  "textContent": "For the 12th time, IndieSuisse, the association of independent Swiss music labels and producers, has honoured Switzerland’s independent music creators the IndieSuisse Album of the Year Award for the twelfth time. The awards ceremony took place on Saturday evening as part of the m4music Festival.\n\nThis year’s winners are:\n\n**IndieSuisse «Album of the Year 2025 Award»**\nLabel: Les Disques Bongo Joe\nArtist: **Sami Galbi**\nAlbum: _Ylh Bye Bye_\n\n**IndieSuisse «Song of the Year 2025 Award»**\nLabel: Humus Records\nArtist: **Baby Volcano**\nSong: _Olor a Fogata_\n\n**IndieSuisse «Impact 2025 Award»**\nLabel: Humus Records\nArtist: **eli zoé**\nAlbum: _shifting forms_\n\nNegative White was part of the expert jury which decided on the Album of the Year award.\n\n### **Fabienne Schmuki with special honour**\n\nOver the past 15 years, Fabienne Schmuki has had a lasting impact on the Swiss music scene. As co-CEO of the Zurich-based Irascible office, she was responsible for the company’s strategic direction and, together with her team, provided significant impetus in the areas of PR and A&R. “Her expertise helped bring numerous independent artists to the fore, including many acts that gained new attention thanks to her meticulous and forward-thinking work,” writes IndieSuisse in its press release.\n\nSchmuki’s commitment extended beyond day-to-day business: in 2014, she was the sole FLINTA co-founder of the industry association indieSuisse, where she served on the board until the end of 2025. She was also involved with Helvetiarockt and in various working groups on equality and sustainability within the European indie association IMPALA.\n\nFollowing the sale of her stake in Irascible and her resignation from her association role, Fabienne Schmuki has taken on a new senior position at Swiss Music Export.",
