This is Bitter Moon, a Cosmic Tropical pop duo composed of Simon and Réka, terrestrially-bound to the Swiss cities of Lugano and Zürich.

Coilguns is sure to crack your skull with their blend of noise and hardcore punk.

Born in Abidjan from an Italian father and an Ivorian mother, KT spent most of her childhood in the Ivory Coast. At 11 she arrived in Switzerland and jumped into old-school hip hop with The Fugees, Notorious B.I.G. and Wu-Tang Clan. Later KT started expressing herself over rap instrumentals, and at 21 she became the first female ‘World Champion’ in hip hop competition ‘End of the Weak’ in New York. It was on her return home that local hip hop fans began calling her KT Gorique.

She is still quite unknown even in the Swiss music scene. But recently, the young artiste La Colère took a major step forward towards a bright future: for “Surface”, her ambient-meets- trip-hop-meets-electro debut EP, she received a coveted Swiss Demotape Clinic Award.

This Swiss five-piece originally set out to write an Ibiza hit for fun. And they succeeded! ‘Long Days, Hot Nights’ lead to a string of BBC Radio 1-supported hits, garnering over 20 million listens. Later the Sirens of Lesbos realised this direction didn’t represent the true heart of the group. They further developed their multicultural, multi-faceted sound, launching their label with single ‘We’ll Be Fine’ in 2018. In 2019 the band made its live debut.

They are a perfect match: Sophie Hunger is by far the most successful Swiss artiste. With her intelligent pop songs, the singer-songwriter has made a name for herself far beyond the borders of Switzerland. Julian Sartorius is a tremendously capable drummer and percussionist.

In the quiet remoteness of her home recording studio, Veronica Fusaro developed her characteristic soul pop sound and the bluntness of her songs.
