  • Barcelona's Raum Club will throw two birthday parties for itself this month, with Cassy and Fatboy Slim as guests. Raum has become a cornerstone of the city's nightlife since it opened in 2006, bridging the gap between underground and well-known artists throughout its five years of operation. Steve Lawler headlined the previous birthday bash, and Matias Aguayo, Anja Schneider and Ibiza's Zoo Project have all appeared throughout the last 12 months. The first birthday event takes place this Saturday, with Cocoon and Panorama Bar resident Cassy. The producer, DJ and vocalist has graced labels like Perlon and Ostgut Ton with her loopy and moody 12-inches, and she'll likely provide a deeper shade of house for Raum punters on Saturday. Two weeks later, the marquee appeal will be high with the appearance of UK big beat pioneer Fatboy Slim. Before he crossed over to the pop charts with his iconic album You've Come Along Way Baby in 1999, the Brighton producer was already a veteran of the UK dance scene, behind the scenes of the Beats International and Pizzaman production outfits. Despite big beat's downturn in popularity, Fatboy Slim remains a perennial party favourite, and his sold-out appearance at Raum looks to be another logjam affair. The first Raum birthday event will be supported by club resident Vincent Abbo, and fellow Raum jock Will Deluxe will appear at the second. Tickets for 5 Years Raum can be found here on RA.
