MRZ live

While other kids were already learning to play the piano, MRZ was busy failing to comprehend how these organized air vibrations could possibly convey emotion.
When MRZ arrived at his first techno party at age 16 in the ’90s at Zurich’s Rote Fabrik, the world stopped making sense: How is it possible for machines to make people dance ecstatically for hours on end?
At some point in his twenties he finally took the plunge and started producing that weird electronic music himself, using computers and related gears. He tinkered also with gadgets like radios, buttons, and joysticks, reprogramming them into music machines. Soon, he was performing live sets, A/V installations, and performances everywhere from squats and off-spaces to sun decks across Europe, China, and the US.
His Live Act is in line with the gear-hacking: Unexpected gritty yet swinging sounds are oscillating somewhere between leftfield- and minimal house twisting and turning against convention while spreading positivity and lightness.
Eventually, his tracks landed on Nice Try Records and Unoiki. Now he runs Waswotsch Records with Andaloop, Michal Ho, and Idealist.
Of course, he’s obsessed with other artists’ work too—spinning their tunes solo or with his partner in crime, Sintič, until the sun comes up or goes down, repeat!
