As M$G, Jodok and Ramon (Basel, Lucerne, Willisau) explore how contemporary hip-hop can sound and live multidimensional masculinity. ALY-X (Aleyna Günay, Zurich) combines harsh noise, speedcore and doom.
M$G
As M$G, Jodok Achermann and Ramon Juchli explore together how contemporary hip-hop can sound: With both feet in reality, honest with themselves and their own place in the world. Their themes are (self-)love in times of late capitalism. Multidimensional masculinity. The sweet pleasures of everyday life.
The "M$G" project has gone through various phases. Launched in 2016 to satisfy a late-pubescent thirst for recognition, it then took a break of several years before new music could be created that met the growing demands for content and aesthetics.
Jodok and Ramon have been honing and polishing their current sound since 2021. With laptop, recorder and the notes app on their cell phones. The result: simple in language, edgy in sound. Between autotune singing and acoustic strumming, enriched again and again by the screeching of the flute - for many music enthusiasts the first instrument they are allowed to play at elementary school. This is why the cultivated dilettantism with which Achermann and Juchli produce their music is so fitting.
Their live performance is full of energy. On stage, they carry "the hottest shit" (quote: Radio 3Fach). They perform their concerts without a DJ, but with a big red play button and a MIDI controller. 16-year-old Nicki Miniaj disciples are just as happy to listen to the authentic lyrics in dialect as 50-year-old Stiller Has fans (RIP Endo). With M$G, the recorder has made the leap to the club stages of German-speaking Switzerland. In the last two and a half years, the duo has played almost 20 concerts. In Zurich (Boschbar, Zentralwäscherei), Ehrendingen (Festival Des Arcs), Lucerne (Neubad, Klub Kegelbahn, Schüür) Bern (Corso), at the Stanser Musiktage, their home town of Willisau (Zeughaus) and more.
With the album "Massage" in their luggage, M$G want to get to know new stages and cities as well as a new audience.

ALY-X
As ALY-X and in her avant-garde sounds and compositions, the Turkish-born, Zurich-based artist Aleyna Günay shows what it sounds like when the mainstream is over: a beat here and there, radical speedcore, then a hiss, layer upon layer, silence. Their sound becomes an electronic experiment, a vision of a possible future.
