JOHN TALABOT at Roland

JOHN TALABOT — KINDRED SPIRITS, DIFFERENT GENERATIONS.

Some artists follow trends. Others create a universe entirely their own.

For over a decade, JOHN TALABOT has been a familiar face in Zurich's underground, returning regularly to the legendary Zukunft at the invitation of ALEX DALLAS. A longstanding connection built on friendship, musical curiosity and a shared belief in the freedom of the dancefloor.

And that's exactly why he belongs at Roland.

One of electronic music's most distinctive and uncompromising artists, the Barcelona-born producer and DJ has always followed his own path. From his groundbreaking debut album ƒIN and the hypnotic beauty of Sunshine to his influential Hivern Discs label and his celebrated collaboration with Axel Boman as Talaboman, he's created a musical language that refuses to be pinned down.

Psychedelic house, cosmic disco, leftfield electronics, shadowy rhythms and deep, hypnotic grooves. His sets are journeys into the unknown, full of tension, unexpected turns and moments of pure dancefloor magic. Never predictable, never obvious. Just an extraordinary selector with an instinct for taking a room somewhere it didn't know it wanted to go.

Joining him are ALEX & JU DALLAS, father and daughter, two generations with different musical languages but the same restless curiosity.

Alex has been a driving force in Zurich's underground for over three decades, from the pioneering Dachkantine to the legendary Zukunft and his labels Straight Ahead Recordings and Drumpoet Community. A lifelong digger, DJ and curator whose musical compass has always pointed towards the outer edges of club culture.

JU DALLAS is part of a new wave rewriting the rules of the dancefloor. Making a name for herself with a fearless, bass-heavy and genre-fluid approach, she moves between UK bass, dubstep, breaks, soulfuturism, latin club sounds and experimental electronics. Her selections reflect a generation that doesn't care much for categories, connecting different scenes and rhythms into something raw, restless and entirely its own.

Different generations, different sounds, one shared instinct for the unexpected.

And where better than Roland? An old cinema in the heart of Langstrasse, where the bass hits hard, the lights stay low and the dancefloor belongs to everyone. A place for musical outsiders, old friends, new encounters and those beautifully unpredictable nights that stay with you long after the music stops.

No formulas, no musical borders, no looking back. Just deep selections, open minds and the original spirit of Kreis 4.
