BARCELONA NIGHTCLUB LA PALOMA ANNOUNCES AUTUMN 2024 PROGRAM

The Autumn program features appearances from Theo Parrish, Antal, Nightmares On Wax, Hot Chip, Danilo Plessow (MCDE) B2B Hugo LX, Egyptian Lover & more

Barcelona’s mythical ballroom, La Paloma, have announced their autumn club program. The club, which is the oldest in Europe, originally opened in 1903, has been operating a phased re-opening following several years of closure.

Throughout September the club will welcome Antal, Machinedrum (Live), Danilo Plessow B2B Hugo LX (All Night Long) and Fantastic Man, with Barcelona-based Mainline Collective and queer extravaganza Loco Bingo continuing their ongoing residencies. 

Rolling into October, Egyptian Lover, Luke Una, Mr. Bongo, and Ruby Savage will all feature as part of the club's Saturday program, with Glove Party also hosting an event. Booked in for Friday nights are Weval, GAZZI, softchaos, Chico Blanco and DJ Sweet6teen amongst others, with parties hosted by local crews PPL United, Mainline Collective and ODD CLUB. 

Looking ahead to November, Theo Parrish (All Night Long), Nightmares On Wax, Toy Tonics DJs, Bradley Zero (All Night Long), and Hot Chip DJs have been locked in as the club switches to its ‘tardeo’ schedule for the winter, a traditional late evening format running from 19:30 - 02:00. Alongside this, dates are confirmed for local crews Poly Ritmo Club, Mainline Collective and Jokkoo Collective.

Located on the border of Sant Antoni and Raval, the 1,000-capacity club has already welcomed Francois K, Gilles Peterson, David Rodigan, Branko, Adrian Sherwood, Ge-Ology, Sadar Bahar and a host of other names this year. 

The 1,000-capacity club is a work of art, dating from 1903, featuring a perfectly symmetrical interior maintained carefully since 1919, in a rich red and gold baroque style, with unreserved booth seating available at dancefloor level and on the upstairs balcony floor. 

The club was previously closed for some years, but has become a welcome re-addition to Barcelona’s nightlife since undergoing a phased re-opening across the last 18 months. 

Tickets to all events are now on sale via La Paloma’s website, Resident Advisor, and Dice.

GASTON FIORE JOINS CHARLOTTE DE WITTE'S RPM FOR “THE DAY YOU LEFT ME" EP

Next up on the RPM by KNTXT label is the young and exciting Gaston Fiore, an Argentine producer making big waves with his powerful stripped down mix of trance and techno. He serves up three tracks that are all directly aimed at the dance floor but infused with human emotion.

Fiore embarked on his musical journey in early 2020 and quickly made a mark thanks to his dynamic style. Some of his tunes have made their way into some respected record bags as he continues to pick up a worldwide fan base.

“This EP is really special to me”, says Gaston Fiore. “I've been following Charlotte for many years and I'm very grateful to be releasing music on her label now. This selection of tracks are the best representation of what I want to push, a bit deep, kind of groovy and very clubby."

Charlotte de Witte adds: “Gaston Fiore's trancy, stripped down approach always captivates me & simply makes me want to move. I'm beyond excited to welcome him on RPM by KNTXT with these beautiful, floaty yet effective tracks.”

‘The Day You Left Me’ is high speed techno trance with funk in the bass notes and lasers fired from a machine gun. It is imbued with a dark sense of soul and never lets up. The equally brilliant ‘I Want You To Stay’ is another slick, urgent cut with a menacing bassline and hooky female vocals up top that swirl next to the hypnotic pads. Last of all is 'Affects Of Love' which is a third and final beautifully floating track with powerful drums and tender chords up top, all of which come with a futuristic sense of moody.

The Day You Left Me is a fantastic new EP from this new school innovator.

Tracklist:

1) The Day You Left Me

2) I Want You To Stay

3) Affects Of Love

ENTER THE REALM OF PANTHĒON AT COVA SANTA IBIZA

You do not know us, but we have spent an eternity observing you. Panthēon is born from the whispers of forgotten myths and the electric hum of the universe, and on Friday, 13 September, it will come alive at Cova Santa, Ibiza.

In the sacred space where the mundane fades and only the present moment exists, Pantheon will invite guests to immerse themselves in an otherworldly experience. This is more than just a party; it is a divine communion of body and soul, an eternal celebration of life. The energies summoned at Cova Santa transcend the ordinary, weaving music and magic that will transport us into unseen realms.

The night’s soundtrack will be delivered by a lineup of top-tier talent, including Mason Collective, Joey Daniel, Wheats, Piem, Abdon, Macarena Hoffmann, and Janse. But Pantheon is not only about the music. It is a full sensory experience, with performances and costumes that bring the gods of Olympus to life. The venue will be transformed into a temple of mythology, with décor and characterizations inspired by divine beings, ensuring an unforgettable night of epic proportions.

Ibiza is our sacred ground, and Cova Santa is our temple. On 13 September, we will gather for a celebration unlike any other, where myth and music collide in an extraordinary fusion.

Join us as we step into the myth, and experience Panthēon.
