Never mind!<\/span><br><br>But on this day I could feel it again: those faded but never extinguished memories of all those great bands and DJs, the concerts and festivals that made me so happy since my teenage years and became my inner drive to be part of this culture by organising concerts myself.<br><br>After I decided to become active again as a promoter, I spent many nights trying to remember what actually my talent, my \"handwriting\" was.<br><br>What are the ingredients to make people happy? How can one night turn into an unforgettable moment? What makes the small but subtle and distinguished difference to other events?<br><br>After many years of being an active player, i had the chance to watch it from the outside and  i have come to my conclusion:<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-012801d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"012801d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Preserving the passion, the fun and playful side of Rock'n'Roll - that's the winning key!<br><br>Step by step, I approached my goal. I wanted to compose this night anew, arranging it in a refreshing way with unfamiliar and well-known but newly defined elements: 360 degrees in one go.<br><br>And so this small but fine event was born, bringing together the \"Cr\u00e8me de la Cr\u00e8me\" of Soul, Ska, Rhythm'n'Blues and 60's Garage.<br><br>What was still missing was the festivals ambassador, which would become my quality trademark. And suddenly there was this little action hero, who turns the music scene upside down, creating a new magic potion of HIGH FIDELITY, LOW CASH &amp; FINEST ENTERTAINMENT!<br><br>\nI called my good friend and most talented graphic artist Marcel Bontempi and said: Are you ready boots? Oh hell yes, he was!<br><br>\nAnd so, once more, a very inspiring cooperation ignited and a brand new chapter was born:<br><br>THE WHIP!<br><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd0f14c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"fd0f14c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.23.0 - 25-07-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"543\" src=\"https:\/\/en.thewhip.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/thewhip25-sketches-768x543.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-1099\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/en.thewhip.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/thewhip25-sketches-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/en.thewhip.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/thewhip25-sketches-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/en.thewhip.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/thewhip25-sketches-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/en.thewhip.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/thewhip25-sketches-1536x1086.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/en.thewhip.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/thewhip25-sketches-2048x1448.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5db1c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5db1c6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/marcel_bontempi\/\" target=\"_blank\">Art credits:<br>Marcel Bontempi<br><\/a><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5e641f5 elementor-view-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon\" data-id=\"5e641f5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-icon elementor-animation-shrink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/marcel_bontempi\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fab-instagram\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M224.1 141c-63.6 0-114.9 51.3-114.9 114.9s51.3 114.9 114.9 114.9S339 319.5 339 255.9 287.7 141 224.1 141zm0 189.6c-41.1 0-74.7-33.5-74.7-74.7s33.5-74.7 74.7-74.7 74.7 33.5 74.7 74.7-33.6 74.7-74.7 74.7zm146.4-194.3c0 14.9-12 26.8-26.8 26.8-14.9 0-26.8-12-26.8-26.8s12-26.8 26.8-26.8 26.8 12 26.8 26.8zm76.1 27.2c-1.7-35.9-9.9-67.7-36.2-93.9-26.2-26.2-58-34.4-93.9-36.2-37-2.1-147.9-2.1-184.9 0-35.8 1.7-67.6 9.9-93.9 36.1s-34.4 58-36.2 93.9c-2.1 37-2.1 147.9 0 184.9 1.7 35.9 9.9 67.7 36.2 93.9s58 34.4 93.9 36.2c37 2.1 147.9 2.1 184.9 0 35.9-1.7 67.7-9.9 93.9-36.2 26.2-26.2 34.4-58 36.2-93.9 2.1-37 2.1-147.8 0-184.8zM398.8 388c-7.8 19.6-22.9 34.7-42.6 42.6-29.5 11.7-99.5 9-132.1 9s-102.7 2.6-132.1-9c-19.6-7.8-34.7-22.9-42.6-42.6-11.7-29.5-9-99.5-9-132.1s-2.6-102.7 9-132.1c7.8-19.6 22.9-34.7 42.6-42.6 29.5-11.7 99.5-9 132.1-9s102.7-2.6 132.1 9c19.6 7.8 34.7 22.9 42.6 42.6 11.7 29.5 9 99.5 9 132.1s2.7 102.7-9 132.1z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-be8fa41 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"be8fa41\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"649\" height=\"809\" src=\"https:\/\/en.thewhip.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/TW_History_Whip.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-3052\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/en.thewhip.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/TW_History_Whip.jpg 649w, https:\/\/en.thewhip.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/TW_History_Whip-241x300.jpg 241w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 649px) 100vw, 649px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Birth of THE WHIP!
