The nightlife success story of 2014 in Barcelona was, without a doubt, the Glove Parties. Hosted by the talismanic Italian Raver Jewish, the decadent fiestas have taken a fresh angle on dancefloor events. Free entry for early arrivers, eminently affordable after – an emphasis on local spinners of classic and modern disco, rocking the party faithful under the collective love for the Glove.
BARTS’ loft-esque has provided the perfect set for the burgeoning team, cozy enough for atmosphere never to be lacking, large enough to fit your crew with little discomfort. The red drapes add a burlesque touch, and possibly the city’s cleanest and most secure toilets are a massive boon for a number of reasons essential to the success of the fiesta. With a crowd of carefree creatives, fashionable photographers and modest models, Glove Party is quite simply the closest we can come to a Spanish Studio 54.
Tonight’s program includes a live concert by M.A.D. plus DJs Angel Funke, Beta-Tutor and Raver Jewish. Taking into account the late nights desired by Signore Jewish, he will lead his merry band of extravagantly-attired Glovers to the after-party at the intriguingly-named Jesus venue, where he promises a marathon five-hour set of that famed digital disco.
