This is it… The International Radio Festival held between the 9th and 19th of June is now over. Mr. Critical and I had the chance to spend three days in Zurich and had a blast…

A tight organisation, 3 studios (the hotel bar for Normski‘s morning show, the Burn studio on Kalanderplatz for the afternoon shows and the lounge bar at Papiersaal for the evening ones) and plenty of friendly participants representing the best radio stations from all over the world.

“Over 40 of the most groundbreaking and progressive radio stations from the four points of the compass will present more than 50 specially commissioned radio shows live on air, plus a series of exciting party nights featuring some of the world’s most renowned radio DJs.”

On Sunday afternoon, it was our turn to go live on air (more than 6 month after our last FM radio show for FM Brussel) for 3 hours of a freestyle mix including tracks from the LDBK compilation and some Funk / Soul nuggets from the 70′s. Sun was shining and people chilling on the square seemed to enjoy Laid Back vibe. Looking forward to more shows like this one!

Later on we had the chance to meet with those who where attending the first days of the festival: Scanner FM, Ibiza Sonica, Ibiza Global radio, Dublab, P6 Beat, Chris Coco… Too bad we couldn’t stay any longer to meet more of them!

Thank you to Miguel, Darryl & crew for making us feel at home in Zurich. Let’s hope we’ll have the chance to see each other at the 2012 edition of the festival.
