Kalabrese is a prominent figure in Zurich's nightlife, known for his multifaceted roles as a DJ, producer, promoter, and club owner. Over the past decade, he has made a significant impact on the music scene, particularly with his unique production style. His 2004 release, "Chicken Fried Rice," on Perlon and his 2007 debut album "Rumpelzirkus" garnered attention beyond Switzerland, showcasing a blend of minimalism, organic funk rhythms, and song-oriented structures. "Rumpelzirkus" received critical acclaim within the independent dance music community worldwide. In 2007 and 2008, Kalabrese toured extensively across Europe and North America with his live band, the Rumpelorchestra, performing in cities such as Barcelona, Berlin, Montreal, and Zurich. The Rumpelorchestra features Kalabrese on drums, vocals, and synth, alongside Valentino Tomasi (synths, laptop, vocals), Michael Flury (trombone), Marton di Katz (bass, guitar), and special guests including Benjamin Danech (trumpet), Evelinn Trouble (vocals), and Kutti MC (poetry, rap). A new album is anticipated for release in early 2009. For contact, reach out to sacha at kalabrese dot com.
