20:30 JOHNNY MANCINIA solo artist from Basel playing “New Wop”, a blend of New Wave and Doo Wop. A transcendent sound with a retro vibe and a haunting voice that makes you feel as though you’re listening to the soundtrack of a lost Twin Peaks episode that was never aired. “… Recorded primarily on a pocket synth with occasional harmonica interludes, the twelve songs—with a wolfish grin—fulfill the aesthetic promise of the cover. (...) - brutally minimalist and maximalist at the same time …” (Hanspeter Kuenzler)

21:30 TEAM WORKTeam work - the band - was born in 2021, when these two people met on the internet. driven by a similar faith in collective work and ideas, they exchange each other music, extracts of poems, concepts, meditations, beats, emails, books, fanzines, films, ideas, bands they like (surprisingly having a similar taste ^^), recipes, jokes, phone calls, noises and more. Team Work’s "Somebody’s Gotta Do It" is the kind of debut that turns heads. Hailing from Berlin and making a name in the avant-punk realm, the duo make punchy, off-kilter no-wave tunes that draw on the eccentric oeuvre of bands like Flaming Tunes as well as the motorik pulse of ESG and Kleenex."-Sims Hardin, "Best Punk on Bandcamp, August 2026"
