For those who thought summer is already over, it is not. September will bring some of the best and most outrageous events of 2017. Barcelona, the city known for its insane nightlife, with national and international artists, will bring you an unforgettable experience in this after-summer month of September. So, if you are planning to go to Barcelona this month, brace yourself, because you won’t have time to sleep with these top 10 parties we selected for you. Let the autumn celebrations begin.
1. Dixon (5 hour set) @Razzmatazz
When Dixon entered the Berlin club circuit in the early 1990s, he established himself strongly. Being a resident DJ meant playing in the same club every week, and people came to your night specifically for you, with the assurance that the resident DJ would turn himself in as he did the previous party and how it would do the following one. There is no better way to learn how to become a mastermind behind the DJ booth than to make people dance on a set that lasts all night. If you can’t hold the crowd for hours, you fall off the flight. Dixon not only learned well and quickly, but enjoyed every moment on the decks.
Dixon is bringing a unique 5 hour set on the 16th of September to The Loft in Razzmatazz. Let the journey begin.
When? 16th of September
Where? Razzmatazz
Full line-up? Dixon, Pedro Vian
2. Chris Liebing @Pacha Barcelona
Chris Liebing is DJ, producer, radio host of a weekly show and the driving force behind CLR and Spinclub Recordings. His sound has continuously evolved during his career, always true to his Techno roots. He was one of the first DJ’s that used the new possibilities in the course of the digitalization of music in a consequent and creative way. The real-time manipulation of the individual elements of each song plays an important role in his sets. Due to the good co-operation with various software and hardware makers, his current setup offers him practically endless possibilities.
On the 10th of September, the German hammer will hit the nightlife temple that is Pacha Barcelona. Is there a better way to spend your Sunday night than with pounding techno?
When? 10th of September
Where? Pacha Barcelona
Full line-up? Chris Liebing, Flug
3. Local Heroes @INPUT
Inside of the beautiful Pueblo Español (the replica village built for the 1992 Olympics in Montjuic) you will find INPUT Dance Club, a multi-purpose space that has the ultimate goal of organizing and hosting original and unmissable quality events.
The theater structure presents a large and unobstructed space with high ceilings and balconies. Its avant-garde design and the advanced audiovisual equipment make INPUT Dance Club Barcelona a unique venue. And you want to know what’s even better? The sound system! A perfectly placed Funktion-One system will make you feel inside the music, delivering the best sound in town. Here you will find the best techno, electronic and house parties, always with an underground touch on it.
On Friday the 8th of September the local heroes will show you the real deal, with Input’s well stablished resident DJ’s: HITCH and The Deals.
HITCH can be defined as one of those artists who is difficult to set into a categorized genre. Only by listening to one of his sets or productions one can realize his forward thinking criteria. Both his selections and productions are based on parameters closely linked to sobriety and a panoramic open-mindedness.
The Deals began as a duo formed by Alex Molina and Denis Peramos. They began to play together at some small clubs of Barcelona and felt to make their own music in the studio. It was a few years later when they began to edit their music in major labels such as SCI+TEC, Deeperfect or Waveform Recordings, with support from artists like Deep Dish, Dubfire, Adam Beyer, Marco Carola, Paco Osuna, Sian, and many others.
If you enjoy quality electronic music, we are waiting for you at INPUT!

6. Sven Väth @Pacha Barcelona
Sven Väth is simply unique. A real living legend with a commitment and passion that has influenced the advance and evolution of electronic music. Clubs, record labels and careers have been launched by him.
There are some people that are destined to emerge and change things. Change landscapes. Sven Väth is a risk-taking visionary, an instigator, an innovator and very possibly invincible. There will never be anyone like him.
1981 and Frankfurt started it. Quickly the figurehead for a techno revolution in Germany that was to spread far and wide. Worldwide. Setting sail alone, this was 1981 and this was new. The Omen Club and so many other adventures punctuated this period, getting the sound out there . Vinyl then, vinyl now. Parties that mattered and changed things. Parties that reinforced a vision and eventually gave birth to Cocoon.
The Cocoon family comes back to Pacha Barcelona with their fresh techno sets to take you on a journey you have never experienced before.
When? 2nd of September

Full line-up? Sven Väth, Andre Galluzzi
