    • Rosanna Grüter
      Rosanna doesn't like labels. Growing up in downtown Zurich—back then a melting pot of young intellectuals and the early Street Parade, an open heroin scene, and the feminist strike movement—she absorbed two things from the moment she was born: politics and music. While her mother demonstrated on the streets for Swiss women’s rights and her brother learned the art of playing the dulcimer at the jazz conservatory, Rosanna found her niche in the electronic music and club culture of her hometown—as a DJ, media professional, and activist. “Rave is my utopia,” she says. “Nowhere else do people meet on such equal footing as at 6 a.m. on the dance floor.” Rosanna works tirelessly to ensure that electronic music remains a boundless space for connection: As a booker at Zurich’s Club Klaus, through her commitment to greater diversity in nightlife (such as the series “Call me DJ!” about women in techno for ARD), and especially through her DJ sets, which successfully defy any pigeonholing. “I don’t like rigid genre boundaries,” she says, “I play Alice-in-Wonderland-Bubble-Funk-Techno!”
