J.E.T.S., Lorenzo Senni and duo Jimi Tenor & Jori Hulkonnen at Sónar by Day

Sónar by Day will host the 4-deck J.E.T.S. project from the iconic Jimmy Edgar and Machinedrum. The two distinguished producers join together under the J.E.T.S. alias to create awe-inspiring syncopated rhythms. The Italian sound investigator and exceptional talent Lorenzo Senni will bring his own particular deconstruction of 90s rave music (hardcore, trance) with his typical visually striking concert. Meanwhile, Finnish friends Jimi Tenor & Jori Hulkkonen will play the "Nuntius" soundtrack live, the silent science fiction film  that they directed which will, of course, be screened during the performance.
