Melting Steine are multi-instrumentalists and producers Martin Schenker and Luzius Schuler as well as keyboard player and bassist Dshamilja Kalt. Their nostalgic, warm instrumental music combines elements of jazz, bossa and psychedelic synthesizer music and sounds like the soundtrack to your dream island in the Mediterranean Sea. Their incomparable sound is created in a garage in the middle of Switzerland, where they record their compositions on an old Tascam tape machine with guitar, drum machines, flute and analog synthesizer. Lots of chorus, tape delay, vibrato, spring reverb and the warmth of analog recording technology give the music a psychedelic touch and you can hear the musical influences of the 60s and 70s. This is carefully crafted mood music that is sophisticated but has catchy melodies and unique sounds that have earworm potential.

Anna Erhard tackles the big issues with small words. With a trained eye and surgical precision, she dissects the thematic world of a thirtysomething and relentlessly presses where it hurts. On her recently released third album Botanical Garden, Erhard explores the boundaries between classic song structures and associative writing with sparkling imagination and a keen sense for everyday curiosities. While the music on Botanical Garden sounds somewhat more accessible than on Campsite, the lyrics also seem freer and more direct. Anna Erhard is larger than life - despite, or perhaps because of, her height of exactly 1.70 m. GDS.FM (Zurich's radio against the current) is an independent and ad-free platform for music creators. We are committed to making local cultural diversity accessible on the radio. For ten years, we have been organizing our own concert series and club nights in various locations and broadcasting live from festivals and events of all kinds.
