Ambient and downtempo music provide a decelerating and unique function, creating moments of stillness in our ever-moving world. This magic has touched the heart of Zurich-based electronic music artist ECLEKTIC. 

A special path has led Dani Stucki to this style, which allows him to unite his deep passion for music and his love for nature. A balanced interaction - a symbiosis of self-recorded natural sounds, slowly evolving synth pads and electronic beats - is therefore the essence of his productions. 

Dani was a nature and music enthusiast from the start. At the age of 7 he learned to play the guitar and later completed classical music education – always spending his free time in the forest and in the mountains. Fascinated by electronic music, he constantly followed its development, and in the late 90's he started producing and DJing Progressive-Trance music. 

Besides up-tempo music, he found peace and tranquility in chillout and ambient sounds in all their facets, making him sink into listening sessions for countless hours. This is how Dani came to experiment with drones, break drums and his own field recordings. What came out was - rather unexpectedly - downtempo and ambient music. "It's like impressions flowing into me and coming out as music, deep from my heart." 

This transformation process was the birth of his current project, ECLEKTIC. He released his first EP 'Sky Holder' featured by XLR8R, worked with different labels, and then joined the Iboga Records (Sofa Beats) family, where the studio album 'Form of Elation' (2019) and the follow-up 'stories of wide' (2020) were released. 

In addition to producing, ECLEKTIC enjoys performing live, taking listeners on an unfolding ambient journey. He’s been featured at Boom Festival, Ozora Festival, Burning Mountain Festival , Psy Nation, Street Parade, SUN Festival, 7 Vibes Journey, Hive Club and on radio stations such as Ozora and Unite to name a few.

So keep your ears open for ECLEKTIC's future releases and live performances, and get ready for a transformative and intense musical eclecticism of organic soundscapes and captivating rhythms.

Born 1982 in Munich, NEO//LIX grew up with 80s synth music, being fascinated by the endless possibilities of electronic sound generation. After experiencing the rise of electronic dance music during the 90s, he had his first contact to Psychedelic Trance in the legendary Natraj Temple club - and instantly fell in love with it. Starting DJing himself in 2014, he already had the opportunity to play at lots of awesome events and even got the honour to be a part of international festivals like the Life Celebration Festival in Croatia.

Deeply influenced by old school EBM (Electronic Body Music) and Industrial on the one side and Ambient and Classic Electronica on the other, NEO//LIX's sets tend to be dark and serious, while still remaining melodic and never becoming too stressful. Always trying to tell a story, he gives the listener a trip through time and space. Never committed to a single style, his repertoire includes Ambient and Downtempo, Dark Progressive / Zenonesque, Nightpsy, Forest, Darkpsy and Hitech.

Xed is the psytrance project by the Founder of Patronus records, Cedric Marugg. He discovered the psytrance scene and started playing DJ-Sets at local parties in 2016 and got himself immersed deeply into everything about it, due to falling in love with the music and dancing. After some parties he decided to organize his own events in the Swiss mountains and gather experience organizing raves. After two years of DJing he decided to dive into music production and started developing his skills with help by some of his friends (Mirror Engine, Metrix, Yaroc a.m.m.). Cedric quickly learned and distinguished himself as having a unique style very early on. 

As time went on, next to putting in lots of time into the record label, his production only grew more mature and clean, not loosing a bit in creative ideas. Wild, unorthodox breaks, funky stinging raygun sounds, poisonous acid stabs, reckless alien space battles and all the gud spacey shit included. Fun but yet introspective psychedelia, but undoubtedly different, generating excitement through sheer overflow of creative and brain-twirling patterns and grooves. Blasting as loud as possible is a moral obligation. 

He had the honor to play at some big events like the Sangoma Night in Zürich, Utopia Festival in Ticino, Sundaze festival,Burning Mountain, Reisefieber Festival & Sensory Spectrum in Oman. Patronus Records has been founded officially in 2018 and since then, Cedric, with all the fire in his heart, has been continuously putting great effort and work into it. His goals are always growing as an individual. He's driven by the idea of giving music lovers and dancers a smile, as well as hosting a family of like-minded people and giving them soil to grow on.
