The Flow

**M.O.S.I. — Dark music for bright screens and uncertain times.**

M.O.S.I. is the solo project of Swiss music producer Steve Mosimann. Under the banner of *Future Dark Pop*, he blends melancholic melodies, electronic beats and cinematic soundscapes with influences from trip-hop, industrial, darkwave and psychedelic electronic music.

Exploring themes of societal decay, technological control, alienation and the fragile nature of human identity, M.O.S.I. creates a soundtrack for a world caught between progress and collapse.

Dark, atmospheric and experimental, yet melodic and accessible. Unbound by genre conventions, driven by a distinctive production identity.

**Independent. Human-led. Future-facing.**

A project by Audio Asylum Records, Switzerland.

NIM – Noise in Myself is an Italian-Swiss band, born from an idea by
guitarist and composer Enea Maina from the Lugano/Ticino region. He began
composing riffs and lyrics in the summer of 2020 and later met Martina Pedrotti, from Switzerland,
who provides vocals and plays the transverse flute.
The band has released their self-titled debut album (2022) and the concept EP “Answers…”
(2023), both on Wanikiya Record.
Following Martina’s departure in the summer of 2023, the band focused on an intensive live programme
with a new line-up. The band called a halt to their activities at the end of 2024.
In the months that followed, Enea Maina began putting together a new line-up, and the new
line-up started working on new riffs (August 2025).
The band was re-formed with the addition of soprano and vocalist Arianna Bellinaso (Aexylium),
Yuri Bordonali on bass (Ecastor) and drummer Omar Mariani (formerly of Those Furious
Flames).
The first single of NIM’s new era was released on 25 June 2026.
Noise in Myself’s alternative progressive metal sound combines evocative melodies,
powerful riffs and complex rhythms, creating a distinctive and recognisable sound. Progressive
and post-metal influences intertwine with ethereal atmospheres and references to
spiritual and ancestral sounds, alternating moments of strong emotional impact with more
introspective passages. Echoes of Tool, Leprous, Soen,
Anathema and Porcupine Tree can be heard in their musical journey, reinterpreted through an original vision.
The lyrics tackle themes linked to inner exploration, the meaning of existence, loss and
social commentary. Through references to ancient traditions, spiritual symbolism and
ideas inspired by the ancient astronaut theory, Noise in Myself construct an
imagery that invites the listener to reflect on their own origins, the present and the
deeper meaning of the human experience.

NICO AMARA is the solo darkwave / post-industrial project of experimental composer and multidisciplinary artist Nicole Fior-Greant.
Personal and unapologetically detached, her music blends minimal dark electronics and industrial textures with haunted multilingual vocals, reflecting existential and ecological questions within a space marked by absence, tension and noise.

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.

Mike Sterren ist Singer/Songwriter und macht Mundartrock mit Herz und Haltung, auf Walliserdeutsch, authentisch und direkt aus dem Oberwallis.

Aufgewachsen mit Polo Hofer und Patent Ochsner, später geprägt von Pearl Jam und Nirvana, verbindet er Schweizer Mundart-Poesie mit Einflüssen aus dem Singer/Songwriter-Genre. Von 2005 bis 2020 stand er mit seiner Mundartrockband «eppis» in weitgehend unveränderter Besetzung auf der Bühne. Die Songs stammen aus seiner Feder.

Mike Sterren schreibt auch Musik fürs Theater. Für das Baltschieder Open-Air «Ds Wilt Mandji» schrieb er bereits 2013 den «Wilte Song» und 2017 weitere Songs für die Theater-Produktion. In der Neufassung von 2026 war er erneut für die Musik verantwortlich. Die dabei neu entstandene Version des «Wilte Song» erschien als Single auf allen Musikplattformen. In der Produktion selbst stand er in der Rolle von «Joe, der Musiker» auf der Bühne.

Ein Karrierehöhepunkt war der Auftritt mit Sunrise Avenue in der Sendung «Happy Day» im Schweizer Fernsehen. Ausserdem hält er als Frontmann der Polo-Hofer-Cover-Band «Polomanie» seit 2021 das Erbe der Schweizer Mundartlegende lebendig.

Mit «Vermissu isch blöd» erschien 2020 seine erste, selbst aufgenommene Single als Singer/Songwriter auf Walliserdeutsch. Seither entstehen immer wieder neue Mundartsongs.

Ani Blue never imagined that her new single, Never Give Up would be a tribute to Bonnie Tyler. Tyler is immortalized in the first verse and was a song that always came to mind when she was a child and hoarse from singing. The song celebrates one's biggest dreams and the importance of never giving up on making them a reality. Ani sings nostalgically about her musical memories from childhood.
Release: October 16, 2026

Ani Blue, a singer-songwriter loves the color blue and enjoys creating her own world. She discovered her love of music early on and dreamed of performing on stage.

Her third singer-songwriter album was released in 2024, and she performed at Mühle Hunziken and the Der Herbst festival. Her new single, Never Give Up created in collaboration with Manfred Zazzi of Studio 571 in Zurich and the talented musicians Nik Münger, Roberto Cavalli, Oli Keller, and Lucas Schwarz, is fresh and breezy, leaving listeners wanting more.

The NoirYards est un quatuor suisse formé par Cédric Lagger, Gregor Zemp, Dominic Schnyder et Tobi Gmür. Quatre musiciens expérimentés réunis autour d’une même urgence : créer une musique brute, sombre et sans compromis.

Ancré dans l’énergie du punk, le groupe en dépasse rapidement les codes. Ici, la vitesse cède la place à la tension, la répétition devient hypnotique et les riffs, lourds et minimalistes, installent une pression qui ne retombe jamais vraiment. Une musique physique, tendue, qui avance par le groove, l’espace et le bruit.

Chez The NoirYards, rien n’est superflu. Pas d’artifice, pas de détour : des guitares saturées, une section rythmique compacte et une voix à la frontière entre urgence et retenue. Leur garage rock se construit autant sur les silences et les espaces laissés ouverts que sur ce qui est joué — instinctif dans son énergie, précis dans son exécution.

Avec un premier disque prévu pour 2026, The NoirYards capturent un groupe en pleine évolution : parti d’une énergie immédiate et viscérale pour aller vers un son plus sombre, plus dense et plus radical — sans jamais perdre la tension qui l’anime.

The world is burning, our planet is dying, social injustices are far from being overcome - so god needs therapy! She's really worried about her little playground and misses the dinosaurs so much. Do you wanna know what a therapy session with god sounds like?

God in Therapy started as a project of four flatmates who decided that working sucks and are now going to be rockstars. Hopefully. With a loud guitar and distorted vocals we play energetic garage rock with punk influences. The lyrics are telling our stories, some political, some very personal. We want to energize everyone who listens, empower everyone to be active, loud and shamelessly themselves!

He completed his professional training at the Escuela de Superación de Arte Rafael Somavilla in Matanzas. There, he developed his voice under the guidance of vocal teacher Esteban Taylor. In Cuba, Michel Valdes performed for many years in renowned ensembles such as Orquesta Tropicana, Banda Brava, Costa Latina, Grupo Tiempos, and Héctor Daniel y la Constelación .

In 2001, the collaboration with the Canarian artist Tinguaro led to a nomination for the Premios Lucas . The album Jugando con el tiempo reached 3rd place in its category.

Since settling in Switzerland, Michel Valdes has further developed his musical versatility and collaborated with various salsa and Latin music groups. In May 2025, he released his first solo album, HOY , available on all digital platforms. The album was mentioned for a nomination at the Latin Grammy Awards ( Best Tropical Album ), reached number 1 on Radio Click Latino in Cali, Colombia , and won second place at the 21st Premio Núcleo Urbano during the Feria de Cali in December 2025 .

Songwriter. Musician. Producer.

Songs are at the heart of Joe Sciacca’s music: stories of new beginnings, connection, doubt and the hope of change. Born in Zurich, the Italian-Swiss artist writes and sings in German and English. His repertoire brings together pop, rock and electronic textures.

Since his debut album «Brand New Day» (2007), he has continued to develop his music as a songwriter, singer and producer, releasing through his independent label SpareTracks.
