Established stars of electronic music
Three of electronic music’s most beloved artists head up the bill at SonarDôme presented by Red Bull this year.
On Thursday, Iranian-born singer Sevdaliza, on a permanent upward trajectory since her first visit to Sónar in 2016, will present her unique take on avant-garde pop and r&b with a show directed by herself.
The Great Hope Design, which incorporates elements of theatre and choreography was developed for the Red Bull Music Festival in Berlin in 2018.
Friday sees the great Lorenzo Senni, a key figure in experimental electronics, perform with his reborn band
Stargate, with a new show of synth music and epic trance falling between the digital and the analogue. New material for the show was created in Red Bull’s traveling studio in Matera, Italy.
Finally, Saturday sees the legendary Detroit DJ and producer Theo Parrish offer a special 3-hour set to close this year's SonarDôme. Replete with rare gems and unorthodox bangers running the spectrum from funk, house, garage and techno, we can’t think of a better way to see off Sónar by Day.
Meet the pacesetters of today
As every year, SonarDôme will also feature young artists and projects that have already taken their first decisive steps on the international circuit.
This is the case of 700 Bliss (the punk-rap duo formed by
Moor Mother and
DJ Haram), the Germany’s
Perel (a new signing to James Murphy's DFA label, whose sound sits between house and new wave), the Mexican duo of experimental electronics and deconstructed club music
LAO & Wasted Fates (members of the Latin collective N.A.A.F.I.), South Africans
DJ Lag (a key producer of Durban's Gqom sound) and
Petite Noir (futuristic afro-pop).
And the vanguard of tomorrow
Once again the national scene will be very well represented with five of the figures that are currently shaping the present of music in Spain: the popular and fantastic andalusian MC Dellafuente, a key figure in musica urbana in Spain; the beatmaker and visual director
Dano; and the three national participants of the Academy of Berlin:
Ylia (playing live, solo, for the first time), the emerging Barcelona producer
Shelly and the Galician
Nistra, electronic alter ego Novedades Carminha guitarist
Anxo Ferreira.
The programme is completed by eleven other emerging artists who have recently passed through the classrooms and studios of the Red Bull Music Academy and who are called upon to mark the future of music in the short term: Sneaks (post-punk and r&b from New York),
Anger (synth-pop and future beats from Austria),
FAKETHIAS (grime and sound contrasts from Norway),
J Colleran (treated pianos and soundscape from Ireland),
Katarzia (avant-garde pop and advanced from the Czech Republic),
Yakamoto Kotzuga (IDM and instrumental hip hop from Italy),
Camille Mandoki (vocal avant-pop from Mexico),
Milan W. (ambient and club music mutants from Belgium) and
vōx (vocally innovative r&b from California).
