Joep Beving
Joep Beving
Joep Beving, a sensation of the contemporary classical streaming world, returns to his solo piano roots with Hermetism. The Dutch composer/pianist’s fourth album for Deutsche Grammophon was released globally on 8 April 2022. Inspired by ancient philosophy, Hermetism is an album in search of universal ideas. “I hope that it will have a comforting and communal effect on listeners,” says the artist.
Written during the dark days of the pandemic, in an age of fear and polarisation, Hermetism blends poignant melancholy with an offer of hope, spanning twelve new tracks recorded on Beving’s cherished Schimmel piano. He has used music to explore some of life’s big philosophical questions in three hugely successful albums – Solipsism, Prehension, and Henosis.
After his trilogy, Beving turned to composing for a Dutch film and stage play. Eventually, he returned to solo piano, drawing on everything he had learned. “I came back to the piano to feel at home and in tune with myself and my surroundings,” he notes.
The album draws on Hermetism, a spiritual philosophy based on writings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus. Its core principles — such as rhythm, polarity, and cause and effect — are about finding balance. “The teachings around these principles feel so truthful to me and I hope they will inspire others,” says Beving.
The track “Last Dance” reflects the principle of rhythm: what goes up must come down. The music circles, falls, rises, and repeats — like a mantra. The Middle Eastern-inspired “Dervish” channels his fascination with George Gurdjieff. “Nocturnal” was the first single released from the project.
Beving imagined Paris while writing much of Hermetism — as both a romantic and wounded symbol of Western civilization. From “La fée verte” to “Paris s’enflamme”, the album is steeped in moody, French-tinged atmosphere.
Since self-releasing Solipsism in 2015, Joep Beving has become a viral streaming phenomenon, with over half a billion plays and sold-out concerts worldwide. “In all the madness of recent times, this album has been the thing I’ve kept coming back to,” he reflects. “In that sense Hermetism has been my own medicine for the pandemic.”

Alex Serra
Alex Serra
Alex Serra is a musician and explorer, from the Mediterranean city of Barcelona. His debut album ‘In the Real World’ (2019) springs from an inspiring four-year self-discovery journey starting in 2012 and taking him through Latin America and South Africa, where he connects with musicians from different musical roots that permeate his music with a unique and regenerating energy.
In 2014 Alex lands in Cape Town (South Africa) and meets musician Yannick Meyer with whom he forms a heartfelt brotherhood. Together they start an ‘African psychedelic Pop’ project called Native Young, joining with a marimba band from the townships of Gugulethu, Kayelitsha and Philippi. This cultural and musical human exploration changes his life, inspiring him to explore his own musical universe on his return home in 2016.
In his return to Barcelona, Alex connects with Totidub (Toti Arimany), an amazing Dub producer that becomes a key element in the design of the sonic landscape of this album. Together they create a collection of songs that touch on different genres – downtempo, soul, reggae, dub – and induce the listener into a state of inner listening. The lyrics point towards a ‘Real World’, a place beyond our limited senses, where space and time cease to exist as we believe them to be.

Ayla Nereo
Ayla Nereo
Ayla Nereo is a singer, composer, producer, dancer, and visual-poetry creator raised among the Northern California forests and rivers. Called a “bridger of sound,” Ayla dances between timeless and modern, with a particular joy for cross-pollinating musical styles. Her songs seem a genre unto their own, as she moves between vocal looping, produced beats, live drumming, orchestral string arrangements, Celtic melodies, disco rhythms, electronic soundscapes, and even dashes of hip-hop wordplay.
Having an uncanny ability to crack open the heart, Ayla's music is an ode to the wonder of being human, inviting us deeper into the exquisite and innately psychedelic dream of this moment.
"One of the most poignant voices currently floating about... Ayla Nereo is an otherworldly artist who shares the fruits of her soul." — The Huffington Post
“[Ayla’s] relationship with the earth is imprinted in her music… expansive and intriguing.” — Billboard
Though you’d never know it seeing her perform, Ayla grew up with an intense fear of singing. In her final year of college, songs began pouring through her, and it was only through the constant urging of those around her that she began to slowly share her music.
Propelled by the songs themselves, Ayla’s journey of meeting those fears and singing through them has grown her into the powerful performer and facilitator she is today, touching an ever-widening global audience with the inspiring magic of her songs.
Ayla just released her 7th solo album, 'SOVEREIGN KIN - Book I: The Spark' — the first in a four-part saga moving through the elements. Book II is coming in late 2024.
Calling us to listen deeper, her songs are elegant masterpieces of lucid storytelling, with lyrics ringing as anthems for planetary healing, human potential, and the mirror of compassion in each moment.

Drum & Dance Zurich
Drum & Dance Zurich
Drum & Dance Zurich is a collective and our mission is to unite people through drumming and dancing. To do this, we create safe spaces where people can express and connect themselves authentically.
The birth of this idea was the lockdown during the corona pandemic. We, Michel, Greg and Attila, three passionate drummers and founders of Drum & Dance Zurich, saw more than ever the need to share the powerful, joyful and connecting drum rhythms with the world. We felt the darkness and division in the world growing rather than people uniting in times of crisis. Our private jams were our medicine to get us through those challenging times. The drum beats gave us a sense of grounding, a sense of connection, a spark of joy and hope, which was extremely healing. We knew we couldn’t keep that for ourselves.
In the summer of 2021, we decided to bring the energy and magic from our private jam sessions to the streets and people of Zurich. Drum beats go straight to your cells and make you move in a natural way. You can express and liberate yourself, let all the emotions flow through you, shake off what is not needed anymore. Dancing, the same as drumming, elevates your energy, helps you to connect to yourself and others and it puts a smile on your face. So, it was obvious to us to combine the two forces: The first Drum & Dance Zurich event was born.
What was meant to be a one-time guerrilla action on Sechseläutenplatz has now grown into a professionally organized collective with numerous top drummers and musicians from other genres. We now organize monthly Drum & Dance events, in summer at selected outdoor venues, in winter at selected indoor venues. The mission has stayed the same though: to unite people through drumming and dancing.
We are excited to create many more safe, unifying and powerful Drum & Dance spaces for and with you.
💜 Unity Through Drumming And Dancing 💜

Mahara McKay
Mahara McKay
Mahara McKay (1981) was born and raised in New Zealand, by a Swiss mother and a Maori father from the Ngati Toa tribe — the same tribe of the legendary warrior Te Rauparaha (who composed the Haka "Kamate").
Even as a little girl, Mahara was called an "old soul" by her elders. Her great-grandmother was a respected priestess and healer, and her father's brother was adopted by the Lakota, a Native American tribe. So it was no surprise that Mahara found her calling during her early thirties traveling the world.
During the years she lived in Switzerland, she lost touch with her spiritual roots, but when she left Switzerland for India, she found her way back to the source. Since then, she has been traveling the world, holding spaces for people to heal themselves through Tantric and Shamanic Arts.
Her gift is to help people transform heaviness into lightness, letting go of fears and inviting trust and love; cultivating sacred sexuality that is meaningful, healthy, and healing; going through life with an open heart authentically and honestly; learning from nature; and always finding the way back to stillness — back to Source.
Mahara's transformative group seminars, where people can honestly meet themselves and others in their true greatness, have been highly regarded by many people.
