🖤 SUW 10 YEARS + FEMNOISE 🖤 🔥 Los 10 años de SUW van a ser una doble bomba. (SAB 30-05) No solo tendremos un line up de fuego en el main room… la cosa va a estar seria de verdad. Más dinamita al fuego de parte de Femnoise, que estará musicalizando la Red Room y llevando la presión de pista a otro nivel. Años agitando Barcelona con actitud, identidad y una visión contundente de la escena han convertido a este mítico colectivo en una auténtica referencia de la electrónica femenina underground en Cataluña. Techno, EBM, electro, acid y dark electronics se cruzarán en una noche diseñada para sudar, bailar y perder completamente el control. 🔥 Más tensión. Más groove. Más fuego. 🎟 Tickets — Link in Bio#suwdiscoriders #sideupworks #weareunderground #barcelonanights #technogrooves

🖤 10 YEARS OF SIDE UP WORKS 🖤 10 años ardiendo… baile, sudor, transgresión y actitud sin pedir permiso. 🔥 10 años perdiéndonos en la música para darle coherencia a este mundo loco. Dark disco, indie dance y EBM han sido el combustible con el que algunos de los referentes más potentes —globales y locales— han prendido fuego a Side Up Works, dentro del club y a lo largo de casi 50 releases que han dejado huella. Una década deconstruyendo lo establecido, forjando noches que no se olvidan. El sábado 30 ven a perder el control y celebrar nuestro ritual una vez más. 🔥 Line up: Jason Peters — dark, elegante y quirúrgico. Tensión sostenida y narrativa de pista sin concesiones. Diego Montiel b2b Radio Vega — conexión directa con el underground global. Dinámica, riesgo y energía precisa. Jessica Bellomo b2b Carmilla Sioux — EBM, actitud y groove industrial en estado puro. Intensidad sin filtros. John Justicia (LIVE) — energía en bruto y sonido directo a la pista. Coge tu ticket 🎟️ 🔥 Line up de fuego. Pure banger. 🔥 @jasonjppeters @diegomontieldj @jessicabellomo_ @carmillasioux @johnjusticiabcn @upload_barcelona #suwdiscoriders #sideupworks #barcelonanights #technogrooves #barcelonaraves

🌟 DIEGO MONTIEL REMIX PREMIERE 🌟 Today marks the premiere date for Diego Montiel‘s take on Ketarion. Diego and I met in Barcelona at the end of 2016, at that time he was managing a club that greatly shaped Barcelona’s nightlife for several years: This Side UP. That special space then strongly influenced me as an artist as the variety of DJs and producer invited was incredibly good, ranging from dark Techno to indie dance, disco and much more. In 2019 I was booked to perform as PETRU LIVE for a night that will always stay in my memory ✨ ‘The rest is history’: I moved to London, Diego started Be Side School for electronic music, Side Up Works label and SHEA radio… a true model of hard work and accomplishment. We met again years later for his gig at Berghain, playing for Keyi Magazine 🏢 The track Ketarion was first drafted in Barcelona, it symbolises my evolution over the years and it’s a honour Diego accepted to put his indie-dance-dark-disco (dark but happy!) touch to it. Special thanks to Proton for the premiere – Proton is a global pillar and platform for underground electronic music, with a focus on progressive house, split into a radio, a distribution, and a powerhouse tech ecosystem dedicated to growing independent electronic labels. Ketarion (Diego Montiel Remix), mastered by Arnaud Le Texier, is part of Part 5, the latest installment of the Kolibri Live series, continues my exploration of the intersection between raw live energy and polished studio production. It’s a collection that captures a specific moment of transition—blending atmospheric textures with the driving, melodic rhythms that have come to define my recent sound. Available on Kolibri Space Shuttle’s Bandcamp, and to pre-purchase on Beatport. Streaming on Spotify and all platforms. PETRU KSS - Kolibri Live Part 5 1. Kasioppea (Original Mix) 2. Kasioppea (Hannes Bieger Remix) 3. Liminal Orbit (BONDE Remix) 4. Ketarion (Rework) 5. Ketarion (Diego Montiel Remix) 6.

💥 SUW WEEKEND INNUENDO SHOWCASE FEAT. DIEGO MONTIEL B2B JO KAZAN — LA TERRRAZZA 💥 Diego Montiel y Jo Kazan se unen en SUW Weekend Innuendo Showcase en un B2B que fusiona visión, identidad y energía de club dentro de la escena barcelonesa. Nacido en Buenos Aires y residente en Barcelona desde 2006, Diego Montiel es una figura clave en el desarrollo de la escena electrónica — combinando Indie Dance, Italo, Dark Disco y EBM en viajes cargados de emoción y estética retrofuturista. Más allá de la cabina, su impacto se extiende a través de proyectos como BeSide School, SUW Parties, Side Up Works Records y SHEA Radio, impulsando una comunidad global. A su lado, Jo Kazan, originario de Francia y también afincado en Barcelona, aporta un enfoque refinado y de carácter cósmico. Como Label Manager de Cabana Libre Records, su sonido fusiona Indie Dance, Italo, Trance y Dark Disco, reinterpretando la esencia synth de los 80 y 90 desde una perspectiva actual. Juntos construyen un diálogo entre groove y emoción, nostalgia y futurismo — una sesión donde texturas analógicas, ritmos hipnóticos y tensión melódica se desarrollan en una narrativa compartida. En La Terrrazza, este B2B se convierte en una experiencia open-air donde energía, identidad y conexión fluyen en un mismo pulso. #SUWWeekend #InnuendoShowcase #DiegoMontiel #JoKazan#LaTerrrazza #MelodicTechno #IndieDance #ElectroGroove #UndergroundElectronic #BarcelonaEvents #OpenAirVibes

🚨🚨 RELEASE ALERT Side Up Works welcomes Diego Montiel with SUW045, an EP built on immersive storytelling and strong rhythmic impact. “Boarding to Nowhere” unfolds through deep sonic architecture, where a pulsing bassline and hypnotic sequences create steady, elegant tension. “Dancefloor Confessions” raises the intensity with a brighter, more emotional groove, blending club drive with melodic touches that connect instantly. Simple Symmetry delivers an expansive reinterpretation of “Boarding to Nowhere,” rich in psychedelic color and cosmic motion, while Adrian Marth reinforces its physical dimension with a direct, high-impact club version. Damon Jee reshapes “Dancefloor Confessions” into a sophisticated high-voltage tool, infused with darkness, drama and irresistible groove. A versatile release designed for both peak-time energy and solitary late-night listening. SUW045 captures the essence of Side Up Works: emotion, elegance and power in perfect alignment. Enjoy it anywhere.
