Bananafishbones DJ (2025)

Born in the occult and decadent city of poets and dockworkers (Trieste, Italy), but in Switzerland for almost a decade, DJ Bananafishbones founded the Dark Disco party label in 2019 to add a touch of darkness to Winterthur's already vibrant music scene. Geboren in der okkulten und dekadenten Stadt der Dichter und Hafenarbeiter (Triest, Norditalien), aber seit fast einem Jahrzehnt eingebürgert in W

interthur, gründete DJ Bananafishbones 2019 das Partylabel Dark Disco, um die ohnehin schon lebendige Winterthurer Musikszene noch eine Spur dunkler zu gestalten. Seit Mai 2022 gehören Dark Disco Partys zum vielfältigen Programm des bekannten Albani und seit 2023 bringt das Projekt Dark Disco Festival zweimal im Jahr Schweizer und internationale Acts auf die Bühne. Als Resident-DJ von Dark Disco mischt Bananafishbones gerne Post Punk, Indie Rock, Dark Wave und Synth Wave bis hin zu EBM und Dark Electro, jedoch stark vermischt mit Italo Disco und 80er Jahre Pop Atmosphäre. Ihr DJ-Name ist eine Hommage an die Wurzeln der Schwarzes Szene, angelehnt an den eigenartigen Song von The Cure, der selbst eine Anspielung auf Salingers "Ein perfekter Tag für Bananafish" ist. In der Kurzgeschichte erzählt der Protagonist "das sehr tragische Leben" des fiktiven Bananafish, kurz bevor er sich in den Kopf schiesst: die Fische fressen sich an Bananen, ihrer Lieblingsspeise, satt, werden zu gross, um aus ihren Fresslöchern zu entkommen, und sterben.

Born in the occult and decadent city of poets and dockworkers (Trieste, northern Italy), but a naturalized citizen of Winterthur for almost a decade, DJ Bananafishbones founded the Dark Disco party label in 2019 to add a touch of darkness to Winterthur's already vibrant music scene. Since May 2022, Dark Disco parties have been part of the varied program of the well-known Albani and since 2023, the Dark Disco Festival project has brought Swiss and international acts to the stage twice a year. As Dark Disco's resident DJ, Bananafishbones likes to mix post punk, indie rock, dark wave and synth wave through to EBM and dark electro, but with a strong mix of Italo disco and 80s pop atmosphere. Her DJ name is an homage to the roots of the alternative scene, borrowed from the peculiar song by The Cure, which itself is an allusion to Salinger's "A Perfect Day for Bananafish". In the short story, the protagonist recounts "the very tragic life" of the fictional Bananafish just before he shoots himself in the head: the fish gorge themselves on bananas, their favorite food, grow too big to escape from their feeding holes, and die.

These are the tracks I played at the

🕳️Januarloch Party🎉
before and after Fiji The band 🏝️
📅24.01.2025 📌 Lokal Winterthur

Better late than never, they say! Sorry for taking so long, had a super busy start of the year!

🎧 Before and after FIJI's live concert in Lokal, the Bar that hosted our first 3 editions of Dark Disco Festival, I tried to get everybody nostalgic with some classics and some Italo disco tunes. I even managed to sneak in some old school Run-D.M.C., 'cause this set is MY recital, I think it's very vital, and to rock a track, that's right on time.. IT'S TT-TTRICKYYY😜

🎶 At the decks next to me, the wonderful Ciarfaglia Sandro made us dance too by the way. Thank you 🌹

📅 On Saturday 1st of March I was invited to join "Le Grand Final" party in Geneve at Le Zoo / Usine for Le Projet 366 but that's another setlist for another post.✨ (Coming soon)
