Growing stronger every summer, Space's underground techno exploration Kehakuma has joined forces with the Spanish fiesta of frivolity, El Row. Well, they do say opposites attract, and we feel that the boisterous and colourful nature of El Row in the Discoteca will be the perfect contrast to the Kehakuma Terraza's deep and dark, serious music lover vibe.
So onto the names! It's the usual high standard of artists for Kehakuma, with Nina Kraviz, Javi Bora, DVS1, Levon Vincent, Matthew Herbert, Italojohnson, Space Dimension Controller, Gerd Janson b2b Robert Dietz, Los Suruba, Danny Daze, Koze, John Talabot, Marcel Dettman, Levon Vincent, Robert Hood, Andrea Oliva, DJ Harvey and Move D all on their way to the Terraza this summer, plus two appearances from the Visionquest boys and live sets from Henrik Schwarz, Octave One, Point G, Shed and The Oliverwho Factory.
Over in the Discoteca, Elrow has ramped up its headliner quota, no longer just relying on the trusty residents De la Swing, Oscar Aguilera, Marc Maya, Toni Varga and Raul Mezcolanza, but bringing in bigger DJs on the global scene and with it greater variety to the El Row sound. El Row welcomes Digitalism, Fritz Kalkbrenner, Riva Starr, Technasia, Tiga, 2ManyDJs, Sasha Carassi, Anja Schneider, Umek, Seth Troxler, Los Suruba (who also play Kehakuma), Vitalic, Pleasurekraft and Crookers.
Kehakuma had all the right ingredients, quality line-ups not least of all, but was sometimes lacking a bit of spark in the atmosphere. Enter El Row, the masters of high-energy atmosphere. Should be a large season for Space Saturdays.
