He was drumming with Superterz and Sophie Hunger when a studio grant in 2009
took him to Berlin, the place he longed for, where he settled down. The club scene in Zurich had already shaken him up by then. Once he arrived in the lively metropolis, he immediately started playing minimal electro. Also in his favorite club, the Golden Gate. Now (not quite) slow tracks are his thing. The Berliners call it Schnekno. Earthy bass lines and rhythmic sounds permeate his sets.

Oliver Schmid ist DJ, Musiker und Schlagzeuger.
Er trommelte bei Superterz und Sophie Hunger, als ihn ein Atelierstipendium 2009
zu seinem Sehnsuchtsort Berlin spülte, wo er sich festsetzte. Die Clubszene in Zürich rüttelte
ihn bis dahin schon ordentlich durch. Angekommen in der lebendigen Metropole legte er gleich Minimal auf. Auch in seinem Lieblingsclub, dem Golden Gate. Mittlerweile sind (nicht ganz) langsame Tracks sein Ding. Die Berliner nennen es Schnekno. Erdige Basslinien und rhythmische Klänge durchdringen seine Sets.
