Oceansound Recordings in Norway with producer Scott Evans to track their fourth studio album, later mixed by Grammy-nominated producer Tom Dalgety. Released in November 2024, the album marked a turning point for the band and led to their most extensive touring cycle to date, with over 85 shows played worldwide in 2025.

Stoked by this unexpected exposure, the band couldn’t wait to write and record a fifth album, and managed to sneak it in between tours. These new tracks were mixed again by Tom Dalgety (Ghost, Pixies, Royal Blood, Tiger Cub) and recorded by Scott Evans (Thrice, La Dispute, Neurosis), but this time the American engineer flew to Switzerland to track the band in their hometown. Recording took place right after their first Mexican tour, at the headquarters of their own record label – Humus Records – an old warehouse packed with vintage gear in the city center of La Chaux-de-Fonds. To make sure not to miss any opportunity the songs could offer, the band also asked Ben Chisholm (Chelsea Wolfe, The Armed) to contribute to the whole with some overdubs and additional production. After releasing two singles this spring, Peace Trader and Carbon Magic, Coilguns now unveils a third single, Everything We Love, We Destroy, the title track of the band's fifth studio album. The single will be released on September 11th, while the full album Everything We Love, We Destroy will officially follow on November 6th, 2026.

Sheldon San Kalki is a Swiss musician born in Geneva in 1962, hailing from a family of both amateur and professional musicians. Despite a genetic arm condition (Madelung's deformity) that prevents him from playing instruments with necks—such as guitar, bass, violin, or saxophone—he developed a piano and keyboard style rooted in improvisation, adapting to the fact that virtuosic left-hand playing was not an option for him. Consequently, after training in rhythm and body movement at the Institut Jacques-Dalcroze, struggling to learn the recorder, and studying music theory and classical piano for five years with his aunt Mariette Félix, he turned to jazz, blues, funk, pop, and rock, and later to popular music and piano-bar standards. Sheldon San Kalki has accompanied numerous singers and performed with various orchestras and bands from 1975 to the present, including the *Orchestre du Cycle d'Orientation*; the *Choeur du Collège Voltaire* (performing Monteverdi’s *L'Orfeo* and Mozart’s *Requiem* at Victoria Hall in 1978); the funk-rock group "LO TZE"; Bernie Constantin’s band; singer Brian McCombe; Jesús Garcia’s *Génération* orchestra; and singers Aline Chalifoux, Fabienne Palasciano, and Katy Leander. He has also performed solo as a pianist for bars and dance events in numerous luxury hotels and restaurants across Switzerland and Europe. After completing an apprenticeship as a bookseller at Naville, he went on to train as a specialist musical instrument salesperson and retail employee at Bernard Musique—the renowned musical instrument and sound equipment store visited by every show-business celebrity passing through Geneva.

The Story

It all started with the Solothurn party band FOR SALE, which performed regularly in smaller clubs and at parties in the region from 1989 to 2000. In addition to covers, more and more original songs were added to their repertoire.

***
After 2000, FOR SALE evolved into the band THE GREEN CHEESE.
Now, a record has finally been released, documenting the success achieved with FOR SALE, and is available as a maxi-CD.
Unfortunately, this group disbanded soon after.

***
After further band projects over the past 20 years, most recently with the dialect band HUUSMEISCHTER, three of the original members revived the band FOR SALE in 2021.

***
With Mänu on vocals, Ringgu on guitar, and Säschu on keyboards, the new lineup was soon complete.

Mein Name ist Heinz, und meine musikalische Reise begann bereits mit sechs Jahren. Zuerst spielte ich Blockflöte, gefolgt von einer klassischen Ausbildung in Musiktheorie und verschiedenen Instrumenten. Ich begann mit der Trompete, wechselte dann zur Zugposaune, dem Schlagzeug und dem Keyboard. Diese frühen Erfahrungen legten den Grundstein für meine heutige Leidenschaft. Über viele Jahre hinweg war ich in verschiedenen Musikgruppen aktiv – von einer traditionellen Musikgesellschaft über Tanzbands bis hin zu einer Countryband und als One-Man-Band. Heute habe ich meine Leidenschaft der Musikproduktion verschrieben und kreiere vielseitige Klänge, die von Country und Pop über Schlager und Reggae bis hin zu mitreissender Disco-Musik reichen. Vielseitige Musik gefällt mir am besten.

Lausanne-based artist Robin Wave creates queer, sensual and unconventional electronic pop, turning desire, the body, social norms and contradictions into song material. His world blends humour, vulnerability, provocation and camp aesthetics, without choosing between lightness and depth.

After releasing his debut EP, "Cycles", in 2023, Robin Wave is now opening a new chapter in his artistic journey. His new songs explore desire, sexuality, identity and the mechanisms of judgement surrounding bodies and behaviour more directly. From "Animal" to "Gratuit", he transforms intimate experiences into songs that also speak of freedom, healing and reclaiming oneself.
