To find out about the best happenings you will need to have a keen nose for a party; many are last minute or underground. The record shops and gallery spaces surrounding Sónar by Day can be a good place to start. Head to the likes of Discos Paradiso or Holala! Plaza for daytime DJs and impromptu in-stores, and to get the lowdown on what happens after dark.

As night falls, your favorite record labels will be showcasing in clubs throughout town; if you have a favorite, check their websites to find out where to head to. Get Physical will be down at The One in Poble Espanyol, BPitch can be found at an exclusive boat party and FACT are out of town at Row 14. For something a little bit different, try out Slick Dixxx’s shindig in Tibidabo.
