HARD CAN­DY

HARD CANDY is a high-velocity celebration of "Happy Trance"—a genre-bending fusion of 90s Eurodance nostalgia, shimmering acid, and bouncy techno ��. Drawing inspiration from new-wave icons like Marlon Hoffstadt, Malugi, and KI/KI, this night is precision-engineered for maximum dopamine and unapologetic queer joy ⚡️�.

OUR RESIDENTS �

VIOLESC �� Returning to his Belgian roots, VIOLESC fuses pulsating kicks and heavy baselines with hypnotic acid motifs �️�. Moving away from purely melodic scenes, he delivers a mesmerizing, ethereal trip that maintains unyielding power. Expect a high-energy fantasy where you can lose yourself in the rhythm �✨.

VENA �� Our rising star from Germany makes her Zurich residency debut! � Influenced by deep trance odysseys, VENA weaves emotive, transcendent sounds with luminous, uplifting melodies ��. Her sets are an invitation to disconnect from reality and enter a trippy, intense atmosphere that lingers long after the lights come up ��.

Together, our residents are on a mission to curate the HARD CANDY lineup as a vibrant platform to uplift the local Swiss DJ scene ���.
