PULSO I, a 36-track benefit compilation featuring DJ Babatr and around 100 electronic artists, is sending 100% of its Bandcamp proceeds to emergency medical relief in La Guaira, near Caracas, after two major earthquakes struck northern Venezuela on June 24.

Sonar 2026 runs 18 to 20 June at Fira Gran Via, with OFFSonar to 21 June. Dates, prices, headliners, and the Keinemusik, Adriatique and elrow showcases worth planning around.
