SME @ The Great Escape, 10 – 13 May 2023

The Great Escape in Brighton – what’s not to like? A great seaside town, just a little ramshackle in just the right sort of way, choc-a-block with music for a whole four days! Plus, countless pubs and a wonderful beach to discuss events and exchange views, seafood restaurants galore, not to mention the famous Brighton […]
SME at The Great Escape, Brighton UK – 11 – 14 May 2022

An artfully ramshackle English seaside town; hordes of unkempt youths with guitars strapped to their backs; armies of beady-eyed seagulls out to steal our sandwiches; and enough music to last the rest of the year and beyond – what’s not to like?

Swiss Music Export will be going, too, and we’re bringing […]
Crimer breaks into the charts and hits the Great Escape

From nowhere, Crimer was all over the Swiss media last year thanks to an irresistibly catchy dollop of synth-pop entitled ”Brotherlove”. So far, the tune has notched up nearly 240’000 youtube clicks. An EP, “Preach”, confirmed the first impressions: here was a sumptuously talented new voice with a thoroughly contemporary take on 1980s synth-pop and […]
A Great Escape for all

Of course, it was pouring down with rain. Of course, the venues were packed to the rafters. Of course, everyone loved every minute of it. Another Great Escape Festival is behind us, and – certainly from the perspective of Swiss Music Export – it was the best ever. Switzerland was the featured country at this […]
