From the vibrant energy of the 2000s to the maturity of today's House scene, ER-V embodies a passionate journey. A craftsman of the night and a champion of sharing, he has navigated the decades with undiminished curiosity and a resolutely collective vision.
It all began in 2001 in Montreux. At the Mayfair Café, ER-V cut his teeth organizing his own Trance parties. Very quickly, the lure of the turntables became irresistible. In 2002, he moved behind the decks under the alias Askado, learning the trade through practice and direct interaction with the crowds at his own events.
In 2004, he founded the Vibration Events collective. This role as an organizer gave him a comprehensive understanding of the party scene, which he put into practice during his first significant bookings. Between 2005 and 2006, he took his energy to the Parloir at the MAD in Lausanne, as well as to several regional clubs. This period, marked by the power of Hardstyle, forged his technique and his ability to command a dance floor.
It was in 2006 that a decisive shift towards House Music occurred. ER-V didn't explore this new direction alone. Passionate about technique and the search for "the right sound," he experienced this period largely as part of a duo, collaborating with equally demanding DJ friends. This dynamic of sharing and camaraderie behind the decks enriched his selection and refined his ear. Together, they made their mark on the local scene:
Prestige Sets: Several opening sets on the intimate stages of the Montreux Jazz Festival, as well as the "Before" sets for the famous Love Boats and numerous gigs in Lausanne bars.
Revival: In 2011, he revitalized the Vibration Events collective, exploring House and EDM through multiple regional events.
2026: The ER-V Rebirth
Today, ER-V is the culmination of over 20 years of musical experience. After exploring sonic extremes and forging numerous collaborations, he returns with a refined identity and a discerning selection of tracks. This new chapter is a logical evolution: drawing on his extensive experience and a club culture forged through shared passion, ER-V now offers narrative, precise sets where emotion and technical skill converge to ignite the dance floor.
