Matija ist ein weitgereister Herr: Aus der Aargauer Provinz, wo er seine musikalisch ersten (und zweiten) Schritte tat, zog es Ihn in den Strassendschungel der Deutschen Hauptstadt Berlin, wo er 6 Jahre blieb und sein Handwerk vertiefte. Zusammen mit seinem damaligen Mitbewohner Dave Dinger ist er um die Häuser gezogen und hat mit ihm Clubs wie die Bar25 etc. gerockt.

Und wenn man es in Berlin schafft, dann nimmt man klein-Zürich im Sturm: Matija setzte nach seiner Rückkehr zur Eroberung der Schweizer Szeni-Metropole an. Mit Erfolg: Nach Partyreihen im Supermarket, Hive (und anderen Clubs) arbeitete er jahrelang als Night-Manager im Zürcher Hive-Club und spielt in Diesem immernoch als Resident fleissig weiter.

Als ehemaliger Night-Manager von Frieda's Büxe und Hive, ist er mittlerweile seit 22 Jahren schweizweit und oft auch international, unter anderem mit Dave Dinger, als Dj unterwegs und sorgt mit seinen Sets immer wider für für den gewissen Leckerbissen auf den Dancefloors.

Based in the beautiful city of Zürich / Switzerland and with strong roots in Italy Vanessa Spolidoro, better known to friends and followers of electronic club music under her artistic nom de guerre Vanita, has come a long way since she appeared on the scene back in 2009.

Inspired by an ever growing love for House and Techno music throughout her teenage years and the vast variety of unheard artificial sounds created with the help of synthesizers, both analogue and digital, Vanita took to DJ'ing and played her first ever club set at the tender age of 19 before she started to become involved in music production in 2010, first working with several friends before embarking on a solo tip to sharpen and refine her studio skills over the years to come.

Gaining notoriety in Zürich and beyond Vanita slowly, yet constantly built her reputation as an aspiring DJ on the rise, playing more and more club nights and finally secured a resident spot at the infamous Hive Club in her hometown in 2014, a first breakthrough point in her career as this residency meant a regular presence in one of the hotspots of Switzerland's club scene.

Parallel, endless hours spent in the studio turned out to be fruitful as well, leading to releases on several smaller labels before imprints like Draft Label and Einmusika offspring EIN2 picked up on Vanita's tunes for singles in 2015 and 2017 respectively before her „Awareness EP“ was signed to Berlin's Katermukke-imprint in 2018, another step that took Vanita to a next level.

With her tracks gaining recognition on an international level and a steady public exposure through the Hive Club residency where she continously plays alongside globally renowned artists it's no wonder that Vanita soon entered the league of globetrotting DJ's herself. To this date she played in neabry countries like Germany and the Netherlands but also took off on a long distance to elevate crowds in Thailand, South Africa, Israel and the United States with energetic sets and a captivating stage presence.

Whilst keeping with an ever busy schedule and growing air mileage in 2019 Vanita has been busy in the studio and recently released her „Rain EP“ on Hive Audio, an overdue fortification of her long standing relationship with Switzerland's busiest club meets label business.

With more releases lined up for the near future and more international bookings to come Vanita is defo on one of the names to watch out for as her career hasn't even come close to a possible peak yet.
No matter where in the world you're at, be assured that Vanita is about to touch down on a dancefloor near you. Soon.

Katz&Kauz Podcast 023 - MONA MOORE

Mòo & Jo Feat. Lass - Lora

Ever since Animal Trainer launched their global party campaign, the Swiss duo’s unique brand of ‘slow rave’ has captured the imaginations of countless electronic music lovers all over the world and spread their gospel to thousands, if not millions, of music lovers. Adrian Flavor and Samy Jackson are the two men behind Animal Trainer, a dynamic duo which grew up on a diet of the world’s very best electronic music artists in their hometown, Zurich. Driven by passion for the music and an insatiable appetite for the party, Adrian and Samy have become two of the hottest properties on the international circuit and represent the epitome of what Switzerland’s new generation of artists has to offer.

Raised in a city with arguably the strongest club scene in Switzerland, Animal Trainer made their name through a series of parties called ‘Rakete’, which still take place at the infamous Hive club. The duo had already spent some time refining their skills as DJs before launching the event, but their sterling reputation was cemented at the club. It was only a matter of time before the ambitious duo pushed things a step further by injecting their love and passion into creating their own music.

In 2008 Animal Trainer dropped their first release, ‘Talkshow’, which was followed by releases with some of the industry’s most influential labels; Defected, Poker Flat, mobilee, Einmusika, Katermukke and their own highly-regarded Hive Audio label among them. More recently they released ‘Aeron’ on the influential Canadian label My Favorite Robot and have an abundance of material pencilled in for release, including original material and remixes for Freude Am Tamzen, You Are We and Mona Berry.

2013 saw the release of Adrian and Samy’s debut full-length album, titled ‘Wide’. Spread across 13 tracks, the LP demonstrated their maturity as artists, focusing on the dance floor, but also incorporating down-tempo cuts and collaborations with vocalists such as Jan Blomqvist and Jimi Jules. It was a resounding success, with widespread praise and leading publications such as Groove Magazine and Data Transmission weighing in with glowing reviews.

With each new release Animal Trainer push the boundaries of their sound, introducing subtle nuances, unforgettable hooks, emotive rhythms or enchanting melodies while retaining their own individual groove to keep the dance floor bubbling. It’s not an easy task, but the boys stay focused and lock themselves away in the studio as often as they can in order to maintain the high standard they have already set.
Their increasing popularity has taken them from Zurich, and all over Switzerland, to some of Europe’s most respected club spaces; Watergate (Berlin), Robert Johnson (Frankfurt), Studio 80 (Amsterdam) and Lightbox (London) among them. While their worldwide fanbase has also skyrocketed leading to a myriad international appearances and tours including; South America, the United States, Asia, Australia and Mexico, playing at clubs like Warung Beach Club, D-Edge (Brazil), Bar Americas (Guadalajara), Public Works (San Francisco), Revolver (Melbourne), S.A.S.H. (Sydney), Baum (Bogota) and many more.
In the years since their first release Animal Trainer have maintained a constant focus on high quality club music, staying relevant when others have followed the hype, and evolving into a force to be reckoned with. They are party boys who take their music very seriously, but are never serious themselves – it’s a winning combination that has kept them one step ahead and on a constant upwards trajectory. Whatever they do next you can be sure that it will be something special…

3 QUESTIONS to ANIMAL TRAINER:

Q: How did you guys meet once and how did you develop the trademark Animal Trainer together?

A: We met in the club 15 years ago and we are still here. The Animal Trainer trademark is a good mix of passionate raving, serious business and heavy drinking done by a really old married couple.

Q: How did you spend your time since the lockdown(s) we had this year?

A: We always focus on the positive. We have a lot of new music, upgraded our studio, learned a lot and will make plans for the future when we go back to normal. 

Q: On what future projects are you currently working on?

A: We were talking about a second artist album since years. Maybe it will finally happen.
