She doesn't like labels. Growing up in downtown Zurich – a melting pot of young intellectuals, the early Street Parade, an open heroin scene, and feminist strike movements – she absorbed two things with her mother’s milk: politics and music. While her mother demonstrated on the streets for women's rights in Switzerland and her brother learned the art of hammer dulcimer playing at the jazz conservatory, Rosanna found her niche in electronic music and the club culture of her hometown – as a DJ, media professional, and activist. “Rave is my utopia,” she says. “Nowhere else do people meet on equal footing like at 6 a.m. on the dancefloor.” Rosanna tirelessly works to keep electronic music a boundless space for encounters: through her radio shows (formerly the electronic music special on Swiss radio, now «Swiss Selection» on the German station sunshine live), her efforts to promote more diversity in nightlife (such as the series «Call me DJ!» about women in techno for ARD), and especially through her DJ sets, which successfully defy any labels. “I don’t like strict genre boundaries,” she says, “I play Alice-in-Wonderland bubble funk techno!”
