PJ Wassermann is a Swiss-born, psychedelically inspired composer, performer and producer, living partly in Switzerland and partly on the island of Ibiza. He’s been into electronic music for more than 40 years but he also loves to sing and to play guitar. You can book him to play live.
Live guitar psychedelic chillout
In the last five years PJ Wassermann has concentrated on playing live his psychedelic chillout music („psyChill“ / „psybient“). The live repertoire comes from his album „Space Drone Salad“, released in 2014. All these songs have changed a lot from the original album versions to the current live versions, the latter now being released as a string of singles for the streaming audience.

Schaltkreis Wassermann
As early as 1982 PJ Wassermann has been getting accolades in electronic music for his cult album PSYCHOTRON by „Schaltkreis Wassermann“, together with his late wife and singer Stella Wassermann. „Schaltkreis Wassermann“ in the early 80s was fully electronic and experimental. In 2018 it has been revived with the new EP “2600noise” which is more danceable. New singles are getting released regularly since 2020. The music of Schaltkreis Wassermann has been getting remixed by names like Daniele Baldelli, I-Robots, Dynamicron, Benedikt Frey and In Flagranti.

Matterhorn Project
In 1985 the duo of Stella & PJ scored a couple of top ten hits under the name of „Matterhorn Project“. MUH! by Matterhorn Project is unique in pop history. There are cows singing and bells tingling, yodelling and alpine horns, all supported by an infectious eigthies disco-beat and a slightly spaced-out sense of humour. The track stormed the Swiss and international charts in 1985 and got known and loved for its sense of comedy and tongue-in-cheek citing of Swiss clichés.

Eternal Bliss
Under the name of „Eternal Bliss“, from 2010 to 2017, PJ Wassermann has been very active playing live guitar psyTrance music at festivals and parties in Switzerland, Sweden, Germany, India, Portugal and Spain. But finally he got a bit bored by psyTrance that has become more and more formulaic. But you never know. More info here: www.eternalbliss-psytrance.com
LIVE PROJECTS
After many years of working only in the studio, in the last 10 years I’ve concentrated on live music which is mostly composed and produced by myself. I have three different live projects:
ChillyTrippyDippy
This is my psyChill live set, with guitar and vocals, often with trippy visuals by VJ Asteriza and sometimes with additional musicians and dancers. It’s amazing! Book me for your party, club or festival!

Schaltkreis Wassermann
The oldest of my current music projects, with the 1982 cult album PSYCHOTRON and still going strong. In 2017 the album “Early 80s” was released with previously unreleased material from the early stages of Schaltkreis Wassermann. In 2018 there was the EP “Non Stop Electronic Music” with four completely new tracks. Since December 2019 Schaltkreis Wassermann is releasing new tracks regularly, starting with ‘Wasserfall” and “Danny’s Run”.

Eternal Bliss live guitar psyTrance
I used to play live psyTrance at parties and festivals. Now for my taste psyTrance has become too formulaic. I still play it if you want to book me but currently I don’t invest any energy into new tracks.

MUSIC RELEASES
In the studio I’m always working on new tracks. I like to work on different songs at a time and then put them aside for a while to pick them up later again and make great albums for you to enjoy!
But most importantly I love to play live all over the world so if you want me to play at your party, club or festival then please get in touch!
Looking forward to hearing from you.
