Re: (313) Sonar Festival 2003 dates
Sonar's main attraction is that it's slap bang in the middle of Barcelona. You can go and see a showcase of Mille Plateaux artists in the afternoon, retire to a tapas bar in the lanes for the evening, and then roll up at 3 am to see Jeff Mills. I didn't go in 2002, but the 2001 line-up was remarkable...so much that if you went to see one stage, it was more often than not the case that you were missing something else equally as good. - Original Message - From: Anya Stang [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 313@hyperreal.org Sent: 26 February 2003 10:50 Subject: Re: (313) Sonar Festival 2003 dates I've heard only good things about Sonar.

Their policy is the bring you a variety of artists from all over the world, many of whom you wont have heard before. Just because Mills Hawtin DJ on the last night it doesn't mean that it's all big name DJs.

Oh come on - it is a HUGE festival and its pedigree is enough to make me want to go without needing to see a line-up. A weeks holiday in Barca is enough to entice me anyway.

Re: (313) Sonar Festival 2003 dates
one important thing about sonar: sonar day is great for hearing new exciting music. great atmo. great vibes, and small stages make it very intimate. sonar nite is the other way around alot of people, bad atmo, sound system which sound too hard. not intimate events at all. and again the line up in the nite is for me at least boring. john digweed? carl cox???

Re: (313) Sonar Festival 2003 dates
my view of sonar was that it was essentially a 'music industry' event as with Midem in Cannes, Popkom in Cologne WMC in Miami. Not a festival per se like tribal Gathering, Homelands etc. But as with Miami the general public have become involved due to the extra revenue brought in. This helps to explaining (as per the email below) why the events during the day are nice and intimate, showcasing new old talent, why during the evening they have the 'big players'. -- Phil Vernol Label Manager Peacefrog Ltd Unit 205 Westbourne Studios 242 Acklam Road London W10 5JJ T: +44 207 575 3045 F: +44 207 575 3047 [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: boca_raton [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2003 17:50:29 +0200 To: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: (313) Sonar Festival 2003 dates one important thing about sonar: sonar day is great for hearing new exciting music. great atmo. great vibes, and small stages make it very intimate. sonar nite is the other way around alot of people, bad atmo, sound system which sound too hard. not intimate events at all. and again the line up in the nite is for me at least boring. john digweed? carl cox???
