ANIMAL TRAINER ARDOUR  DEJAN

CLUB NIGHT: ANIMAL TRAINER | ARDOUR | DEJAN

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4 | PALAIS MASCOTTE, ZURICH | FROM 10 PM

ANIMAL TRAINER

Some artists play the scene. Others help build it. Animal Trainer have been shaping Zurich's electronic music culture for two decades, becoming one of Switzerland's most influential and internationally recognised names in electronic music.

Founded in 2006 by Adrian Flavor and Samy Jackson, Animal Trainer have developed a signature sound they call “Slow Rave” – a captivating blend of deep house, tech house, driving grooves, melodic textures and infectious dancefloor energy. Their music moves effortlessly between hypnotic underground rhythms and euphoric moments, always guided by a deep understanding of the dancefloor.

Their influence reaches far beyond the DJ booth. Deeply connected to Zurich's legendary Hive Club, Animal Trainer are among the creative forces behind the iconic Rakete parties and Hive Audio record label. Adrian Flavor is also a co-owner of Hive, while Samy Jackson brings his background as a multi-instrumentalist and producer into the project's musical identity.

From Zurich to dancefloors across the globe, their journey has taken them to legendary clubs and festivals including Watergate, Robert Johnson, Fusion and Tomorrowland. Their releases have appeared on renowned labels such as Stil vor Talent, Katermukke and Hive Audio, while their debut album Wide further established their reputation as exceptional producers.

Their connection to Zurich runs especially deep: regular appearances at the Street Parade, including the creation of its official anthem in 2018, have made them true ambassadors of the city's electronic music heritage. Beyond performing, they also pass on their experience to the next generation through DJ and music production education.

ARDOUR

DEJAN
Joining the lineup is Zurich's Dejan, adding another local name to an evening dedicated to the city's electronic music culture. Expect a night where musical passion, connection and the dancefloor take centre stage.
