  • Long-running Barcelona club Raum will move its Saturday nights to Museum Poble Espanyol as of this weekend. The downtown Barcelona spot will kick off its Raum residency with a new 60,000 watt sound system, and a night hosting one of electronic music's most popular brands, Cocoon. From its origins as a Frankfurt nightclub, Cocoon has expanded into a global name, thanks to the popularity of its flamboyant head Sven Väth, a long-running Ibizan residency at Amnesia, and artists like Cassy, Ricardo Villalobos and Josh Wink in its roster. Dinky's links to Cocoon go back to 2005 with the release of her Acid In My Fridge EP; since then, the Chilean born producer's wide-ranging tastes have seen her turn in techno, experimental minimal and ambient for labels like Wagon Repair and Vakant, but her appearance on Saturday should reflect the uptempo house of her recent Cocoon mix CD Musica Libre. Frenchman Guillaume Duchastel is the man behind the enthusiastic moniker DJ W!ld, and he's become a staple of Cocoon's Monday nights in Ibiza, alongside his residency for Circo Loco. His Raum set should feature plenty of previews of his forthcoming debut album Palace, due out in March. He and Dinky will be joined by Raum resident C-More. Tickets for Inauguracion Raum Club feat Cocoon are available now from RA Tickets.
