Who would have thought that a beautiful Swiss ski town would be put on the techno map. And more than that it’s held down by a Vancouver snowboarder turned DJ named Mathew Jonson.

Pretty much puts North American après snowboarding to shame once again.

 

“It’s a culture clash that piques our intrigue; how a classy Swiss ski town well known for it’s summer golfing events became host to a meeting of the superstars of techno, from Seth Troxler to Ricardo Villalobos, Sven Väth, Mathew Jonson, Berghain regulars Marcel Dettman, Ben Klock and more.

“Swiss culture, and especially Swiss ski culture, is far from people going down into an underground club at 8am on a Sunday morning and finding a pack of people who have been down there for the past two days,” admits Mathew Jonson, a revered artist in the scene. No arguments there.

“This is a beautiful, relatively posh resort in Switzerland. If you compare that to Berghain club in Berlin, it really is so different.”
