Sónar 2015 adds new artists to its line-up, including Skepta, Floating Points, Francesco Tristano, Lorenzo Senni, J.E.T.S. (Jimmy Edgar and Machinedrum) and Rone

Who are these lineup additions, you ask? Sónar by Day will host the 4-deck J.E.T.S. project from the iconic Jimmy Edgar and Machinedrum. The two distinguished producers join together under the J.E.T.S. alias to create awe-inspiring syncopated rhythms.

The Italian sound investigator and exceptional talent Lorenzo Senni will bring his own particular deconstruction of 90s rave music (hardcore, trance) with his typical visually striking concert. Meanwhile, Finnish friends Jimi Tenor & Jori Hulkkonen will play the “Nuntius” soundtrack live, the silent science fiction film  that they directed which will, of course, be screened during the performance.

The nightly additions are just as sweet. Sónar by Night adds several prominent figures from today’s dance music scene to its stages, including: French producer Rone, who will present songs from his new album “Creatures”, with a story based audiovisual show; English duo Paranoid London, responsible for several of the most exciting tracks on the European underground with an infectious and magnetic sound; extraordinary Luxembourg pianist Francesco Tristano, submerging himself in techno with songs from his new EP on Get Physical and surrounded onstage by keyboards and synthesizers; American Salva, hybridization master of hip-hop, Miami bass and Chicago house who will play between A$AP Rocky and Die Antwoord; and the foremost representative of the origins of drum’n’bass Dj Fresh, closing Friday night at SonarClub with his fully revamped sound.

As for the Red Bull Stage, they’re adding some essential elements as well. Skepta heads the new list of artists performing on SonarDôme stage at Sónar by Day, curated by Red Bull Music Academy. The English MC –joined by his accomplice JME– is one of the key figures of grime, the London urban genre that has been experiencing an exciting ascendance in recent months. Also extremely noteworthy will be the performance by Floating Points, an exquisite producer and dj responsible for the label Eglo Records, revitalising the most elegant and organic house by way of lucid jazz and funk notations.
