- Okvsho, the Zurich-based electronic jazz duo formed by brothers Georg and Christoph Kiss, has officially signed with ROAM Artists for live representation across the UK, France, Benelux, Spain, Portugal, Norway, Sweden, and Finland.
- Agent Marlon Burton at ROAM will handle bookings across these territories, while the duo continues their existing relationship with Emerged Agency for representation in other markets.
- The signing comes off the back of a sold-out headline show at London’s Jazz Cafe during their 2025 European tour, and ahead of their highly anticipated new album FROZEN FLASHES, set for release on September 18, 2026.
- Okvsho also runs Current Moves, their Zurich-based independent label and platform, through which they release their own music as well as supporting other emerging artists.
Okvsho, the beat-driven, electronic jazz project of Swiss brothers Georg and Christoph Kiss, has joined the roster at ROAM Artists, with agent Marlon Burton taking on live bookings across eight European territories.
Rooted in beat-making, modern jazz, and electronic music, the Zurich-based duo has carved out a cult following since their Traphouse Jazz EP in 2018 and debut album Kamala’s Danz in 2020.
Projects like Orange Wine and A Place Between Us, released via their own label Current Moves, earned them a loyal international audience and heavy vinyl collector attention.
A landmark 2025 European headline tour, which included a sold-out show at London’s iconic Jazz Cafe, confirmed that Okvsho’s momentum was real. That tour convinced the brothers to return to the studio with a sharper sense of direction. The result is FROZEN FLASHES, their forthcoming album due September 18, 2026.
Live, the duo leads the five-piece Okvsho +experience band, built around improvisation and the idea of jazz as dance music, featuring Sara El Hachimi (saxophone & flute), Bérénice Awa (percussion), Elias Kirchgraber (bass), and Moritz Werner on sound.
This signing follows a fast-growing pattern of European jazz and electronic artists finding a home at ROAM, much like Isaac Levi’s recent signing with the agency and Mel Blue’s EU deal with ROAM, signaling the agency’s clear appetite for forward-thinking independent artists from across the globe.
They continue with Emerged Agency for representation outside the newly covered territories.
Takeaways
This is a smart, well-timed move. Okvsho aren’t chasing hype, they’ve built slowly, stayed independent, and now they’re stepping into a wider European circuit at exactly the right moment: a sold-out London show already behind them and a major album launch ahead.
Landing at ROAM, the world’s largest independent booking agency, gives them the infrastructure to match their ambition without surrendering the identity that made fans fall in love with them in the first place.
The fact that they’re retaining Emerged Agency for other markets shows real strategic thinking. This isn’t a full switch, it’s a deliberate expansion.
Does Okvsho’s ROAM deal hint at a broader wave of jazz-rooted acts breaking into mainstream European festivals? Will ROAM’s infrastructure accelerate the reach of their Current Moves label, bringing other Swiss artists along for the ride?
