Inaugurated in 2019, Cloud 9 Sound System, like its sister party Lucky Cloud in London, is a delightfully wholesome and welcoming take on clubbing with a focus on track selection (rather than seamless mixing) and a family atmosphere. As the collective put it themselves, Cloud 9 is "a collective of friends and of like-minded people, a Klipschorn Hi-Fi soundsystem, and a dance party in Barcelona that traces its roots back to the New York, London and Paris audiophile scenes. Above all, Cloud 9 is a community party and a freeform open-for-all dancefloor movement.

"Cloud 9's parties have the cosy feel of a private party while being open to all, and the collective have found that the perfect place for that in Barcelona is La Nau concert hall in Poble Nou, where this winter party will go down. "A space we keep coming back to as the acoustics of the room truly elevate the analog sound system," as they explain. Soul, jazz, funk, disco and boogie and world are the base ingredients for any Cloud 9 party, and the selectors on the night will be Ricky Gamez, Alejandro Asencio, Victor Kiswell and Mild To Wild, aka Katie Belle and Martin Alé.
