TONIC
​
In music the tonic is more than just a note—it’s the root - the foundation that gives structure, direction, and meaning. It’s where harmony begins and where it resolves, a home base.
For TONIC, the berlin based quintet led by guitarist and composer Ramiro Olaciregui, the name is a reference for exactly this - reconnecting with his own gravitational center in music and life. The compositions draw from Ramiro’s personal musical DNA, blending elements of rock, pop, and funk within a modern jazz setting to create a sound that is distinctly his own.​
​
TONIC's Debut Album is set to be released in 2026​​

NAJALYST
Najalyst is a Berlin-based rock band led by guitarist and songwriter Ramiro Olaciregui. A jazz musician, but lifelong fan of rock and metal, Ramiro founded Najalyst to reconnect with the music that first inspired him as a kid.
The name Najalyst plays on the German word “naja”, often used to express doubt or mild skepticism. This sense is reflected not just in the name, but in the music, shaping the band’s creative direction.
Najalyst’s songs explore themes of inner conflict, self-reflection, and the challenge of navigating life’s gray areas. Najalyst's sound is shaped by the energy of alternative prog rock with a nuance of jazz. The carefully crafted songs feel relatable and resonate beyond the surface. ​​

World Citizen Band
​​​
The World Citizen Band is an international contemporary jazz ensemble. The name of this group makes reference to the current situation of a large number of musical communities over the world, in which the constant interaction between musicians of different nationalities becomes growingly evident. The five current members of this group all have a nomadic lifestyle, having migrated from their country of origin in search of a broader view and understanding of the ever-changing musical world of jazz. It is fair to say that they are all “citizens of the world”.​
Their latest release is “Antares”. The star ‘Antares’ is also known as ‘Heart of The Scorpion’, has long been admired for its fiery, passionate energy. Inspired by this celestial body, the band’s music undoubtedly shares the star’s name and its bold radiance. Uniting cultures through music, WCB’s spirited high-octane contemporary jazz is performed with style and substance by Uri Gurvich (saxophone), Ramiro Olaciregui (guitar), Marcos Merino (piano), Kenneth Dahl Knudsen (double bass), and Rodolfo Zuniga (drums).
