The first edition of a new gathering landed a dancefloor in a medieval town – a gathering based on cooperation, freedom and creative expression. Bestivals pals were there to collect memories and images to share with us. #bestivalscollaborations Photos by Zinha and Joy Zinha @ Waking Life Waking Life by Joy

…that have been leading us from ever since. Tonight is the night where machines take over, where life imitates fiction far more than fiction imitates life. Put your glasses on, as for our human eyes have never been ready for this. Since 1969, they demonized whatever we called music and that would never be the same again. Ladies and gentleman, the robots will…

Up North, early August, for the past 11 years, there is a place called love protected by the walls of a fort. It’s not safe prosaic uneventful love – either all in or nothing at all.

Last day turned into last night turned into morning after. Sonar is insatiable and so are we. Black Madonna asked us “Without love where would we be now” and was definitely the queen of the night (watch the full set) And if we have to name a king, that would’ve been king Vitalic.

From then on, all we did was listening, all we did was dancing. Props to Floorplan with techno veteran Robert Hood and his prodigious daughter Lyric Hood. True family…

Do you want to take the best of Sonar week in Barcelona? Then you must have a good friend who knows about good music and, especially, who recognises when a good good party is coming up.

SÓNAR D+ Poder-se-ia à primeira vista olhar para o Sónar apenas pela sua oferta musical, mas esta seria uma visão míope. Desde a sua origem que o Sónar se posicionou como um Festival de Música Avançada e Artes Multimédia, um epítome da cultura digital onde os exploradores mais dedicados ao futuro se pudessem reunir, trocar impressões, conhecimento, criar sinergias e…

Em época alta de festivais, navegamos por som. Sustemos o fôlego e lançamo-nos ao Sónar em Barcelona. Procuramos novidades, explorar a fundo a paisagem cultural que um só festival desta natureza pode trazer, belas esculturas de uns e zeros, visuais, sonoras, tácteis. A cidade não é nova. Mas transforma-se com a reverberação da energia das cerca de 120 mil pessoas…
