  • Big Tings a Gwan!

    Halloween Session!

    This coming Friday I\’ll be sharing the stage with a few local legends of the Barcelona DJ scene, DJ Panko (Ojos de Brujo, Lenacay, Electrorumbaiao,) DJ2D2, Guille de Juan (Playtime) and our host Professor Angel Sound for \”Night of the Zombeats\” at Trip Club!  Trip Club is his baby and the Professor has been bringing great talent to town every Friday: Nightmares on Wax (Warp Records,) Silicone Soul (Soma Records,) Pete Herbert and last Friday Miguel Puente.  The venue, El Molino, is a really beautiful club and goes until the wee hours…

    Friday, October 31: 11:55pm – 5:00am, Trip Club at El Molino.

  • Saturday Brunch!

    Back in Barcelona this Saturday for a Brunch Session at Dos Trece!  From 1pm til 5pm there are bottomless mimosas, great food and marvelous music!

    Below is a recording from the last session I did there.

    If you can\’t see the player, this is what it sounded like last time: http://www.mixcloud.com/Dostrece/t-bird-part-2/

  • Friday Gig and New images!

    Above is one of the new images I was sent by the \”Master of Disaster Behind the Lens\” aka Pepe Pujol Carabantes. My Photo page features shots he\’s taken of me.  His work can be quite stunning…

    As previously mentioned, I have a gig Friday!  \”Back In The Celler\” at my favorite craft beer bar in the Born, Celler Ceres!  The tapas are quite delicious and I\’m very happy to be providing the sonic ambiance.  If you\’re new to artisan beer, there is a taster tray (6 small beers for 9

  • BCN to the MAD…

    Just got back the other day from Madrid, Spain\’s capital city.  So many things going on all the time…

    Thursday May 22, I took the AVE (high speed rail) and arrived in 2.5 hours–direct from Barcelona Sants (the main train station) to Madrid Atocha (main station.)  I arrived in the afternoon and (as usual) had plans to do a few things before my gig that night at La Huelga.  …Long & short–hung out at the house and then went to the gig…

    La Huelga is in Lavapi

  • New (and not so new) stuff!!

    Los Chicos Altos feat. Palo Q\’sea @ Marula Cafe BCN

    A few things I wanted to mention:

    1. Thursdays in Barcelona are interesting again!
         a. Missy Lys is the spot to start off the night.  In the basement of La Vietnamita (c/ Comer

  • Back in the Big Room, January 25 @ KER…

    Excited to be playing the main room in a proper Barcelona Disco again!  Thanks to Professor Angel Sound and his brother Big Lips (fka DeLippo) who put on The Saturday event DF.  Because this is Barcelona, I\’m gonna have to bang it out a bit–but what\’s life without a bit of a challenge, eh?  Make it bang, but don\’t lose the soul…

    So the details are on Resident Advisor and here\’s the flashy page for Ker Barcelona.  Below is a flyer with all the pertinent info as well (I happen to like this flyer a bit.)  If you are a veteran of the Barcelona club scene, you might remember this venue as Space… 

    I\’ve got a few mixes up of music from last year that might interest you, check the 2013 Wrap Up on my DJ Mixes page, House and Eclectic are on offer… These are tunes that were NOT made or remixed by myself or Los Chicos Altos.  Plenty of tracks forthcoming from that source! 
    By the way, if you haven\’t checked out our latest EP on UrbanWorld Records, El Diablo Alegre, here it is!

  • Music under the stars!

    The xiringuito season has begun! I\’ll be returning to a spot I dig in Maresme–Lasal in Arenys de Mar. I\’ll be playing exclusive tracks next to classics. Come, enjoy and dance for a bit… …It will be a party by the sea!

    Below is a track that I played an early version of last year in Lasal–before it was released!  There\’s definitely some fun stuff that hasn\’t come out yet that you will hear at this gig…

  • Prep for the CH! (Something Else! Podcast 5.23.13)

    Download

    This show is kind of \”good news/bad news.\”  Good news: releases by Nu Era (aka Marc Mac of 4Hero,) BBP (Ghetto Funk & Good Groove bods,) Child Of Lov (Damon Albarn associate,) Silver Bullit (from UrbanWorld Records) featuring Afrikan Boy (who seems to be everywhere right now) and house producer Chris Gavin.  Also in this column, I\’m writing this from the airport on my way to the CH (aka Switzerland) to play Pooc (Biel/Bienne,) Grenzwert & Acqua Lounge (Basel.)

    The dreaded \”bad news\”…  We lost a few musicians recently, Ray Manzarek (Doors keyboardist) & DJ/Producer Romanthony.  Ray is a 60s icon and Romanthony was only in his 40s…
