Introduction
Sirion Records is an independent Swiss electronic music label based in Bern and Zurich. Founded in 2004 by DJs and producers Fedja Haueter (Feodor), Franco Rüegger (Frango), and Patrick Stucki (Bird), the imprint is still passionately curated and managed by its three founders today. The label's musical identity is deeply rooted in the multifaceted underground club culture. Sirion Records' output is defined by a distinct, warm, and driving sound profile that organically moves between Deep House, Tech House, Organic House, Progressive House and warm Techno.
The Roots: DJ Mixes, Events, and Radio (from 2004)
The history of Sirion Records began right at the foundation of the electronic music scene. Starting in 2004, the collective initially focused on curating and releasing DJ mixes that documented their shared musical vision. In parallel, Sirion established its own event series, which quickly became a staple for the local scene. These events laid the foundation from which the current label could grow. This presence was complemented by their own FM and online radio show, "The Trip," which remained a permanent fixture in the Swiss radio landscape for a decade.
Label Launch and Release Philosophy (from 2007)
The year 2007 marked the official launch as a release label. From the very beginning, Sirion Records pursued a stringent A&R philosophy: the label provides a platform for both emerging and established local artists, with their original productions flanked by remixes from high-profile international artists. These international collaborations are the result of authentic networking: through bookings at their own label nights, the founders specifically invited artists whose musical output inspired them. These encounters cultivated a robust, international network built on mutual respect, which continues to shape the label's sound catalog to this day.
Vinyl Imprint
Their deep connection to audiophile DJ culture manifested in the launch of their own vinyl series. With this step, Sirion Records transformed timeless tracks into physical collector's items. The vinyl imprint is specifically targeted at DJs, selectors, and aficionados, bringing the warm, analog character of their House and Techno productions in a tactile format straight to the record bags of the scene.
Milestone: Kellerkind – Disco on the Dancefloor
A pivotal milestone in Sirion Records' discography is the release of SR030: "Disco on the Dancefloor" by Kellerkind. The track rapidly evolved into an international club hit, generating massive global feedback and securing heavy support from renowned tastemakers worldwide. To this day, this release stands as a prime example of the uncompromising standard of production quality and the pinpoint dancefloor focus that defines Sirion Records.
Current Focus
Today, the label’s focus is more resolute than ever on its core competence: releasing high-quality electronic music. Sirion Records remains true to its original mission, acting as a musical bridge between the vibrant Swiss scene and the international electronic music landscape. With full dedication to A&R and artist development, the imprint stands for authentic, club-oriented releases - driven by musical integrity, a fine sense for detail, and an enduring devotion to the perfect groove.
