Arnau Salvadó

A Evripidis Sabatis se le conoce, sobre todo, por sus canciones: pop de apariencia ligera, melodías precisas y una manera muy suya de dejar que el humor y la vulnerabilidad compartan habitación. Pero en Terranova, la librería y espacio expositivo de Poble-sec, en Barcelona, donde hoy se despide Teratarium, sus criaturas no suenan, sino que miran. O parecen hacerlo.

This weekend, Soundit Festival took over Parc Nou in El Prat de Llobregat for its second edition. With a striking line-up (Helena Hauff, Verraco, Oscar Mulero, DJ Babatr, Honey Dijon, DJ Lag, Jennifer Loveless, Laurel Halo and Kampire, among many others), the artists mapped out the diversity and richness that shape electronic music today.

And it is not just the newcomers doing the heavy lifting. Some of the biggest names in the scene have returned in serious form: Honey Dijon turned the dancefloor into a luxurious, vocal-heavy house universe with The Nightlife; Octo Octa came back with Sigils for Survival, a deeply personal record full of warmth, acid, spirituality and queer liberation; and Brutalismus3000 pushed their whole mutant gabber-punk fantasy even further with Harmony.
