What is Sonar?

Electronic music, dance sounds, conferences, exhibitions, museum format, discussion panel, record market, meeting point for professionals… Sónar is all this and more. Held in Barcelona, Spain.

The line ups were announced the other day, and there's a nice mix of talent - I'm gonna be there and i'm very excited! ;)
