Dona Festa, Barcelona June 2020:
Like every year, June has arrived. But in 2020 it has been awkward. June doesn’t feel as always. It feels like “New Normal”.
That means no big parties, no reunions, no liturgy, no festivals. And in Barcelona it means no Sonar Festival. Even worse, it means no Off Week.
I have been living in Barcelona for a long time. As a clubber and raver, I used to live that week with a lot of dancing and not much sleep. I remember over 15 years ago, when all the city transformed itself into a huge free party, full of sound systems and anarchy. No fucking rules. After that, regulations moved the rave to the clubs. Then the events started to pop up like mushrooms, giving you the opportunity to dance without rest for the whole week.
This year, for the first time ever, the celebration of some of the most important nights of HEX in Barcelona as the Off Week and the night of Sant Juan, will not be possible.

TRACK & VIDEOCLIP
Metal. Metal. More metal. Build to advance. Build to keep growing. But also build to destroy. And destroy to build again. This is how the metal circuit plays in the day-to-day of the human being. To melt it, to forge it, to create it, to assemble it, to transport it, to use it… to end up destroying it.

For the 3rd time, HEX is ready to take over the biggest and most emblematic club in Barcelona, Razzmatazz, along with a strong ravey lineup.
For the first time at HEX, the British artist Paula Temple and her high voltage music landed in INPUT, our church in Barcelona. An unforgettable night full of remarkable moments that will stay in our memories for a long time.
On the brand’s first showcase in the Spanish capital, we caught up with the Madrid native Kwartz for a little chat after his incredible set, closing the event from 8:30am until 12pm (noon).

The look of the resting areas were along the same lines as the stages, with barrels where you could sit on and take a well-deserved rest from the relentless beats.
For another edition, DGTL Barcelona took place at Parc Del Fòrum, an enormous concrete park on the very limits of the catalan capital. The location could be described as intriguing, labyrinthine and industrial, perfectly fitting the underground Techno style of the artists at the Generator Stage. Shipping crates were placed to delineate the stage and spice things up, something which showed the amount of work the organizers put into the event.
The relentless, thumping drum kicks shot by the massive Funktion-One stacks filled our bodies with the heavy grooves, making the Generator Stage our home for the weekend.
