Music : Body&Soul Main Stage 2011 : Delorean
When True Panther Sounds visited Barcelona for Primavera Sound last year, they first entered the fantastic and magical world of Delorean. What they had thought was primarily a remix project turned out to be an enthralling and adventurous full-on band; surprised by what a massive and rabid Spanish fanbase they had gained from two previous full-lengths while retaining a relatively low profile in the rest of the world.
They were left hungry for more. As it happens, Delorean are at the forefront of a burgeoning community of musicians, producers and DJs who are mining the collective Spanish dance-music heritage of Balearic house and combining it with contemporary independent pop, European techno, shades of the ecstatic Madchester sound and hip-hop – a perfect soundtrack to romantic nights along white Mediterranean sands.
The Ayrton Senna EP of last summer was to prove pivotal in pushing Delorean to wider audience; four sublime tracks and a remix, it quickly made its way onto every discerning blog and at which time, True Panther Sounds had signed them up to join Girls, Glasser, Hunx And His Punx and Magic Kids on their artist roster.
