After 23 editions in the Valais region, Switzerland’s Caprices Festival confirms its flagship winter edition will take place at Eggli, Gstaad in 2026, marking a major new chapter in the festival’s story.
The move introduces new stages and a refined production setup that utilizes existing alpine infrastructure to enhance sound, comfort, continuity and overall experience. Located high above the slopes, Eggli offers a 360° panoramic view of the Swiss Alps, creating a setting where dramatic natural landscapes meet forward-thinking electronic music.

Amsterdam-based collective Slapfunk will bring its distinctive underground UKG-inflected sounds to Eggli, while Zurich’s Grocerie collective joins the programme, further underscoring Caprices’ connection to the Swiss electronic music community and club culture.
The shift to Gstaad represents an evolution for Caprices. After more than two decades shaping the blueprint for mountain festivals worldwide, the event now enters a refreshed phase that deepens integration with the surrounding environment, improves protection from the elements, and unlocks new creative possibilities for staging and design.
At its core, Caprices remains guided by the values that have defined it for over 20 years, meticulous curation, world-class sound, and an international community of music lovers spanning more than 75 countries.
A refined access system sees gondolas operating continuously from midday until 4AM, with a swift seven-minute ascent to the summit. At the top, the Eggli site enables the development of three distinct glasshouse stages.
The Peak Stage is designed for large-scale performances framed by sweeping alpine views; the CNTRL Stage offers a more intimate environment built for extended sets and special back-to-back performances; and the Ridge Stage focuses on experimental sounds and immersive concepts. Across all spaces, Caprices perpetuates its long-standing reputation for ambitious production standards.
“Caprices has always been about the connection between nature, art and music. By moving to Gstaad, we remain faithful to this vision while taking the overall experience to an even higher level,” says Maxime Léonard, Co-Founder and CEO of Caprices Festival.
The 2026 edition brings together long-standing Caprices collaborators alongside a wide spectrum of contemporary artists shaping today’s global electronic music landscape. Returning artists including Ricardo Villalobos, Luciano in a special back-to-back with Dennis Cruz, Sonja Moonear, Sven Väth, DJ Tennis, Jamie Jones, Bedouin, Dan Ghenacia b2b Alci, and RPR Soundsystem reflect the deep relationships the festival has built with its artistic community over the years.

Alongside these names, the 2026 lineup also features artists from across house, techno, and minimal scenes, including Vintage Culture, Josh Baker, Mau P, Adam Ten, Mita Gami, Alisha, Cincity, Sally C, Stoffela, DVS1, Ilario Alicante, Joseph Capriati, Mind Against, Rossi., Ryan Elliott b2b Quest, and WhoMadeWho with their lauded Hybrid Set, cementing a programme that balances heritage with forward momentum.
To support the new format, Caprices is offering a wide range of accommodation options throughout the Gstaad region. Guests can choose from luxury hotels, mid-range stays and budget-friendly options, alongside curated apartments and chalets available through official partner platforms and listings on the Caprices website. This flexible approach allows visitors to tailor their experience, whether planning a premium alpine getaway or a group-focused festival trip.
A dedicated shuttle bus network will operate across the wider region, connecting Saanen, Rougemont, Schönried, Saanenmöser, Turbach, Lauenen, and Zweisimmen with both the resort and festival site.
Services will run day and night, ensuring smooth access throughout the event. Full timetables and stop details will be published on the Capriceswebsite ahead of the festival.
Operating at the crossroads of desire and dissonance, Sterling Angel is a project that refuses to soften its edges. Conceived by John Sterling, the project fuses sensual trance, industrial abrasion, and primal electronica into a sound that is as confrontational as it is hypnotic.
With its latest release, ‘Dangerous Gift’, Sterling Angel pushes deeper into this visceral territory, trading seduction for severity while preserving the project’s core emotional intensity.
We sat down with Sterling Angelto discuss the evolution of the project, the existential themes driving his music, and how danger, tension, and creative instinct continue to shape this uncompromising sonic vision.
Check out the full interview below!
Hi Sterling Angel! How are you?
All is well and continually on the rise.
‘Dangerous Gift’ feels like a deeper dive into your identity as an artist. How did the idea of this release begin?
Usually, ideas just come to me as I create. That being said, my current work is always aligned with the Sterling Angel ethos. Themes center on existential angst and the striving to bring forth true emotional depth in a world where things seem more surface level. All tracks are borne of this framework. So, the idea of this release just fits logically and emotionally.
When you started producing ‘Dangerous Gift’, what was the very first sonic idea or emotion that set the tone for the track?
With this track, I wanted to go for something as edgy and impending as I could. Something otherworldly and alien. And with, of course, an element of danger.
What tools, sound-design techniques, or hardware helped shape track’s atmosphere?
I produce all my tracks on Ableton Live along with a template that I have created with my favorite software synths, effects, and settings. This allows me to limit myself a bit with options, as it is easy to get overwhelmed with all the sonic tools that are at my disposal.
The atmosphere in my tracks is always the result of this set up. And this track is no different. Sounds are pre curated to some degree so I can just feel everything as a natural extension of my flow state and branch out from there. I never get bogged down in exact sound design during my creation process.
I do, however, experiment in real-time within my template, as I loop in the session view of Ableton Live. It’s why I love this DAW for its on-the-fly approach and immersive quality. I could, of course, share my fave plugins etc, but I prefer to maintain the mystique in my work.
Can you walk us through a specific moment in the track where something unexpected in the studio ended up defining the final sound?
Hmm. I don’t actually recall a particular moment where this happened on this track. That being said, there are always unexpected things that happen whenever I create and that is what makes it most exciting. I always push for that actually. All my tracks end up in their own unique way, despite what my initial aim is.
The title ‘Dangerous Gift’ is interesting; what does the phrase mean?
“Dangerous Gift” refers to a few things actually, for one, it refers to my own struggles of dealing with having a natural talent for explosive artistic expression and what that means when such intensity is turned inwards.
If not allowed to be expressed, it can lead to overwhelming internal angst and self destruction. I feel in this current culture, suppressed creative energy can come with a lot of problems, especially for those who are more afflicted with such a temperament.
Secondly, it applies to how much of a threat my new form of creation is to the current dogma of what electronic music is supposed to be. Disrupting the status quo is always risky.
What part of the production process took the longest or pushed you the hardest creatively?
I would say that for me the part that takes the longest in all my tracks is deciding when it is done and the finishing touches. Perfectionism can make any track take forever to complete. I am getting better at this though, thankfully 🙂
How have your roots in Trance and Electronic music shaped the direction of this release?
I would say that “Dangerous Gift” really captures what I like most about the idea of Trance. A very hypnotic alien-like soundscape. This, of course, is from my own perspective on what I love most about Trance music. I know Trance can mean a ton of different things these days, but I draw my inspiration to what Trance was in the early 90s.
I don’t consciously force myself to create within a certain genre, but there is no doubt that trance has heavily influenced this current iteration of Sterling Angel. “Dangerous Gift” is no exception.
How does ‘Dangerous Gift’ fit into the broader story you’re telling with your upcoming projects?
I’m always conceptual in my approach to my work. “Dangerous Gift” is just another chapter in the theme of existential angst and my personal battles with it. My past few releases are all going to be featured on my next album which will further flesh out my ideas around this topic.
All my music is a current reflection of myself and the journey that I am on in this life. Feeling completely alive inside a world that seems darker every day where we all crave more meaning and purpose.
After completing this release, what new artistic challenges are you excited to take next?
I’d say the most exciting new challenge will be converting the SA project into a “live” experience through future gigs and collaborations. I am always evolving musically but am most focused on expanding the SA universe in whatever ways that present themselves. I have plenty of new music and work ready to go. Much is happening behind the scenes. 2026 will be quite a year for SA 🙂
In its latest evolution, Sterling Angel abandons whispers for snarls, trading velvet for voltage without losing its core pulse. At heart, the project remains a fevered communion between body and machine—a visceral lifeline for those drawn to ecstasy sharpened by tension.
This is music that doesn’t merely reflect the human condition; it confronts it head-on, carving catharsis from distortion and desire alike.
Alex Cecil releases his latest single, ‘Bump It’, through Black Lizard Records.
‘Bump It’ is an explosive, dance-floor-ready track powered by pulsating beats, thick grooves, melodic synth lines, and bold robotic vocal textures. Designed for peak-time impact, the record delivers a futuristic edge while maintaining the atmosphere that defines Alex Cecil’s evolving sound.
‘Bump It’ combines rhythmic intensity with shimmering melodic touches, creating a dynamic, high-voltage experience. The robotic vocal textures weave through the track with precision, adding a unique edge that elevates the groove and enhances its driving momentum.
With ‘Bump It’ Alex Cecil highlights his growing momentum in the Electronic music world.

Electronic music producer and DJ Kashovski returns with his brand-new single ‘Timbo’, released via Monaberry. The forward-thinking track showcases his evolving sound and refined production style, blending driving grooves with rich atmospheric detail. With a balance of club-ready energy and immersive depth, Kashovski continues to carve out his own space within contemporary electronic music.
‘Timbo’ is built around a tight, pulsing rhythm that immediately draws the listener in. Layered with textured synths, subtle melodic motifs, and crisp percussion, the track unfolds gradually, creating tension and momentum without sacrificing clarity.
The production is both powerful and precise, reflecting Kashovski’s attention to detail and his ability to shape dynamic Electronic compositions that feel modern yet timeless. Designed with the dancefloor in mind, the track also offers enough nuance to reward repeated listens outside of a club context.
Over the years, Kashovski has developed a reputation for crafting music that prioritizes groove, mood, and sonic storytelling. His work often explores the intersection between dancefloor functionality and emotive sound design, resulting in tracks that resonate equally well in club settings and personal listening environments.
With releases that emphasize quality production and a strong artistic identity, he has steadily built a growing audience within the Electronic music community. His sound is influenced by a wide spectrum of Electronic styles, while remaining cohesive and instantly recognizable.
Kashovski – Timbo
‘Timbo’ represents the next step in Kashovski’s artistic journey, signaling a confident and focused direction for future releases, as it showcases his commitment to pushing creative boundaries while staying rooted in the core elements that define his sound: rhythm, atmosphere, and precision. The track reflects an artist who is comfortable refining his vision while continuing to evolve creatively.
The release of ‘Timbo’ is expected to appeal to fans of contemporary Electronic music who value depth, tension, and groove. As Kashovski continues to expand his catalogue, this new single stands as a clear statement of intent and a promising glimpse into what’s ahead.
With more releases planned, Kashovski is positioning himself as a name to watch within the modern Electronic music landscape, so be sure to follow him across social media.

Shimza and Elderbrook reunite on ‘Falling’ out now on Helix Records – a new single that captures the meeting point between emotional weight and forward-moving rhythm.
Released via Helix Records, the single marks the duo’s latest collaboration following the success of 2024’s “Places”, the acclaimed closing track on Elderbrook’s Another Touch album.
Built around Shimza’s unmistakable Afro-tech propulsion, “Falling” unfolds patiently, allowing tension and space to guide the listener before releasing into something quietly powerful.
Elderbrook’s vocal delivery cuts through the groove with intent — expressive yet restrained — creating a dialogue between rhythm and feeling rather than a simple topline moment. The result is a record that balances movement and meaning, designed for late-night dancefloors as much as solitary listens.
Shimza
The release arrives during a defining period for Shimza. Widely recognized as the visionary force behind Kunye, the label and event series that has become a vital platform for African electronic music on the global stage, Shimza has helped reshape how Afro-centric club culture is experienced worldwide.
From landmark events in Johannesburg to London, including a now-legendary B2B with Black Coffee, to upcoming showcases across his home country around Pretoria and Durban, Kunye continues to push boundaries while staying rooted in community and culture.
As an artist, Shimza has amassed a devoted global following through his refined Afro-tech sound and high-profile collaborations with artists including Rachel Chinouriri, Aloe Blacc and Louie Vega.
His career has also been marked by a series of viral, era-defining performances for platforms such as Boiler Room and Cercle, cementing his reputation as one of South Africa’s most influential electronic exports.
Elderbrook, meanwhile, remains one of electronic music’s most compelling voices – a producer and songwriter known for weaving introspection into club-ready frameworks. With a catalogue spanning chart-topping singles, celebrated albums, and collaborations that consistently bridge emotion and energy, his presence on “Falling” feels instinctive rather than incidental.
Together, Shimza and Elderbrook deliver a track that doesn’t rush its impact. “Falling” is deliberate, immersive, and quietly arresting – a record that lingers long after the final beat.
