About

PEACE RAVE "Openair" : A New Cultural Gathering Emerges During Street Parade Weekend As hundreds of thousands flood Zurich's streets for Street Parade, a different kind of dancefloor will take shape inside the courtyard of Café Europa. PEACE RAVE is a new cultural gathering presented by Temporary Culture Club Roland, Studio Club, Stereo Bar, RESONICA and Café Europa. Rather than competing with the scale and spectacle of Street Parade, PEACE RAVE offers an alternative perspective: an intimate meeting point for those who love electronic music but seek depth over distraction, connection over consumption, and culture over excess. At its core, PEACE RAVE is about bringing people together. Electronic music has always been more than entertainment. Since its earliest days, it has created spaces where people from different backgrounds, generations and walks of life can meet on equal terms. In an era increasingly shaped by social fragmentation, political tensions and digital isolation, physical spaces for meaningful encounters have become more valuable than ever. PEACE RAVE embraces this idea. It is an invitation to gather peacefully, exchange ideas, celebrate diversity and experience the unifying power of music. The event also marks the launch of a new cultural format for Zurich—one built on collaboration between some of the city's most influential actors across music, nightlife and hospitality. It combines a forward-thinking artistic vision with a clear social message: peace, openness, respect and community. A Line-up Defined by Substance, Not Hype Musically, PEACE RAVE follows a simple philosophy: quality over trends. Leading the bill is Jimi Jules, one of Switzerland's most internationally respected electronic artists. Over the past decade, the Zurich-born producer, live musician and DJ has evolved into a defining voice of contemporary electronic music. Through acclaimed releases on Innervisions and his globally celebrated live performances, Jules has built a reputation for blurring the boundaries between house, techno and songwriting. From major festival stages to underground institutions worldwide, his emotionally charged productions and distinctive artistic language have established him as one of the country's most significant electronic music exports. Joining him is Gina Jeanz, the Namibian DJ, curator and cultural advocate whose influence extends far beyond the booth. Renowned for her genre-fluid selections and commitment to strengthening African electronic music communities, Gina Jeanz has become one of the continent's most exciting ambassadors for contemporary club culture. Her performances connect local scenes with global audiences while remaining deeply rooted in community-building and cultural exchange. The line-up also features 2M, the Zurich duo behind RESONICA. Through their label, festival and event series, Max and Morgan have become central figures in a new generation of Swiss electronic music. Their carefully curated events and internationally minded programming have helped create new platforms for emerging artists while connecting Zurich to a broader global network of underground music culture. Their appearances at Montreux Jazz Festival, Zurich Openair and numerous respected clubs across Europe reflect the rapid rise of their project. At the heart of the event stands Alex Dallas. Few individuals have shaped Zurich's electronic landscape as profoundly. As co-founder of Club Zukunft—widely regarded as one of Switzerland's most influential clubs—Dallas has spent two decades championing adventurous programming, community-driven nightlife and artistic independence. As a DJ, promoter and cultural entrepreneur, he represents a vision of club culture rooted in curiosity, openness and long-term cultural value rather than short-lived trends. Together, these artists reflect the values at the centre of PEACE RAVE: authenticity, artistic integrity and cultural relevance. Beyond a single event, the long-term vision is to establish PEACE RAVE as a recurring fixture of Zurich's summer cultural calendar, expanding into different open-air locations across the city while maintaining its core values: encounter, respect and musical discovery. For one day during Street Parade weekend, Café Europa's courtyard becomes a space where differences fade into the background and common ground comes to the foreground. A place to celebrate what connects us. Music. Peace. Community. PEACE RAVE Zurich · Street Parade Weekend
