Barcelona resident John Talabot's 2010 track 'Sunshine' put him firmly on the DJ world map and he's been on the Subculture radar for a few years. His debut artist album 'fiN' on Permanent Vacation gained rave reviws last year, highlighting a shimmering balearic sensibility so this DJ set will no doubt bring some welcome sunshine to our Scottish summer, if not a permanent vacation.

It is a real pioneering festival with an artistic programme that is divided between activities at Sonar by Day which showcases new talent and live shows and Sonar by Night which presents the headline artists. Sonar by Day is held right in the centre of Barcelona while Sonar by Night is held on the outskirts in a massive airport hangover.
