Houseum at 303
By Kit Macdonald
La Textil Collective's 303 Audiophile Bar is one of the two or three best listening bars Barcelona has to offer, with a music policy focused on house and techno, a fabulous sound system designed and provided by the French company L-Acoustics, and superb craft beers made at La Textil's Barcelona brewery. This event is a showcase curated by the French label and YouTube channel Houseum, who have selected two renowned French diggers for the occasion.
DJ Houseum is the founder of the label and channel and a tireless seeker of rare and obscure treasures from house music's past and present. Balthazar Martinez, meanwhile, has been resident in Berlin for more than a decade and is behind the much-loved event series and radio show Spread The Groove, on the radio station Refuge Worldwide, which operates out of a warehouse space in the east of the city. Entry is free before 11pm, and €5 after that, paid on the door.
