Nordstern stands for extraordinary clubbing since the turn of the millennium, a place for demanding, urban people. An international, outstandingly networked hotspot for electronic music. A platform, visited by globally renowned artists.

The lower deck of the converted cargo ship is a land of milk and honey for clubbers with high expectations. Nordstern has been running for 20 years and has found its final home on this ship, a home that was first completely gutted and then outfitted with a ''room in a room'' concept to ensure perfect acoustics.

This is where the who-is-who of the international club music scene streams in and out, and thanks to the cooperation with L-Acoustics and WSDG, two world-renowned companies in the field of sound, a space for unique acoustic experiences has been created. Nothing is obsolete, everything is not what you say, but how you say it.

One of the most charming DJs in the business. A musical ambassador and a veteran of acid house, a champion of techno, a dance music pioneer, label owner, King of Ibiza – you name it, Carl's been there and done it, never losing sight of his passions – playing music, breaking tunes.

Zurich-based DJ. Naturklang and Hive Club resident.

Music. 

Anyone who wants to play behind prestigious turntables has to fight hard, as spaces are rare. That on its own is no longer sufficient: Once one has achieved the ambitious goal, you will have to constantly deliver high quality work to be able to defend the position.

Patrischa has come to stay. Although she has only started DJing in 2011, her dedication to music, her talent and the friendly support of the Naturklang label have brought her to the spotlight of well-known clubs across Switzerland: Hive, Bellevue, Zukunft, Supermarket and Revier, but also Hinterhof (Basel) and La Ruche (Lausanne) are just a few of the addresses that have given her the platform to unfold her talents for the crowds to enjoy. However, it has not only been clubs that are keen to make use of Patrischa‘s skills: Labels such as Naturklang, where she has been a resident DJ since her early beginnings, or Cityfox (... and that is really not the most unmusical imprint) have already assured themselves of her services. With rising demand it was important for Patrischa to be able to stay completely focused on her music.


Patrischa moves skillfully between Tech and Deep House, while adding a special note of her technoid and even minimal roots. Her unique style is rounded off nicely with her healthy dose of Soul that make her the master of swift pace with a touch of a smoother note - a mixture that has not left anyone untouched who has entered her acoustic radius of action. 

Not only does she play nationally, she also performs internationally in cities such as Cape Town, Istanbul, Vienna, Hamburg, Berlin and many more. Labels such as Naturklang, where she has been a resident DJ since her early beginnings, or Cityfox (... and that is really not the most unmusical imprint) have already assured themselves of her services.

Andrea Oliva’s current status as an established international headline act is the result of an entirely organic journey.

Having taught himself to DJ at the age of 13, Andrea then started working in a record store where he built his extensive collection of upfront promos and white labels from Europe and beyond and he soon secured bookings at some of Switzerland’s best clubs leading to residencies at Terminus and Pravda. With his status in his home country growing, Andrea teamed up with the owner of Nordstern in Basel, Agi Isaku, and the duo were soon throwing sold out ‘Banditz’ parties across Switzerland. His reputation took him across the continent and all the way to Ibiza, where in 2004 he was first invited to DJ at Space.

As his reputation grew so did his diary, and he was invited over to Ibiza to play at Space in summer 2004. Ibiza remains a pivotal location in Andrea´s current DJ career where he plays headlining slots most weeks at ANTS in Ushuaia. However his worldwide touring schedule is equally as extensive counting slots at many of the worlds biggest festivals including Coachella, Tomorrowland, A Summer Story, Sunrise, Dreambeach, Medusa, Sonus, Sunwaves, Kappa Futur and DGTL as career highlights.

Andrea developed his production style under the likes of VIVa Music, Saved Records, Be As One and Cadenza, and has gone on to have tracks on some of the industry´s most recognisable imprints. Several of his tracks including Vermona, My Way, Scream, and his remix of Thick Dick's "Welcome To The Jungle" topped charts across digital download platforms and have become anthems in clubs around the world. His 2015 “4313” album released on Objektivity was also received with critical acclaim and he continues to garner widespread support for his music from clubbers and industry alike.

Throughout few years Andrea has continued with an everstrong release schedule, with EP’s released on Hot Creations, Desolat, Truesoul, Play It Say It, Saved, Moon Harbour, Relief, Rejected, Kaluki, 7Wallace, Rawthentic and Circus. Not forgetting of course his massive remixes of Thick Dick’s “Welcome to The Jungle” (SONDOS), Groove Armada’s “House with Me” (Snatch), Tiga’s “Woke” (Turbo) and Catz n Dogz “New Love” (Pets Recordings), all of which were supported right across the industry and each of which also became huge club anthems. In addition, Andrea completed a solo headline “Andrea Oliva & Friends” residency at Ibiza’s newest superclub Hï Ibiza featuring a string of high profile guests, as well as maintaining an eye watering touring schedule incorporating headline festival sets and tours right across the globe. Other highlights include debut Boiler Room, Mixmag Lab and DJ Mag sessions, another B2B set and live broadcast with Pete Tong as part of the Radio One in Ibiza weekend, a second BBC Radio One Essential Mix and a return to the huge Zurich Street Parade where he performed on the main stage and which was attended by over a million people.
