The second Sónar Stockholm adds leading artists to its line-up from both the northern European and Swedish scenes.

Korean American Tokimonsta -one of the most important producers in the world- will display her open-minded approach and modern vision of hip-hop, r&b and contemporary bass music. Joining her will be two leading figures from today's British scene: Sophie, whose debut on label Numbers caused a sensation in 2013 and is now considered an essential reference for the new PC Music movement; and Randomer, the unyielding creator of dance floor tracks, whose sonic terrain includes UK funky and uncompromising techno.

The Swedish scene is one of Europe's most dynamic and in recent years it has delivered a plethora of aural pleasures for lovers of electronica and cutting edge pop. This is certainly the case for duo Roll The Dice, whose excellent and emotive live show was a highlight at last year's Sónar Barcelona, in which analogue synthesizer knowledge was blended with acoustic elements.

Sweden is also the birthplace to new global star Elliphant, who already has fans in their millions despite her youth and small discography. She has toured and collaborated with Diplo, Charli XCX and Skrillex, among others and Sónar Stockholm will offer her a warm welcome home. The same is true for Lorentz, whose solo debut "Kärlekslåtar" is undoubtedly one of Sweden's albums of the year. His festival performance will also signify a return to the stage in his home country after performing at festivals and venues around the world.

Sónar Stockholm also offers two other important figures from the northern European scene. Firstly, Dane Kasper Bjørke, one of the most renowned and versatile artists in his country, who has just released his fourth album "After Forever", combining Balearic beats, pop and disco. Secondly, Iceland's Samaris, who achieved notable success at Sónar by Day Barcelona with their electronic pop and ethereal vocal touches, and whose lyrics hail from nineteenth century Icelandic poetry.

The second Sónar Stockholm will take place on 13 & 14 February 2015, in the Swedish capital's spectacular Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre.
