Sundays are too often spent dreading Mondays, when if possible, they should be about techno. It's not in every European city that you have a healthy bill of techno Titans lining up to hammer a dancefloor, but in Barcelona that's exactly what you have thanks to Pacha.
The famous club brand's Spanish outpost has a stellar season of underground events lined up throughout February and March. Testing the sound system will be some of the biggest crowd pulling DJs from the techno scene as top brands FACT and Insane take turns to do their business. First up in the role is Insane with Romanian trio Premiesku playing live alongside Rick Maia and HERR on 7th February. The week after it'll be the turn of FACT with Sebastian Mullaert who also produces under his alias Minilogue.
March is another solid month and we've got to first mention that Cocoon boss, Sven Väth, is in on the 13th. He'll be taking over from fellow German Christian Burkhardt in what is no doubt going to be a sell-out. Papa Sven's middle slot aside, you've got big things coming in from local record label Yakazi on the 6th, and from further afield, where the techno heads find their medicine, you have Berlin based record labels Mobilee and Watergate Records filling the last two weeks of the month.
If you're looking for any excuse to jump on a plane for a weekend break then let techno be your calling card. Pacha Barcelona's Facebook page gives away passes for lucky winners who like and share the event, so keep that in mind if you've been tempted.
