Swiss pop music demos 2013
m4music, the pop music festival organized by Migros Culture Percentage, has released the compilation "The Best of Demotape Clinic 2013".
"The Best of Demotape Clinic 2013" offers a unique insight into the work of up-and-coming Swiss pop music artists. The CD will be produced in an edition of 6000 copies and will be sent to decision-makers in the Swiss music scene. It will not go on sale.
For the 15th Demotape Clinic, newcomers from all over Switzerland submitted 777 demos in the categories pop, rock, urban and electronic. A jury listened to all the tracks and presented the best of them at the m4music festival in March 2013. Industry professionals commented on the demos publicly in front of the festival audience and gave the bands valuable tips. The "Demo of the Year" 2013 prize went to the Rhine Valley band Pedro Lehmann for the song Hurricane.
The most exciting demos, including the winners of the Suisa Foundation Awards, have been brought together for the eighth time on a CD compilation. The groups represented come from all over Switzerland: from Basel to Ascona, from Geneva to Altstätten. Migros Culture Percentage is sending the CD to the most important players in the Swiss music scene, such as music journalists, club owners, bookers, music and label managers, in order to draw their attention to up-and-coming artists.
The CD can be listened to and - while stocks last - ordered free of charge at www.demotapeclinic.ch
