For a more overt clue to what you'll find in their record collections, check their sister project, Desparrame. This is a joint venture with their childhood friend and our local hero, DJ K**O. The crew have come together to bring us both a music blog and sporadic parties. The blog was started back in 2008 and gained speedy notoriety as one of Spain's top sources for music. K**O explains, “You can expect anything on the blog really – tons of old and new music, obscure Spanish 80s gems, our favorite record covers and movie posters, stupid videos, exclusive mixes, info about our parties and some art too.”
Alongside the blog there are the parties. And these boys know how to party. K**O explains, “The word ‘Desparrame’ refers to the point when things get out of control and that’s what we aim for.” The parties are not about pretensions: "It’s as simple as having fun and dancing to the music that we love – could be rap, grime, R&B, Chicago house, 80s boogie or the latest Night Slugs release."
If you fancy checking out one of these legendary blow-outs, they are throwing a party called C.A.L.O.R. at the Apolo’s Nitsa Club on July 30th with the Arkestra Discos crew. They will be playing alongside David Ghetto, Mwëslee, Catalan label Hivern and Spanish hip hop group Matador Rockers.
