New York’s City of the Sun is a worldly, genre-bending acoustic trio based in Brooklyn, NY. Formed in 2011, COS features guitarists John Pita, and percussionist Zach Para. They honed their sound busking on the streets of New York City, then graduated to selling out major NYC venues. The group gained wider attention after performing at Ted talk conferences and Sofar Sounds secret shows.

Hive ist Zürichs Musikreaktor mit elektronischer Ausstrahlung und bietet funkensprühende Parties mit hohem Toleranzwert und null Aufwärmzeit.
Hive ist Bewegung.
Hive ist mehr als ein Club. Hive verschmelzt verschiedene Kunstpollen, würzt mit einem subversiven Schuss Kun(s)terbuntem, betört mit subkulturellen Noten.
Im Lustgarten der Veränderung
Unsere Philosphie ist Morphing Clubbing. Bedeutet konkret: Hive erspürt und setzt Trends, verändert sich organisch und treibt immer neue Blüten der Nacht. Der Name Hive (deutsch: Bienenstock) unterstreicht unseren Anspruch, Nährboden für eine lebendige, vielschichtige, alternative Musik- und Kulturszene zu sein.
Wer Hive mag
Alle, die sich in und von einer offenen Atmosphäre bewegen lassen wollen, Spass an Ausgefallenem haben und mit staunenden Augen durchs Leben tanzen.

 


Riding in with the power to deliver sunshine to world’s rainiest open-air events, Monkey Safari brings rays of light to whatever dance floors they cast their shimmering spell on. 

The past few years saw the brothers swinging to new trees, retiring their previous labels to focus on their new label 'Hommage.' It were the years of transformation for the German producers, developing and tailoring a sound suited perfectly for the unique club nuances while still keeping the core elements of melodic chords and grooves synonymous with the duos productions. 

During this time, Monkey Safari unveiled their remix for Marc Houle’s “Pepper” on Richie Hawtin’s label Minus and their hugely successful “Cranes” and “Walls“ EPs that presented opportunities for Monkey Safari to work with some exciting musicians, such as Wolf + Lamb and Kölsch, techno heavy weights Guy Gerber and Josh Wink, as well as one of dance music’s most iconic producers, Moby. 

Monkey Safari remixed a track for Moby & The Void Pacific Choir, returning the favor after Moby’s successful rework of the duo’s track “Walls” last year. Their next releases continued in the same fashion, featuring remixes from Paco Osuna, Chloé, John Digweed & Nick Muir, UNER, Guy Mantzur, Victor Ruiz and more, while signing tracks from amazing Blond:ish, legendary John Tajada, and others on their Hommage imprint. 

The duo’s efforts in the studio have transcended to their DJ sets with stand out shows at Time Warp and Awakenings Festival. On top of a heavy touring schedule at world renowned clubs and headlining slots at festivals, the duo released their album ‘Odyssey’. Monkey Safari produced the same kind of tracks for this album they were playing as they toured nightclubs and festivals around the world, rather than simply a listening album. 

In 2018 Monkey Safari carefully handpicked remixers they saw as most capable of continuing their vision for the album. The ‘Odyssey Remixes’ featured reworks of the original album tracks by the master himself, Carl Cox, international stars Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J, Musumeci, Tensnake and Reboot, studio geniuses Dubspeeka, Hannes Bieger, ROD, and Phil Moffa, as well as up-and-coming talent Avidus and Trivmph . 

Monkey Safari’s third album comes in perfect time for the summer sunshine of 2019. The duo follow up their last album, ‘Odyssey’, with this warm, inviting collection of music designed to brighten your day and complement the glorious sunny days that bless us during the summer. Sven and Lars learned some valuable lessons from their last long-player, and the new album ‘HI’ comes from a far more relaxed, easy-going place. An organic project that came together quite naturally, their third album sees the duo in high spirits ready to bring a large dose of positive vibes and emotional depth to the party. 

2020 and 2021 sees Monkey Safari moving closer to legendary brands Get Physical and Anjuna Deep, starting with a remix and a multitude of EPs on the labels. Watch out for more news soon! 

The German outfit has been on an incredible run of form with promising developments in all of their endeavors and exciting news still to come. Be it a fresh remix or EP drop, DJ set or party, Monkey Safari will be sure to touch all scopes of dance culture with no signs of deceleration on the horizon. 
Their mandate remains the same, sending sunny vibes to make even the darkest dance floors smile.

Hardly anyone can play effortlessly from one genre to the next. The styles in which Marcism feels at home seem almost inexhaustible. In addition to his great musical knowledge, the Zurich native plays his sets with a confidence and naturalness that makes you buy everything he does as a dancer. His strength, however, lies in house and techno - groovy tracks with lively synths that get even the last person on the dance floor to dance.
