Sonar 06

yours trustworthy half sickgirl was sent to barcelona to check out this years edition of sonar, whilst the other half was collecting some real dizzee sweat. YEAH ! BIG UP BIG D AND MY BELOVED SECOND HALF YOU RULE!

here´s a quick sum up of what i noticed :

minimal : all the clubs booking minimal pretend they don´t do it because they like it , but because they have to. they most certainly believe its dead - haha
well - if i remember correctly there where about ten parties each night featuring some more or less minimal tech house.

uffie + feadz : since we were not able to see them perform at the last revolution cause we had to spin ourselves - i had to check them out again : coming to the conclusion : uffie is really 18. and a great mc.
and feadz beats are just unbeatable. so fabien : what do you think about a collabo ?
but : VICE PARTIES SUCK!

dj rupture : was the only one in the whole barcelona circus throwing a minimal alternative . for as less as 1 euro entrance this was a damn blast of better beats then the whole rest of them parties.

diplo vs a trak : handling turntables as if they were machinedrums. beastie boys mashing up juelz santana , carioca videos providing beats for vybz cartel. 3000 people watching. nice one !

sonar : one thing that really really is not understandable for me : why did you invite ugly duckling and digable planets? i mean big up to those guys no doubt - damn great classical hiphop. but they´re dinosaurs man - and hello ? what is sonar about - did i hear somebody say : new music? so if there´s somebody in charge - here´s someone to provide you with some nice lil recommendations
