On 30 March the time had come! After the test balloon event at the beginning of January 2024, the first edition of the 'SP Sessions Zurich' took place as the 'Spring' Edition. Over 45 guests enjoyed an exuberant live act event with finest electronic music and a relaxed atmosphere in Zurich's vibrant Glattpark neighbourhood.
The story behind the Live Act Event
The unique standout feature of the 'SP Sessions' event series is clearly the artist line-up. Rather than DJs, the focus is set on Live acts, each playing for around 45 minutes.
"I want to offer unknown artists a platform to perform their music live and network with other musicians," says 59 Perlen. The event is ment to be the little local brother of 'Sonic Playground', a yearly artist showcase event hosted by Petite Victory Collective, the label that also presents 'SP Sessions Zurich'.
The event takes place every 3 months and in each edition 59 Perlen presents a new lineup with international and local newcomer artists.
STRØM - Episode 18 Special Edition
STRØM is a monthly show hosted by Atlas Castle and 59 Perlen, designed to give a space for chilling while discovering hidden gems. Each episode contains a fine selection and mix of Electronic music tracks of different sub-genres: Minimal house, dark electronic, ambient, surrealist, DAWless, techno and on. Electronic music with a story to tell.
The March edition featured the line-up of the SP Sessions Zurich event - each artist explained his setup and selected a track that was presented.
Lineup Live Acts
The spring edition of SP Sessions Zurich naturally also offered a varied programme.
Music was provided by Deega (IT), Calck (IT), Nogasayan (DE), Miles Kvndra (DE) and 59 Perlen (CH), and the performance artist Bernardo San Rafael (CR/DE) offered a fantastic dance performance. Read more about the artists in this blogpost.
