“Isle Of Dreams” will be the biggest electronic music event ever held in Switzerland, but what is the local scene like? Andrea Oliva tells us more…

“I think we have a great scene these days in Switzerland, but it started about 25 years ago so I don’t remember. I would have to check with Derrick May or Stacey Pullen as they told me the first gig they had outside of the USA was actually in Basel, where Isle of Dreams is. We had a great techno club called planet E with tons of raves so I’m very proud of the Swiss scene. It’s just a shame I don’t get to play there very much anymore as I am travelling a lot, but its always great to go back!”

“The clubs are different because the Swiss are super organized, there is nothing missing. The whole infrastructures are great, the sound systems. You can be assured if you play in Switzerland the sound system is always great and the organization will always be properly done.”

“Upcoming artists and djs to watch out for are definitely Jimi jules, le noir and Gianni Callipari but there are so many. There’s also Adriatic, two guys who have just signed on Solomon’s label, they’re great too. We have a lot of great artists in Switzerland that you probably wouldn’t even know were from Switzerland. When people ask I say Deetron, Ripperton, Luciano and people are like wow they are Swiss!. But definitely watch out for Le Noir and Gianni Callipari.”
