Läder & Läder Easy to use. This starting sentence pretty much reflects us guys from Biel-Downtown.🔐 Our genres starts with Tech House go over Deep House and end either in Funky Tech or Techno. We met each other at a tennis camp and felt in love on a Day-Dance in Zurich before we took off. 🎶
Sandro, the bigger and stronger one, was already on his own before “Läder & Läder”. He already sounded the audience with smoove deep house transitions in his younger years.
Nino, the nicer and younger one, ignited his passion laid down regular sets over 8 hours.
