About
Daschenka Project's sound is often compared to Jamiroquai or Incognito with a touch of James Brown. The earthy music creates a foundation for lightness, on which Dascha Lüscher, with her charismatic and warm voice, tells of the things in life that we all know: consumer mania and self-optimization, secret desires and hide-and-seek, hardened fronts and the desire for more harmony. Despite the serious topics, Daschenka Project manages to create an atmosphere of courage and confidence.
Daschenka Project not only has a weakness for groove, trip hop, and funk, but also for the eighties. On the debut, Daschenka Project combines the EP "Spinning Round" with "The Eighties Session": five of their favorite songs from the 80s – Simple Minds' "Don’t You (Forget About Me)", "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel, Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game", "Rebel Yell" by Billy Idol, and "Sign o’ the Times" originally by Prince – all rendered in Daschenka Project's signature light-footed style. The collected works will be released under the title "Spinning Round" on May 29, 2023, by the Basel label "Burning Sole" on vinyl and digitally throughout the year. For the studio recordings, she was able to enlist musicians like Michael Chylewski, Jean-Pierre von Dach, and Peter Wagner, who have performed on stage with Joss Stone, Seven, Kunz, Adrian Stern, and Sina, among others.
Even though Dascha is the driving force behind Daschenka Project, she remains humble. Beyond her sense for groovy bass riffs and her multifaceted voice, she sees it as her task to bring the right people together at the right time to create something that the world desperately needs: a sense of togetherness and optimism.
