Album cover (front): Various Artists — CCCC III

As part of Contemporary Culture Convention III in Bern—co-organised by Everest Records—this compilation captures a charged cross-section of the Swiss underground at the turn of the millennium: Kaleidophone, Steinbrüchel, Everest, Balduin, RM74, Dimlite, Person, Peter Baumgartner, Niels Jensen, Herpes Ö DeLuxe, and And Me. From groove-forward cuts to granular drone, from cut-up bricolage to hard-edged electronics, the set maps eleven distinct approaches that share a progressive, risk-embracing attitude. Weird electronica sits beside funk-leaning momentum; explorations of noise and spacious resonance contrast with tracks built from stark blocks of timbre and harmony. Made to be listened to—rather than serviced to dancefloors—this compilation stands as a vivid document of a scene thinking with its ears: adventurous, playful, and unmistakably alive.
