Yep, this year was my second trip to Sonar.
Highlights of Sonar by Day:
Dorian Concept
The Wizard
Raster Noton (Byetone and Alva Noto were probably my two favourite performances of the festival)
Konono No1
By Night:
Shed + Marcel Dettmann
Fever Ray
Richie Hawtin
Carl Craig
Jeff Mills (minus the sound fuck-ups)
and of course SonarMatica
For me its the ideal festival. No camping, well organised, diverse line-up and sunshine. The location is great too, with a fine array of cheap eating and drinking within stumbling distance.
My only criticism is that Sonar by Night felt a little emptier than last year. Ricardo Villalobos and Contakt in the main outdoor area drew immense crowds last year. The headliners didn't seem to attract the same level of attention this time around.
