Sonar,
Barcelona’s international festival of advanced music and new media art,
just announced Sonar On Tour, an eight city tour of North America; it
will be the first time Sonar has undertaken a full tour anywhere in the
world. Sonar On Tour will be led
by some of the most cutting edge artists in electronic music, blending
live performance and DJ sets. Joining Sonar On Tour will be Die
Antwoord, Azari & III, Seth Troxler, Paul Kalkbrenner, Tiga,
Gesaffelstein and Nic Fanciulli.
Sonar
was established as an annual festival in Barcelona in June 1994. Its
founding principle was to blend artistry with entertainment, celebrate
the avant-garde and experimentation, and to explore the boundaries of
electronic music and its cultural iterations. 2012 Sonar headliners
included Fatboy Slim, Deadmau5, Hot Chip, Luciano, The Roots, James
Murphy, Richie Hawtin, Lana Del Rey, Nicolas Jaar, Laurent Garnier and
many more. Sonar On Tour will
present artists challenging and expanding what dance music can be.
Eschewing bubble-gum EDM, the artists joining Sonar On Tour are
uncompromising in their vision for what people can dance to. They are
innovators capable of creating some of the dance floor’s most sublime
and transcendent moments.

About The Artists:
Die Antwoord
returned to Sonar, Barcelona this summer to present their new live
whirlwind, entitled "Ten$Ion." It is a performance that shatters hip-hop
and the rave spirit to smithereens and puts them back together,
according to Die Antwoord’s own formula. On Tour the trio will present
this overwhelming show that exudes futuristic decadence, hedonism,
sarcasm and sexuality.
Azari & III
has revived the original spirit of house, based on vibrant songs and
analog electronic productions, featuring guitar, drums, bass, piano,
wind instruments, and vocals, above all else. A rereading of the
earliest canons of Chicago house, as close to pop as it is to the
dancefloor, their self-titled album ended up in several 2011 best of
lists. Standout tracks like "Hungry for the Power" and "Reckless With
Your Love" have rightly become huge dancefloor anthems.
Paul Kalkbrenner
might be the biggest star American dance floors have never heard of.
Born in Leipzig but based in Berlin, the name of Paul Kalkbrenner, is
closely linked with B-pitch Control, but he started to move masses after
his performance as the lead in the film “Berlin Calling," for which he
also provided the soundtrack. He now sells out stadiums to tens of
thousands, with a singular emotive take on techno that forms the melodic
heart of his live show.
Tiga
is one of North America’s most revered electronic artists. The man
behind albums like “Ciao!”, outstanding tracks like “Pleasure From The
Bass” and “Sunglasses at Night” plus a long list of remixes for top
drawer artists such as The Human League, New Young Pony Club and Cabaret
Voltaire, has kept pushing the envelope since first being discovered. A
champion of all forms of good dance music, and the man behind the
always influential Turbo label, Tiga is a Canadian national treasure.
Seth Troxler
is quite simply one of the most captivating characters of modern dance
music. The Detroit native has won over legions of fans for the
singularity of his vision and inimitable bravado, on and off the decks.
As one quarter of Visionquest, he played a major role in making the
label one of the driving forces in dance music over the past two years.
Whether it is DC10, fabric or Panorama Bar, or even an intimate
after-party, Troxler’s diverse record-bag, and brave selecting style
have made him one of dance music’s fastest rising stars.
Nic Fanciulli
lives and breathes house music. The UK native got his start in
Maidstone, and continues to hold monthly parties there, that have become
regarded as some of Britain’s best. Grammy nominated, Fanciulli is one
of the rare talents, equally adept in-studio as they are behind the
decks. Glance through the discography of his influential Saved Records
imprint, and Nic’s deep knowledge of dance music’s history, and his
knack for spotting the next big hit becomes quickly apparent.
Gesaffelstein
is a sculptor of sound. He takes the minutiae and delivers a grander
structure. Impeccable production is channeled into immersive, rugged
soundscapes, capturing techno’s more apocalyptic elements. His music is
transformative on a dancefloor, far from IDM, its music that pulls you
in with both hands.
