Peter Templar

Peter Templar draws his inspiration from film music and TV series from the 70's and 80's. He adds to it his own experience of electro music creating a bewitching alchemy where the acoustic melodies are mercilessly corrupted by electronic sounds. He has produced various chillout and lounge compilations, and co-produced differents titles with other artists.

This year, on top of a very heavy schedule, Peter Templar has agreed to mix the 2009 Precious Compilation Lounge CD (« Day »), thus bringing more international focus to the project thanks to his success abroad (mainly in France and the USA).

Maurocat

Maurocat was among the first local Swiss radio presenters and musical programmers as well as house DJ in a number of Swiss clubs in the 80’s and until today in several European lounge bars.

His main activities are music and video production, and promotion of clubbing events in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. His music styles are downtempo, bossa, d ‘n’ b jazzy and minimalist electronic. Highly skilled in deep house, Maurocat forged his experience during the 90’s.

Kosmos

Kosmos explore the different styles of electronic music : lounge, nu jazz and deep house with a permanently renewed urge to discover.

Their live concept is to integrate samples and grooves from machines leaving room for the improvisation and spontaneity of the musicians.

The band is composed of Dom on keyboards and Cicco on drums.

Mr. Qwertz

Working with Swiss groups under the stage name of Esteban, his various projects as a musician-composer have given him a new artistic vision; one of a solo artist playing with sounds and paradoxes: Mr Qwertz.

A fusion of acid jazz, drum’n’bass and house, his work reflects the subtle movement of active urban life sprinkled with dreamy moments, action and fleeting encounters.

Soul Division

Soul Division is a French band composed of David Dee-Vision (DJ), JC Prince (Keyboard), Mr B. (Violin), Greg’n’Sax (Sax) and Chris Krax (Guitar), based in Lausanne. Their concept is to put together DJ's mixes and live musicians, so they are often accompanied by other artists.

Over the years, the band has grown its live collaborations, produced a compilation for their main musical base, « La Folie Douce » in Val d’Isère, and are among the artists regularly booked by Nikki Beach, mainly in St-Tropez but also for some gigs in Marrakech and other dreamlike destinations.
