10. ANC Drum&Bass pres. Together Official Pre-Party w/ Sub Focus at R33
Drum’n’bass is probably one of the genres that kept its original essence throughout the years. With Together, Amnesia Ibiza will dance bass and drum&bass during all summer, something that we’ll be able to taste in Barcelona with this welcome party. SubFocus will be in charge of destroying our shoes.
Where: R33When: Friday, 11th MayLineup: SubFocus, Fran The Breakstorm and Ocho
9. B Club pres. Matador & Dokser
The Irish knows well how to make Barcelona‘s crew go to the next level. His domain of the more minimalist version of techno has made him one of the most favourite options for the audience of the city. This time, Matador will play for B Club, the new reference to the underground techno scene on Thursdays in Barcelona. Will he be capable of smashing it again?
Where: B Club (City Hall)When: Thursday, 17th MayLineup: Matador and Dokser
8. Open Air Barcelona pres. Rooftop Party at Catwalk
Barcelona wouldn’t be Barcelona without its rooftops and, probably, Open Air Barcelona is one of its bests. On the mythical Catwalk and with privileged views of the Mediterranean Sea and Barceloneta Beach, it manages to create an unbeatable atmosphere to enjoy the best electronic music by resident artists of the city.
Where: Open Air BarcelonaWhen: Friday, 11th MayLineup: Resident DJs
7. Locked pres. Giorgia Angiuli live at INPUT High Fidelity Dance Club
Her live performance is probably the one that caught more attention on the land of melodic house, melodic techno and acid touches. The Italian Giorgia Angiuli combines her amazing skills producing techno and house music with her sweet voice and a quite big list of gadgets (mostly toys) whose sounds get converted to music. The opportunity to see her is completely unmissable.
Where: INPUT High Fidelity Dance ClubWhen: Friday, 11th MayLineup: Giorgia Angiuli (live), Raxon and Gerard Bauza
6. Razzmatazz Clubs pres. Amelie Lens at The Loft
The young Belgian DJ has escalated positions in all the techno rankings, having become a true star of the hardest genres of the underground sounds. If you are looking for an absolutely acid DJ set and you don’t care so much about the bpm range, she’s your woman and this is your party.
Where: The Loft (Razzmatazz Clubs)When: Friday, 11th MayLineup: Amelie Lens, Zombies in Miami, DJohnston and Lucient
5. This Side UP celebrates 2nd Anniversary w/ Rex The Dog live
This Briton’s music is one of the most demanded in the centre of Europe. Based in Berlin, last year he started to present a new live modular performance along the continent, in which he took his electronic sounds to a further spot in terms of experimentation. Always easily danceable, his house, sometimes even acid house, fits perfectly with those open minds that look for new options, new genres and, overall, new experiences.
Where: This Side UPWhen: Friday, 25th MayLineup: Rex The Dog (live), Kunde, Martin Noise, Diego Montiel and Iñaki del Pozo

3. RRR Opening Party pres. SHINEDOE at La Terrrazza

2. SIGHT pres. Suara Night w/ Coyu and Matrixxman at Pacha Barcelona
There’s no better way to know Barcelona‘s public than living there and, furthermore, being born there. So, Coyu may be one of the most prepared DJs to play in town. During this last year, he has chosen a deeper and more melodic way in his performances, something that has got a very good answer from the scene. With him, the strongest Matrixxman‘s techno will complete a Sunday night in which Pacha Barcelona will be, for sure, trembling.
Where: Pacha BarcelonaWhen: Sunday, 13th MayLineup: Coyu and Matrixxman
1. RazzClub pres. The Bloody Beetroots live (My Name Is Thunder Tour) at Razzmatazz Clubs
Imagine electro without them. No way. Since more than a decade, this group of Italian prodigious has been producing an intense, aggressive and demanding electro music. Most of the current techno, drum’n’bass, schranz and even EDM lovers discovered these styles thanks to them. Now, with My Name Is Thunder Tour, The Bloody Beetroots travel around Europe and visit Barcelona again. We just can’t wait to see them in front a completely full main room of Razzmatazz.
