It's that time of year again - time for Sonar 2011. Sonar is the festival of advanced music and multimedia art that takes place at various venues in Barcelona in the third week of June every year.

This year, we're teaming up with Novation and Ableton to bring you a unique presence to the SonarPro Forum, a place where DJs, producers and anyone interested in music can come and check out the latest and greatest from our three companies.

There will be regularly scheduled demos, as well as quite a bit of gear set up for everyone to get their hands on. Plus, every day we'll be giving away gear and a bottle of champagne. Suits me, sir.

For those unable to make it to Sonar, fear not. Novation, Ableton and Serato are working on a Sonar competition for everyone, so keep your eyes on our Facebook and Twitter. And of course on this blog.

To warm up for Sonar, check out our blogs from last year's festival. Here are some artist interviews we did too:
