Clara 3000 at Sónar Festival 2017

Clara Deshayes, better known as Clara 3000, is a French DJ, It Girl, actor and composer. Her sets are known for progressing through various sound spectrums while maintaining a solid coherence, as witnessed by her monthly residence on Rinse FM. Clara prefers simplicity and minimalism to baroque rhythms and sounds that cut across each other: creating a dark, hypnotic sound that is in constant evolution developing from minimal elements.

Derrick Carter is considered to be a leading light of the Chicago House movement and is a reference for underground house music.

Vitalic at Sónar Festival 2017

“Voyager” marks Vitalic’s return to the forefront of the international stage. The French producer, who has legions of fans across the world, has released his fourth album in which he continues to combine the elements that have enabled him to define his music from the very beginning: techno energy, pop melodies, cosmic sounds and the upbeat, speckled eccentricity of acid.

Yung Lean at Sónar Festival 2016

When only 20 years old, Yung Lean, the leader of the Sad Boys collective, demonstrated from the outset wide freedom with the codes of hip-hop and imposed his strong personality, open to a host of influences. After a year of rest and reflection (his only creation was “Crystal Clear Ice” on Adult Swim and a remix), he released a new album in February 2016, “Warlord”, already hailed as a work brimming with hits. Today, Yung Lean is boosting his bass, sharpening his rhythms (closer to techno) and rapping in a more open way, while preserving those melancholic and emotional touches that characterize his earlier works. His show on the stage at Sónar Hall confirms his rapidly growing reputation.

Roots Manuva at Sónar Festival 2016

Universally admired and considered to be one of the foremost hip-hop rappers of our day, Roots Manuva has just created his sixth studio album Bleeds. The singer from Stockwell in South London worked on his new opus with the young English producer, Fred, as well as musical giants like Four Tet, Adrian Sherwood and Switch. Together they have put together an album of sharp and complete compositions, which exude a certain wisdom and obvious mastery of his own language. Manuva takes inspiration from extremely personal soul beats (with samples by Barry White), dub, jazz-funk, and occasionally techno to add spice to his hip-hop. His presence, solo, on the stage of the Sónar Hall has raised the bar even higher this year. Now signed with Big Dada, a Ninja Tune label specializing in hip-hop, Roots Manuva has built a solid career as a rapper with disks such as “Awfully Deep” and Run Come Save Me”, classics of their kind.

Nicola Cruz at Sónar Festival 2016

The work of Nicola Cruz follows a clear line, deriving its inspiration from his native land: the Andes Cordillera (Crus lives and works in Quito). He takes nourishment from the landscapes, the folklore and characteristic sounds of the Cordillera and the Amazon Forest, which he has skillfully incorporated into seductive electronic sounds in his first album Prendar el Alma, presented on stage at the Sónar Hall. Crus began his career as a percussionist before quickly succumbing to a passion for electronic music. His music is an original mix of traditions and technologies, which inspire both the exploration of wide open spaces and intimate, personal introspection.

Howling at Sónar Festival 2016

Behind the code name, “Howling”, is the duo consisting of Ry X and Frank Wiedermann. The feature of most of their compositions is the voice of Ry X, an expressive and charismatic singer whose considerably radical style reflects the name of the group. At his side, Wiedermann develops delicate rhythms and simple melodic structures. The result: an enveloping and majestic sound that reminds one of artists such as Kiasmos, Tourist, Bob Moses or Junior Boys. The duo has recently made it to the prestigious and influential Resident Advisor list of the best live performances of 2015. Their concert at the Sónar Hall will be presented with a spectacular lighting arrangement especially designed for the occasion.
