Ten stops to Swiss electro

Inspired by the arrival of the first synthesisers in the 1960s, industrial music in the 70s, the birth of Detroit's legendary techno scene in the mid-80s and the techno explosion in Berlin after the fall of the wall, several generations of artists have helped make Switzerland's superlative electronic music scene known to the world. Here is a sample of Swiss electro over the decades.
