Expect fabled modulation, drum machine hypnosis and halcyonic synthesis, as this cult icon joins us for a live set. OPTIMO After delivering such an amazing set at the 2022 edition we had to bring Optimo back to Leysin! After reaching a well-deserved cult status with their Optimo (Espacio) weekly Sunday-night parties at Sub Club in Glasgow, JD Twitch and JG Wilkes have continued to play, tour and release music under the Optimo name to keep the spirit of their hedonistic parties alive. KODE9 We are so thrilled to bring Kode9, an artist who fully warrants his status as a revered DJ and producer. Between his duties as founder of the ground-breaking Hyperdub label, his always forward-thinking DJ sets, and his original productions and remixes, Kode9 remains at the forefront of underground dance music. One of the originators of the U.K. dubstep scene and constantly expanding his horizons, he became an early champion of the juke/footwork scene in addition to exploring styles such as broken beat, garage, and grime. His sets now weave together an unpredictable, bass heavy mix drawing musically from further afield. DANILO PLESSOW aka MCDE Leysin is in for a treat with DJ & producer Danilo Plessow aka Motor City Drum Ensemble. The celebrated DJ and producer, hailed for his unique combinations of retro and futuristic German house, draws from an impressive and multi-faceted record collection. Considered to be one of the most influential DJs and producers on the electronic scene, he will share his art of digging and will set you up for an epic journey through disco, jazz, funk, house and soul. JAMZ SUPERNOVA Also on the bill, UK DJ & producer, Jamz Supernova. Jamz Supernova lives and breathes new music. She has grown to be one of London’s most beloved DJs, not only within the nightlife and festival circuit, but on prime radio too. After spending 12 years at BBC Radio 1Xtra, she made the move to BBC 6Music and even founded her own label, Future Bounce. As a DJ, Jamz' global outlook is channelled into eclectic selections that span UK funky, underground club cuts, breakbeat and more. SESSION VICTIM Shapes Festival will also vibrate to the sounds of Hauke Freer and Matthias Reiling aka Session Victim with their unparalleled energy and passion that translates into their renowned live performances. With a live show unlike anything else out there, your Two Man House Band has claimed their very own spot in today’s Dance Music. KIKELOMO Welcoming Kikelomo, the British-Nigerian DJ who’s taken the electronic music scene by storm. In addition to a plethora of international DJ gigs, appearances on Boiler Room and at Berghain, she has a Rinse FM residency and co-runs Oroko Radio, a not-for-profit community station based in Ghana’s capital Accra. If you come to one of her sets, you won’t really know what to expect in terms of sound. She's going to push some boundaries and you’ll hear everything from vintage New York house to fiery breakbeat, edits of classic songs, piano-laden hardcore, speed garage and kuduro. KAREN NYAME KG For nearly a decade, Karen Nyame KG has been an innovative and percussive luminary of dance music. Dubbed as the “Goddess of Rhythm”, KG’s plethora of African polyrhythms, low-end sub-basses, and energetic drum patterns are sure fire to showcase the evolving sound of London’s club music hybridity and bounce. KALABRESE & SMALL RUMPELORCHESTER Sacha Winkler aka Kalabrese is one of the more glittering characters in Zurich's music scene and mingling at the frontline as DJ, producer, bandleader and as co-owner of the legendary club Zukunft. Blurring the lines between folk, house, funk, and wonky slo-mo disco, Kalabrese is an adventurous tastemaker and bold musical force that dares to tread the murky waters between indie and electronica, playfully emphasizing vocals on song-based productions. We can't wait to see him live with his Small Rumpelorchester. NAAJET Paris based DJ/Producer, Naajet, offers unique DJ sets blending House, Soulful, UK Garage and Breakbeat. Her sets demonstrate her love of electronic music and her commitment to expanding the boundaries of the genre. She is a member of the Bande de Filles, a collective which seeks to push women forward in electronic music. --------------------------------------- Leysin is the closest ski resort from Geneva, with spectacular ski runs, views of Mont-blanc and Lake Geneva, nearby thermal baths and glacier.
