7 39 Issue 62 / 2014 FESTIVALS guestlist.net TOP 10 ACTS OF SONAR BY DAY 2. Machine drum Vapor City live This titan of electronic music keeps continuing to explore and present ex- citing new projects and collaborations that effort- lessly break the confines of genre. On Thursday of So- nar by Day, Machinedrum will be showcasing his most recent and potential- ly boldest album release to date – Vapor City. The per- formance will involve him playing electronics, guitar and vocals while Lane Bar- rington will be on drum kit and samples. 3. Neneh Cherry with Rock etNumberNine Neneh Cherry is an artist that has encapsulated an audience with her unique talent and style for a very long time. Each time she returns with new work, it seems better than the last and her latest album 'Blank Project' is no exception. Her performance at Sonar by Day on Saturday is sure to be one that's not to be missed. 4. Koreless Hailing from North West Wales, this young produc- er has shown himself to be an extremely gifted cre- ator of sensitive and tune- ful electronic music. After being introduced to the UK label Young Turks by Jamie XX, Koreless has honed his sound with impressive pro- gression. Catch him play- ing on Thursday at Sonar by Day. 5. Daniel Miller With a lifetime's worth of experience in forward thinking music, working closely with artists such as Depeche Mode, Moby, Goldfrapp and many more, Daniel Miller is perhaps one of the most influential musicians to be deeply in- volved in electronic music. His experimentation and experience makes for some incredible DJ sets that creates a cross-genre experience which we're excited to see Thursday of Sonar by Day. 6. Oneohtrix Point Never With a strong intent on deep exploration and at- tention to detail in his mu- sic, this Russian born artist, endlessly presents epic works reflecting a whole range of influences. His re- cent Warp Records release "R Plus Seven" retains his dystopian and atmospher- ic quality as well as making a subtle comment on life in this digital, post-internet age. You can catch him playing on Friday of Sonar by Day. 7. MØ Fresh and exciting, this Nordic wonder has emerged with buckets full of charisma and creativity. With her very interesting take on hip-hop influenced electro funk pop, MØ bursts onto the stage with a new sound and style that presents a brilliant con- temporary hybrid. We're very much looking forward to seeing what form this takes at Sonar by Day on Thursday. 8. TOKiMONSTA Her heavily proclaimed sun-drenched beats echo a bleepy and soulful reflec- tion of a mind filled with expression. Her debut LP, released on LA/Japanese clothing label Foreign Family has struck people with a resounding new edge on tuneful creativity. We've heard that her sets are the stuff of magic and can't wait to see her at So- nar by Day on Saturday. 9. Throwing Snow The multi-faceted mind that is Throwing snow has an array of projects at his feet. When he's not pro- ducing interesting and enveloping club tracks, he's running his labels Left_Blank and Snow Fall. He has unveiled himself amongst the UK dance music scene with wide ac- claim and appreciation. It's going to be an exciting trip of a set. Catch him on Fri- day at Sonar by Day. 10. Tarek Atoui Here is an artist whose work knows no bounds. Creating sounds on his own eminently electronic instruments recorded in a natural environment, this is music that really speaks pure expression. Having presented his work all over the world to a captivated audience, his live perfor- mance at Sonar by Day on Friday is going to be some- thing very special indeed. Sonar by day is a big mix of sunshine, vibes and good music. These are our top 10 acts to see in the daytime 1. Bonobo A modern-day figurehead of emotive, melodic and intricate music, Bonobo has helped usher in the soulful electronic sounds that he so very well cre- ates. With over 10 years production experience Bonobo's attention to de- tail and emotion make his live shows nothing short of awe-inspiring. Performing his recently released sixth album at Sonar by Day on Friday, we're sure that this will be quite an unforget- table show.
