Barcelona’s craziest party week is around the corner.
A car, a trunk, a good sound system and great music. Thus, with the essence of “parkineo” present, OFF Week was born, now bringing together so many clubbers and electronic music lovers in mid-June in Barcelona.
It was labeled by some as the “Anti-Sónar” in its day, because of the direct competition in an illegal format that it created for the multitudinous festival. But now, both concepts are developing independently, making Barcelona the European home of the industry for a whole week. With so many showcases, exclusive b2b and names you can’t see anywhere else in the country, do you dare to let yourself be guided?
So that you start OFF Week early…
The week starts early and with big names in sight. The Italian Marco Faraone and his label UNCAGE will be among the first to make you dance on Tuesday, June 11 with a showcase at Input that will bring to Barcelona another heavyweight: the German legend Ben Klock, who will wake up the city to prepare for the week.
If this is still not enough for you, you have another date when the BPMs are expected to be even higher. Pacha Barcelona will have Fatima Hajji, Shlømo, Alignment and BIIA to test the foundations of the Barceloneta.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12
On Wednesday June 12 things get serious with the massive arrival of events spread throughout the city. Among the highlights, we find INPUT kicking things off with a showcase of Maceo Plex‘s label led by the boss himself and with two talents such as Avision and Madben.
At Les Enfants Brillants, the OFF continues a very juicy all night long. Apollonia, the trio composed of Shonky, Dan Ghenacia and Dyed Soundorom, will be in charge of piloting the spaceship from start to finish.
In the house of cherries, Cuartero has put together a lineup to represent his Sanity Records at Pacha. Sosa, Wheats and many more will be in charge of accompanying the label boss during a night full of groove.
