Primavera 16 – The Playlist

In order to warm-up properly we have compiled 50 artists of this year’s Primavera Sound Barcelona (actually 51 now because I initially forgot Destroyer…).
Already found some new pearls, like Andy Shauf, Steve Gunn, Jay Rock and Floating Points. Also included my own MUST-SEE RATING:
5/5 – Scratch my face, break my arm, smash my head!!
4/5 – Big on the list!
3/5 – Wouldn’t it be nice?
2/5 – Taking chances
1/5 – Don’t think I’ll make it…

What’s your rating?
