November 1, 2013 marked the Sonar festival tour here in Toronto at the Sound Academy. Sonar is on a North American tour that originated out of Barcelona, Spain. This festival was met with great anticipation as it uniquely combines the indie electronic scene with a splash of punk, hip-hop and blend of live performances.
Paul Kalkbrenner put on an energy filled set of techno they you can feel he get deeply involved in as he manipulates tracks. There are no spectacles or overly stated visual distractions, it is pure PK playing to bring you to that elevated level.
You could feel the energy and anticipation for the Die Antwoord performance and visually the majority of the people attending were in their support. You could hear the gratification from the audience as Dj Hi-Tek took the stage and moments later Ninja and Yo-Landi Vi$$er. The combination of music, sex appeal and rawness differentiates them from most other “groups”.
Toronto’s lineup included: die antwoord, azari & III,seth troxler, paul kalkbrenner, tiga,gesaffelstein, nic fanciulli,visuals by pfadfinderei
