if i were you, i wouldn't miss DJ Yoda. His skills mixing Europe's "The final countdown" (best song to make cool people angry ever) with Herbie Hancock's "Rockit" are amazing. By the way, El Dioni being one of the 'popular heroes of the XXth century' in the corporative image on Sonar this year is the best pick they could have ever done. Remember his famouse highlight: "yo a españa no le debo ni una puta peseta". Big respect.
