Yes, I know, Sónar was a month ago, but a 10-day Euro trip (you try hand-writing a review when you’re in a train that passes through the most picturesque German landscape you’ve ever seen) and a Transatlantic move (if you’re in New York holler at me) seriously got in the way. Yikes, P has already written the Sundae review, which took place a whole week after Sónar… this is awkward. Annnnnyways—

My Jamaican punctuality aside, This year’s Sónar once again put Spain right up to date on the gamut of European electronic music festivals. This year, for the first time, Sónar held a smaller, simultaneous festival in another Spanish city that corresponded to the base event in Barcelona. Sónar chose earnest yet beautiful coastal A Coruña in the region of Galicia. The next time you check out a map of Europe, look for that block of Spain that sits snugly on top of Portugal – yeah, that’s Galicia.

Last Sunday 27th of June, the Airdrop gang was invited to take over the super celebrated Sundae party in Paris. Ever since the start of the occasional events last year in 2009, Sundae has been offering the best setting and music to the French capital. This time around, fellow Argentineans Andres Zacco & Lucas Mari lit the spot on fire, with the help of duo Childhood ’87 (aka Le Loup & Funkalicious James). Definitely one for the books…

On the occasion of Martin Eyerer‘s North-American debut, Airdrop comes up with “In My House“, a blockbuster of a track like only this one man can craft. Literally showing the rest of the world how he gets it done in his house, Martin blends house vox and chords with his signature technique and groove. Remixed by Maetrik, Crazy Larry, Punisher and Pat Fontes, we will all celebrate and announce this coming record…

Flawless & Airdrop team up once again to bring quality Airdrop artists to play on LOVE’s amazing sound system. The big Airdrop anniversary party with Soul Clap & Monoblock was such a blast, we’ve decided to go even bigger for this month’s edition with the US debut of Martin Eyerer. The Kling Klong and Session Deluxe label head is joined in the booth by Airdrop’s own Punisher, Time to Get Ill’s Crazy Larry and Pat Fontes (Boston).

The Electrónica en Abril (Electronic in April) Festival is an annual electronic multimedia exhibition that assaults the Spanish metropolis of Madrid for one weekend in the first full month of spring (this year it was the 16-18 April). Electrónica en Abril takes place in La Casa Encendida (literally, ‘The Lighted House’), a bank-financed, community-oriented contemporary arts centre. Here, madrileños and visitors with an appetite for the avant-garde can run across anything from a modern art exhibit to a painting workshop for the physically disabled.

That being said, it comes as no surprise that the minds behind EeA are building a reputation for cherry-picking international artists who try to push the electronic envelope, so to speak. The festival, having just completed its eighth year, has in past editions invited the likes of Kode9 and the Spaceape, Non Standard Institute (Max Loderbauer & Tobias Freund), Ghislain Poirier, Shakleton, The Field, and The Bug.

Time flies by so fast, it seems only yesterday we were walking around WMC, giving out our debut 10″ record… Now 3 years later, we are celebrating this important anniversary with parties at our original headquarters, New York City and our new home Berlin!

We want to thank you for all your great support that makes each new project always feel more special: from the DJs and music-nuts playing and collecting our vinyl records, to all the floor-stompers who swing the night away to our Airdropping grooves…

Thank you and long live VINYL!
