I don't like to be boosting like many cats and dogs, but the legendary acts in Montreux(especially the Soul, Old School and Indie Pioneers)were inspiring me very much during my times as a music/ news reporter and they are still rocking me today.
I miss the warm encounters, the Riviera touch of Montreux. Therefore here you are little rundown of classics for a refreshing Summer of Love. 

Yours truly

TheEssence (Summer 2024)

His love for music started at a very early age at school playing the guitar and drums. Then continuing the full drum kit in a band with friends at age 13 and gaining much musical experience in his first job as a tea boy for DJs in the early 80ies. Today Miky Merz is still blending soulful tunes with synths in a unique, essential style. 

"Music is the essence of my life and just about everything I do is in the tributary of sounds"

TheEssence(SmoothestHouse)

Thanks for coming down to the Swiss Landesmuseum and dancing a little bit with me Ende of August, 2022, at Rundfunk.fm. 
Yours truly

"When every selected tune
is as sparkling as a Sufi 
dancer 
in the dusk of Summer ."
Michael Dominique (RecsOntheRocks) 

My selections are equal to a epic journey, to sensual tunes. This one is a gradually moving synthesis of light and ombre. Even more: It's another floating and miles more convenient selection than bulk commodities.

Underneath you're finding some of the seasoned and fresh titles i was picking out for this polyglote set...

Space/ Mesmerized/ Last Night / 25 or 6 to 4/ A home in strange / beauty/ accroche moi/ ... / catching midnight / ...

This one goes out to all people loving the radio vibes of rundfunk.fm. It was great seeing you dance under the sky in Zurich West. The line up was massive with pioneers like Oliver Scotoni or Richard Dorfmeister. Big ups to the whole rundfunk.fm staff, making funky deep things possible. Yours mm

FromZurichwithLove (TheSoulofHouse)

Miky Merz fell in love with DJing at the age of twelve. 

Decades later the Zurich local has co-established several magazines, guides and a youth radio station. For more than 15 years he is a solid rock on the Zurich cult radio station rundfunk.fm - once a summerfestival taking place in the Swiss National Museum.

 Here you are a live snippet for travelling, dancing, generally hanging out. 

Yours truly mm 

P.s.: Sorry for the bad quality of the recording and the silly talk overs of Russ (obviously recovering from a sunburst!)

Weather you lie down to enjoy a rare sunset, or you are curious about fitting Tankinis, Leatherettes or Straw Huts: This is the treat, a boundary-stretching set to your own private hide away. - Special vibes go to the Quai 61 in Zurich and the NuNorthern Soul label. Time to check out this little yachting club and the brilliant music.  Yours mm

By the way you can catch me and friends spinning in May, June in superbe niches in Zurich like e. g. Studio 25 at 25h Hotel Zurich West, Raygrodski Bar, at Quai 61 Zurich
