Hard Candy - Zurich's Happiest Trance Party

HARD CANDY

HARD CANDY is a high-velocity celebration of "Happy Trance"—a genre-bending fusion of 90s Eurodance nostalgia, shimmering acid, and bouncy techno 🍭🔊. Drawing inspiration from new-wave icons like Marlon Hoffstadt, Malugi, and KI/KI, this night is precision-engineered for maximum dopamine and unapologetic queer joy ⚡️💖.

SPECIAL GUESTS

RIN 🇨🇭 Zurich’s own powerhouse is joining the lineup! RIN is the definition of high-velocity energy, known for her fast, bouncy, and hard-hitting sound.

Expect a set packed with uplifting energy and unapologetic power—she’s here to keep the floor locked in from start to finish! 🎾⚡️

SUNNY 🇨🇭 Also joining the decks is SUNNY, a DJ who radiates warm and euphoric energy on the dancefloor. Her sets move between groovy, trancey, and bouncy sounds, carried by a euphoric flow between lightness and intensity. This is music designed not just to dance to, but to feel.
