DJ Set

John Talabot has quickly gone from being a complete unknown to one of the biggest electronic hopes in Spain. After years spent working as a DJ in the best clubs in Barcelona, his home town, he decides to begin producing music, and in 2009 debuts with the famous Munich label Permanent Vacation. On Hivern, he released the now mythical Sunshine, track which  became one of the songs of the summer, very popular in clubs and festivals worldwide, and included by Philip Sherburne as one of the best maxis of 2009 on Pitchfork. The following year he released a 12” with the beautiful (and acid) song Mathilda’s Dream again for Permanent Vacation, and in the meantime he’s been busy doing remixes for bands such as Glasser and Delorean, producers such as Zwicker and Francesco Tristano’s Aufgang project.

John Talabot’ career has just begun, but all the signs indicate that we are facing a special artist. His music is warm, a perfect concentrate of Chicago house, disco music and northern soul intertwined to make your hands and heart dance; this is why at the Dancity Festival he will play in broad daylight, in the courtyard of an old church, hopefully under blue skies ...Sunshine!
