| Looking
For Freedom |
 |
 |
|
| When
visiting Germany, Americans are regularly taken back by
the popularity enjoyed by David Hasselhoff. Yes, he's
known in his homeland for his red Baywatch shorts and
talking car, but that's nothing compared to The
Hoff's Teutonic cult rockstar status. Similarly, whilst
popular here, Sònar is huge in London. |
|
This,
of course, means only one thing: any self-respecting
music-loving Londoner is Barcelona-bound this week.
But do not despair. Lobster-coloured hen party tarts
and drunks in football kits should be few and far between
and, even better, it should also mean some decent London-hosted
parties.
Ninja Tune and Contraflow are kicking everything off
on Wednesday at La Nau, followed by a Dazed & Confused
and Thugs & Hugs bash at Mondo on Thursday. VICE,
like ourselves, have been forced to move their Friday
party from Lotus to Roxy Blue, and then on Sunday, East
London institution SecretSundaze takes over at La Terrrazza.

It
pains us to admit, though, that the hottest ticket
in town is not hosted by Brits, but by those Hoff-lovers.
Like last year, Berlin label Mobilee takes over
the rooftop at Hotel Diagonal for two afternoon
sessions on Thursday and Friday. Go on, "I've
Been Looking For Freedom..."
