| News | Sonar 2008 review: Raum! Open Air party Posted: 21 Jun 2008 09:33 PM CDT On paper, the Raum! Open Air Party at Barcelona's Velodrome looked set to be one of the best events of Sonar 2008. With Luciano, Loco Dice, Reboot, Craig Richards, M.A.N.D.Y., DJ T, and Martin Buttrich on the line-up and Desolat, Cadenza, Monza Ibiza and Get Physical having joined forces for it, the party would surely be off the hook. But in reality, the Raum! Open Air Party was a bitter disappointment. |
| News | Sonar 2008: Funk D’Void / Francois Dubois interview Posted: 21 Jun 2008 06:45 PM CDT Funk D'Void aka Lars Sandberg relocated from his hometown of Glasgow to Barcelona over 10 years ago and he has witnessed the city's electronic music scene develop.

| News | Is Weird Science Berlin’s best electronic music radio show? Posted: 21 Jun 2008 06:08 PM CDT Good radio shows are hard to come by, at least in Germany. We have no 'Solid Steel', no 'Beats In Space' and we definitely never had a John Peel (R.I.P.), so it's always great to find a new and exciting show somewhere. |
| News | Sonar 2008: Claude VonStroke interview Posted: 21 Jun 2008 04:19 PM CDT San Francisco-based DJ, producer and record label owner Claude VonStroke showed off his producer prowess at the Beatport/Mobilee/Mothership rooftop party yesterday, impressing (and infuriating) British DJ Jesse Rose. "Last night at about 4am we were at this club in Barcelona where they were playing pop and hip hop, and the DJ dropped Damian Barley 'Welcome to Jamrock' - the reggae track with the vocal that goes 'Up in the streets they call it muuuuuurrrdderr!'," Claude VonStroke told Beatportal. "I turned to Jesse and said I'm going to remix that track into a house version and it'll be the biggest track at the rooftop party tomorrow," he said. He was right, check out the video after the jump! |
| News | Sonar 2008: D’Julz top track Posted: 21 Jun 2008 05:53 AM CDT French DJ and producer D'Julz is currently one of the hot names of the underground - his track 'Just So You Know' has been praised by John Digweed and Luciano, and during Sonar 2008 we've heard it in plenty of sets. I bumped into D'Julz at the Beatport/Mothership/Mobilee private rooftop party in Barcelona. "Yeah it's crazy for me to hear that John Digweed played it in every set during his and Sasha's Spring Club Tour of North America," said D'Julz, in his thick French accent. Apart from 'Just So You Know', what track is big for D'Julz right now? |
