EarPipe’s Last Minute, One Page Sonar 2009 Guide
Thursday, June 18th, 2009 | Event Preview

Its just gone midnight on Wednesday night… so no time for an in depth Sonar preview. So here it is in a business like bullet point format:
Thursday
Catch Konono No1 blast out some congo riddems. Seen videos and the look fun!
If you’re invited hit the Mobilee rooftop pool party at Hotel Diagonal
For the night time hit the Minimal Nation launch party at Nitsa with Robert Hood, Ben Klock and James Ruskin
If rinsing techno is not your thing then either try 8Bit Vs Bloop at Sugar Beach Club with Nick Curly or maybe Club4 at City Hall with Audion Live, Marco Carola and Paco Osuna
The other biggie is of course Luciano, Loco Dice and Martin Buttrich at Kanna Beach Club!

Friday
If you’re looking for something to do in the early hours of Friday morning then check out Kubicle. The London party are down at Macarena with Pier Bucci.
Friday day I guess its worth checking out La Roux on the Huw Stephens BBC Introducing showcase.
On the same showcase Micachu and The Shapes also looks really interesting. Rule Britania!
If you’re not at Sonar then the 10 years of BPitch Control boat party is on from 7am till 4pm. If not the boat then there is the beach party at Baila La Playa
In terms of Sonar night activities I guess its worth checking out the two pop headliners. See new comer Little Boots to see what the hype is about and also old skooler Grace Jones to see what the hype was about.
Other than that it’s disco disco disco! James Murphy and Pat Mahoney do a disco set in the SonarClub arena, whilst Erol Alkan does his Disco 3000 thing at SonarLab.
O did we forget to mention Richie Hawtin is playing? As always he’ll be present at Sonar, but only for two hours and from 2am! Sonar sort it out!
If being in a massive arena space isn’t your thing then the Kompakt party at Nitsa looks ridiculously good. Gui Burrato, DJ Koze and Superpitcher. Need I say more?

Saturday
As for Saturday day. I’m not to sure what to check out. Culoe de Song on Innervisions is closing the SonarDome so that will be worth checking. Also Busy P should be rinsing the French filter sound in the SonarVillage.
Then at night is where its really going down. The definitive must is Orbital.
Then after that Jeff Mills is supposed to be doing a special AV set
Carl Craig will be closing the SonarPub which sure to be amazing
Marcel Dettmann and Tadeo are substitutes for the techno big boys but i’m sure they’ll deliver a great show
And if you can squeeze them in, Moderat would be good to catch going on the strength of their new album
Off Sonar, BPitch are still continuing their 10 year celebrations at Nitsa.
But if you’re sick of the sight of them lot then Radioslave and co are down at BeCool or GetPhysical showcase DJ T, Lazarus and Matthew Dear at Wip. Both lookers if you ask me.

Sunday
Should I type on? Its been three days already surely there can’t be any more.
Well firstly Secretsundaze do their Sunday thing at La Terrazza with Ame and Dixon!!!!
But also contends with Ricardo Villalobos and Cassy at Kanna club. What a way to close out the weekend.
Mond… no I’ll stop now. Before I make myself ill.
