What is ubwg and what role do I have in the company?
Unsere Beweggründe (www.ubwg.ch) is an online portal for electronic music and club culture in Switzerland. As editor-in-chief of ubwg.ch, I have been committed to a vibrant Swiss music-, culture- and club scene for many years. The focus of the online magazine is on content that oscillates between music, events and background stories from the bustling electronic music scene. Nightlife plays an important role in society - safe spaces are more important today than ever and should be protected - this is where identities are negotiated. It is important to me to give our colorful nightlife culture a platform and to strengthen it - while at the same time giving it its space.
