It’s been a while since we had so many interesting events in a single month in Madrid. Electronic music continues to grow in the Spanish capital and recover glimpses of those golden days of the genre at the end of the last century. Madrid has always enjoyed a very lively underground scene and, after a few years of slight downturn, it can finally boast of having removed the nostalgia. Xceed, of course, walks together with the city to bring all these musical events to you. It’s the time to pick your favs!

4. Roots pres. Nicolas Lutz @ Goya Social Club
Nicolas Lutz is said to have travelled from Jupiter to Berlin to spread his peculiar musical taste throughout the world. The Uruguayan selector collected rarities from an early age to make them sound among friends but found that many around him didn’t understand his musical tastes. Like so many others, Lutz found his home in Berlin. There, everyone danced to his music. There, he found many more records that captivated him. Nicolas Lutz is one of the most coveted selectors by alternative festivals. His experimentalism when it comes to mixing has turned him into a real pandora’s box that, session after session, continues to make his fans fall in love more and more. And, yes, in April he will be in Goya to steal (once again) the heart of Madrid.
When: Saturday, April 20th
Where: Goya Social Club
Lineup: Nicolas Lutz, Alvaro Medina and Luks & Abdulla

Big night for the DVST family. “A Moment Before” is the second LP Psyk has brought to the world, the first after that release on Mote-Evolver, Luke Slater’s label, called “Time Foundation”. In “A Moment Before”, Psyk releases 9 tracks produced with minimalist techniques and reduced forms of techno, a fact that caught the attention of Tresor Records. For the occasion, Psyk will offer a hybrid set to perform the sounds of the album live. Night for real techno music lovers.
