Stefan Sommerhalder, better known by his stage name Erhalder, is an electronic music composer and label owner from Basel, Switzerland.
Erhalders interest in electronic music was sparked in the early 90s with a tape copy of The White Room by The KLF, which had a significant influence on his musical taste. During the school years, he played the drums, listening and replaying old funk music by James Brown.
A few years later, Stefan was making tunes with free software known as trackers, which is one of the oldest tools available to make computer music without any external gear, MIDI, or money.
In 1998, Erhalder started and still runs his radio show, “SlackJackerz – The Rave Channel,” on the local FM station Kanal K, with his fellow friend Gert 3000.

In 2002, Erhalder released his first 12″ as the head and producer of the subversive performer-collective daftN0!ze, which was a blend of raw funk beats, rave elements, and bits of gangstacore madness.

In 2004, he started playing live performances under the name Erhalder, which is just a shortened form of his real Surname, with a new minimalistic techno oriented sound that showcased his evolution as a musician. Erhalder’s live music is heavily influenced by early Chicago techno, acid house and UK hardcore. He was also inspired by the minimalistic sound of Wolfgang Voigt’s Studio 1 series, which became a significant influence on his work during the mid-2010s.

Although the classic 303 acid sound was always an integral part of his live shows, he released his first two pure acid EPs in 2017/2018 on AcidWorx.

In 2018, he formed the techno duo Aux Couture together with Nenad J. – focusing on functional techno to make you sweat. With their debut «M.F. Dance» they scored some nice feedback from the crowds as well as some veteran djs.

in 2020, he started his own label Chip Stress, where he releases his classic electro tracks. Now for the first time he shares making of videos about the process of recording the tracks and started to grow his Youtube channel, which enables him to interact with an interested audience in a direct way.

Besides his music career, Stefan is a post-production sound engineer, working for commercial clients. This allows him to gain valuable insights into the technical aspects of audio production and keep his engineering skills up to speed.
Erhalder’s love for music extends beyond his compositions, as he has also started a YouTube channel that features production-related content, offering valuable insights into his creative process and techniques.

Keep it Groovy

L'inizio di tutto è nella fine del 2005 quando 2 ragazzi da sempre amici creano CAN IN GOOD PROJECT spaziando dalle origine del reggae alla dancehall con YOSEFAYA e DNB e DUBSTEP con il KIMIKO.

Nel 2006 ecco l'arrivo ALL'ALTRO MONDO MUSIC le prime danz, i primi impianti audio le prime luci la situazione diventava sempre piu seria, l'avvetura qui finisce nel 2014 quando con rammarico il posto chiude.

Dal 2008 al 2010 l'Altro Mondo è stato il fulcro delle dancehall della zona, e qui come sempre yosefaya è presente nella yard dove si sono esibiti innumerevoli artisti, anche internazionali, dando spazio col tempo a tutti i generi musicali.

Dal 2007 inizia la collezione di vinili principalmente "ROOTS" aggiungendo col tempo, viste le innumerevoli esperienze anche al di fuori delle danz, dubstep e Jungle arricchendo e perfezionando sempre piu le selezioni musicali, tutt'ora tutto questo non si è fermato, il VINILE è al centro della sua esperienza musicale.

In giro per l'europa ascolta nuove influenze e le fa sue nelle selezioni musicali piu recenti, ed è presente in alcune delle migliori danz della zona, e qualche sporadica comparsa su e giu per lo stivale.

Nel 2014 nasce BARI VINYL ARMY dall'unione di 4 ragazzi uniti dalla passione delle reggae e del vinile, qui la militanza continua in questo progetto che ha molte aspettative...

Nel 2024 nasce il nuovo progetto ABRAXAS, associazione culturale, con altri due esponenti della scena musicale della zona.

Meet the founder  - Cornetta

Born and raised in Bari, Italy.
Cornetta, mostly known as Silvia, has been very passionate about the electronic music scene since the age of 12, when she discovered her first favourite CD, Melody A.M by Röyksopp. Since then, she has explored a plethora of artists which still to this day have a massive influence on her music taste. At a young age and in her early teens Cornetta became obsessed with the music produced by Aphex Twin, μ-Ziq Luke Vibert, Plaid, Autechere and Plastikman, to mention only a few.
Around the age of 16, Cornetta was attending regularly both private and organised parties in Puglia and became more fond of Minimal Techno. As soon as she reached the legal age, Cornetta would put aside her pocket money and book cheap flights and accommodation to travel to festivals in Germany, when this was a lot more affordable to do. She became very inspired by the music and selection of artists such as Richie Hawtin, Sven Väth, Ricardo Villalobos, Jeff Mills, Ellen Allien, Monika Kruse, Miss Kittin and Miss Djax.
Cornetta has also dived into the free party scene in Puglia, which was at the time  fairly detached and separated from the Techno scene. Here, she became also intrigued by the sound of Dub, Reggae and the heavier bass of French Tek, which to these days continue to influence her selection.
Cornetta moved to Scotland in her early 20s and after meeting one of her closest friend to these days, Acid Boner, she approached the subcultural field and scend in Scotland. 

Cornetta started record digging and collecting Vinyls from the Ska Reggae and Mod subcultural movement with Dan and the pair would regularly attend record stores with their close group of friends to dig more music.
 


Cornetta has also been studying Guitar since the age of 12 and continues to keep in parallel a great passion for indie rock music, folk and Bossanova, continuing to balance practice both on the turntables and the fretboard.
Following the Pandemic, it was felt that the local party scene experienced fair challenges and the nightlife had unavailably a negative hit in her local town of Aberdeen. With her own initiative and with the greay help of her friends and partner, Cornetta has launched last year her own parties in Aberdeen which were received really well, seeing quickly a contained crew of regular attendees.

The Danza Catartica Project emerged from a need to define a specific type of sound, reconnect to its subcultural roots and sense of community and involve artists that resonate with the sound and ethos.


Looking for singer first and foremost. Also instrumentalists, collaborations or feedback.
