John Talabot returns to Liverpool Sound City on 29 May after his first appearance in this festival in 2010. He has become one of the biggest revelations of the last years and gone from a complete unknown to one of the biggest electronic hopes. All thanks to his effusive house tracks in which Moodymann, J Dilla, Chicago house, Disco music and Northern Soul intertwine to produce organic and humane songs, full of life, and that make your hands and heart dance.
