Soirée

Soirée DJ // Producer // Rapper Andrea Luca Scherrer alias “Soirée”,

Geboren am 20.03.1995

Schon früh entdeckte Andrea seine Leidenschaft zur Musik. Den 1.

Ihn faszinierten die dynamischen Rythmen im Einklang mit den harmonischen Melodien. Mit 10 Jahren begann Andrea Schlagzeug zu spielen. Dies verschaffte ihm erste Bühnenerfahrungen und ein ein hervorragendes Taktgefühl.

Im Alter von 16 Jahren hörte Andrea zum erstenmal Tech House. Der Track stammte von Format B, welche unmittelbar später seine Vorbilder wurden. Mit 18 Jahren entdeckte er die Vi

elfalt der elektronischen Musikproduktion. Er hat zeitgleich beschlossen, auch Musik selber zu produzieren. Somit kaufte er sich ein Maschine Studio und legte los. Erst ein Jahr später versucht sich Andrea als DJ.

Damals gründete er mit einem seiner besten Freunde das DJ-Duo Soirée. Auftritt feierten die beiden mit 20 Jahren im damaligen Bierkönig in Thun. Aufgrund von unterschiedlichen Erwartungshaltungen, beendeten sie die Zusammenarbeit. Andrea behielt jedoch den Namen. Knapp ein Jahr später, lernte Andrea Simon Burri alias “Stilbruch” und trat dessen Label Mauerwerk Studios bei. Seinen ersten Auftritt für Mauerwerk Studios startete in der MiniBAR in Bern. Darauf folgten weitere Auftritte in der MiniBAR sowie in der Kulturarena in Kehrsatz und im Audiovisuell in Liebefeld. Andrea tüftelte viel an seinem Style, doch schlussendlich blieb er seinem typischen und doch so authentischen Tech House treu, den man heute von ihm kennt. Andrea’s erste waschechte Releases stehen auch bereits in den Startlöchern . Mit “The Flight” und “Hood Stories” hat Andrea einen vielversprechenden Start hingelegt.

Man kann nur freudig auf die Zukunft blicken, den es werden sicherlich noch mehr musikalische Überraschungen von Soirée folgen.

Long before plugins and digital effects, studio engineers experimented with tape machines to create new sounds.

In the mid 1960s at Abbey Road Studios, engineer Ken Townsend was working on recordings for The Beatles. Engineers sometimes ran two identical tape machines playing the same recording to experiment with slight timing differences.

They discovered that lightly touching the fl**ge (the outer rim) of a tape reel slowed the tape down slightly. This created a tiny delay between two identical signals.

When those signals combined again, their phase interaction produced the sweeping, jet-like sound we now know as flanging.

Because the engineer’s finger was touching the tape fl**ge, the effect became known as flanging.

Some of the first well known tracks to use this technique include:

• Tomorrow Never Knows – The Beatles (1966)
• Itchycoo Park – Small Faces (1967)
• Bold as Love – The Jimi Hendrix Experience (1967)
• Sky Pilot – Eric Burdon & The Animals (1968)

Originally the effect had to be performed manually by touching the spinning tape reel during playback.

What started as a studio experiment eventually became one of the most recognizable effects in music production, now available in pedals, rack units and plugins.

Drum machines like the Roland TR-808 and TR-909 were originally designed as cost-saving tools, meant to replace studio drummers. Their synthetic sound was considered too rigid and unrealistic for most commercial music at the time, which led to poor mainstream adoption.

In the underground, especially in Chicago, those limitations became strengths. Producers like Jesse Saunders and DJs like Frankie Knuckles embraced the machine’s mechanical, repetitive patterns and built a new rhythmic language around them.

What started as a technological compromise became an aesthetic choice. That sound, born from constraint, laid the foundation for what we now call house music.

John Summit founded his own label Experts Only as a platform to release his own music and support artists aligned with his sound.

He has emphasized that real passion is what drives both creative output and long-term business success.
The label reflects that mindset, combining artistic direction with a clear vision for sustainability in today’s electronic music landscape.

In 2025, staged a rare electronic music performance at the Great Pyramids of Giza, turning one of the world’s oldest monuments into an intentional part of a modern audiovisual show.

While artists had played at the Giza Plateau before, this event stood out for how it was designed and filmed, with the pyramids fully framed in the background and integrated into the atmosphere of the performance. The result was less a traditional DJ set and more a carefully constructed moment where location, sound, and visuals carried equal weight.
