One Airstream. Two DJs. Zero comfort.
Time to change that.
Welcome to Pimp My Backstage - the 3-part mini-series in which a rusty trailer becomes the wildest mobile backstage in Switzerland.
Including: the Dangel Twins, host Eric aka "Lou Combo", absurd ideas - and of course El Tony Mate.
True to the motto "trust your madness", we have not only renovated, but completely rethought: DJ booth with lighting effects, Mario Kart lounge, mood lights and a fridge full of ice-cold Mate.
Between chaos, improvisation and lots of madness, a place is created that not only welcomes artists, but also celebrates them.
THE BACKSTAGE is an exclusive retreat for artists, hosts, organizers and VIPs - in the middle of the hustle and bustle, but with a real vibe.
Scroll down, take a look at the series - and discover how a rusty trailer became the most special backstage in Switzerland.
Welcome to Episode 1 of Pimp My Backstage – where tour grime meets dream design. DJ duo the Dangel Twins are done with sleeping bags and folding chairs. Together with El Tony Mate, host Eric kicks off the ultimate Airstream transformation. Get ready for cobwebs, chaos, and one bold promise: turning this wreck into a real backstage oasis.
DANGEL TWINS
From broom closets to Airstream dreams.
Ben and Chris - aka the Dangel Twins - have been playing their way through clubs, afterhours and improv backstages long before they reached international stages like Ibiza or Mykonos with their label FLUCHT.
Their sound? Always groovy. Their drive? Big visions, little sleep - and the will to build everything themselves.
2024 released their first single "The Symphony", directly supported by scene giants like Black Coffee.
After years of subwoofers, pallets and plastic chairs, it was clear that they needed a new space. One that is as uncompromising as their path. THE BACKSTAGE is exactly that.
LOU COMBO
From house party accident to festival favorite.
Lou Combo stumbled behind a DJ booth - and stayed. Today he is a permanent fixture in Zurich's club scene and far beyond. Hive, Kaufleuten, Streetparade, Arosa Electronica - Lou plays what feels right.
His sound alternates between deep, funky and tropical - never out of calculation, always out of conviction. As part of Riser X All I Need, he plays with artists such as Andrea Oliva and Dennis Cruz - and always hits the nerve of the moment.
THE BACKSTAGE is not just a room for him. It is a statement: for music that is created when you dare to go your own way.
