Sonar is coming!

The start of March. A time where the winter blues have been nearly overcome, a time where the state of your personal finances no longer resembles a blanket of red numbers and negative figures and a time where people plan to plunge back into a sorry state of affairs by planning their summer excursions. Sonar seems like a good idea as always for us at The Sub Level Sessions. This year the 15th Festival falls on the 19th, 20th and 21st June with a line-up which ensembles everything from all corners of the electronic music world. Expect techno, hip hop, experimental, house and anything else you could imagine in two locations under the Mediterranean sun. Not to mention the ridiculous number of parties in and around Barcelona..... Last year we had great fun and i'm sure this year will repeat of that, so book that cheap flight and get yourselves over...
