Few people have been as important to French electronic music as Busy P. Pedro Winter discovered the Parisian rave scene in 1992 and, in the mid-90s, his Hype parties at Le Palace saw the birth of what became known as the French Touch, with Daft Punk, Dimitri from Paris and Motorbass behind the decks. For 12 years he was Daft Punk’s manager and confidant, and in 2003 he founded Ed Banger Records, the label that launched Justice, SebastiAn, Mr. Oizo, Breakbot and Uffie. As a DJ, he has played the world’s biggest festivals and shared the decks with Erol Alkan, James Murphy and Laurent Garnier; in 2024, he took part in the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics.

Alongside him will be Girl Ultra, a Mexico City-born singer, songwriter and creative who has spent years breaking down the boundaries of Latin r&b. Her world has always moved between the club, overdriven guitars and the after-hours. Her new album, RRRomeo, produced with Chromeo, is all about dancefloor sweat, indie sleaze spirit and new wave synths.

His experience and her audacity promise an eclectic, unapologetic set. Busy P returns to Sónar for the fifth time, extending a long and fruitful relationship with the festival; Girl Ultra, meanwhile, makes her debut. Let the party begin.
