Loud-Contact NYE
By Aimee Lawrence
Barcelona promoter Loud-Contact has a well-earned reputation for throwing some of the best parties in the city, known to most for their killer weekend-long sessions during the week known unofficially as “off Sónar.” If unfamiliar with their electronic terrain, these are your guys for booking masters of minimal sounds, with the likes of Rhadoo, Ricardo Villalobos, Margaret Dygas, tINI, Praslea, Raresh, Sonja Moonear and Nicolas Lutz all tuning in with Loud-Contact’s clubbers through the years.
Kicking off their 12-hour session at 1am, this won’t be your choice for the bells, but it’s certainly a good spot for tearing into 2020. The lineup is solid, with esteemed Berlin selectors Binh & Vera, Turkish veteran DJ Onur Özer and Barcelona-based digger Lumiere. Adding to this event’s appeal is its secret location, because who doesn’t get off on an element of suspense when a decent party is at the end of the trail?
