was born out of a desire to create a reggae, reggae-dub project tinged with multiple influences.
The project's founder, Lausanne-based producer, composer and percussionist Daniel
"Cicco" Ciccone, Aka "DADDY GORILLA", has always been keen to collaborate with other artists: singers, musicians, co-producers or sound engineers.

The list of collaborations has continued to grow since 2016 with the release of the first six-track Ep "Crossroads" and then the album "World Disorder".

Following their first music video, "Blood pon di street", produced in Dakar in 2016, the band toured Senegal in 2017, then went on to play a number of concerts in Switzerland in an original, never-before-seen format (Selecta and musicians).
The band performs at many renowned festivals and clubs, sharing the bill with groups such as Danakil, Alborosie, Lee Scratch Perry, Naman, Cali P, The Gladiators, Aswad, Iba Mahr, Mister Vegas...

The desire to play in a "full band" matured during the covid period and became more and more present. Today, this desire has become a reality!

ELEKTREES currently features an acoustic line-up of six talented musicians. Vocals, keyboards, guitar, drums, bass, percussion, featuring the engaging lyrics of singer Irie Pit, who evokes subjects such as solidarity, unity, tolerance, respect, love...
which is the basis of the message we want to convey through our music.
