Sonar 2009 picks

Women took center stage at last year’s Sónar and they aren’t ceding any space this year. From the fierce sexagenarian Grace Jones, to rivaling contenders for the British electro-pop queen crown, La Roux and Little Boots, and on to the very hot Swedish electronica act Fever Ray, the ladies will be sure to grab their fair share of attention.

If you can’t make it to the festival, we have hooked up with Awdio to provide live streams from the best parties. Listen here (transmissions live during parties).
