Rhi­zom Sp­routs

RHIZOM is a multidisciplinary club culture festival rooted in zurich's alternative electronic music scene. after a hiatus since its 2022 festival, it returns in 2026 as a series of sprouts events. The second event takes place back where it all began and invites:

Xenia Reaper, based in berlin with releases on glasgow's index:records, serves lush synths through a subtle haze of internet 2.0 sonics, flexing intricate drum programming in their productions. they have put out some of the most captivating idm tracks recently.

LCN is a london-based dj, producer, and multidisciplinary artist pushing the boundaries of uk club music through worldbuilding and emotional sound design. with productions for fka twigs and pinkpantheress, their work cements their reputation as one of the uk's most forward-thinking voices, crafting cinematic chaos for dancefloors, their own queer community, and beyond.

rounding out the night are friends from our thriving local scene including ashwini, known for her vast music collection, playing standout sets at raves in mikro as well as slower selections on radio shows such as furka radio; yura chaim, co-curator of ghost romance, who consistently brings cutting-edge sounds to switzerland with bookings like lancer and yayoanoh; and erna, shaping conversations and club culture through her work at norient, kashev tapes and more recently with sage advice, whose sets invite you to get lost in time.

made possible with the kind support of migros kulturprozent and stadt zürich kultur
