Penultimate surprise from the
Sonar camp. Barcelona’s festival of Advanced Music and Multimedia Art has just teamed up with
Bleep (you know, the online shop that popped up midway through the last decade as the digital arm of
Warp Records) to offer you good music. Just as you read. From this every day till the middle of June, Sonar offers, via Bleep.com, the download of a sample of the work of some of the most interesting current British artists performing at the coming edition of the festival.
Starting now you can
find the first two of a series of downloads, among which there are previously released tracks from
Fuck Buttons and
2020 Soundsystem, and, a lot more interestingly, exclusive songs from Roska (brand-new track "124 Miles"),
King Midus Sound (an alternative and previously unpublished version of "Outerspace"),
The Blessings ("Hot Song"),
Broadcast ("Elegant Elephant"),
Sandwell District ("Silent Servant") and
Hudson Mohawke ("Snap Dragon"). All this, at the rate of two songs per week
here, so you arrive happily at Sónar 2010 and your ears well prepared. If you haven’t got your tickets yet, get them
here.
Here you’ll find a preview of what’s coming soon.
