The lazy club is a listening format by Dampfzentrale Bern, in which the venue’s foyer is filled with DJ sets by various local, national, and occasionally international figures from cultural and music scenes (musicians, curators, journalists, artists, concertgoers, DJs, …). The lazy club — neither Elevator Music nor Diskoteka — is a space for active listening, where personal reference systems, rabbit holes and (guilty) pleasures can be shared and appreciated. The format offers a low-threshold and cosy opportunity for social connection in collective attentiveness.
Normally, the lazy club takes place on the third Sunday of each month as a standalone event at Dampfzentrale. However, an additional edition called lazy club – reach and release will be held as part of the opening of the Swiss Dance Days 2026.

Biographies

Aya Metwalli (b. 1988, Cairo) is a singer born into an orchestra that never tunes. The city taught her music the hard way: car horns striking like brass knuckles, busted loudspeakers spilling discordant calls to prayer, and street vendors hollering the dead awake. She learned the piano to silence the noise, picked up a guitar to wear her heart on the strings, and took up electronics to turn bad electricity into song. Her music is an expressionist lament; her voice quivers as it conquers. Onstage, she doesn’t perform as much as confess: an intimate gesture, a bare nerve amplified, a slow burn with an aftertaste of tristesse.

Nelly Hello music and dj sets are chaotic, textural, pop, noisey, fun and sad. A moment to welcome the flow of constant change. She performed with her musical project around Switzerland in venues such as Les Urbaines, Festival de la cité or Endless bazaar.

Aunty and Noblesse are the heart and soul of up and coming band Sirens Of Lesbos. From rap heavyweight JID and funk icon Bootsy Collins to NTS resident dreamcastmoe, Drake-backed newcomer SadBoi, and Kendrick Lamar collaborator Zacari, Sirens Of Lesbos bridge generations and genres with ease. After live tours across the EU and UK, they now bring that global energy to the booth: Aunty’s and Noblesse’s DJ sets are steeped in the diasporic underground – weaving UK funky, Egyptian mahraganat, Caribbean dembow, East African shaabi and more into unpredictable, floor-shaking journeys. Each set is a community event, a space to reconnect, recharge, and move together.
