During this month, Industrial Copera once again proves that when it comes to high-quality programming, very few clubs can match its level.
Granada is a benchmark city in the global electronic scene, and much of that status is undoubtedly due to the work and indomitable spirit of Industrial Copera. The venue has achieved what very few clubs manage over their lifetime: transcending its activity to become a feeling, a way of doing things, and a way of understanding club culture. Throughout May, Industrial Copera presents a top-tier lineup, with events that explore electronic music from different perspectives:
CANTERAS AFTERPARTY – SATURDAY, MAY 9
On Saturday, May 9, Parque de El Albero in La Zubia will be filled with music, nature, and good vibes with the first edition of a festival organized by Industrial Copera. After this intense musical and sensory experience, the energy and stimulating rhythms will move to Industrial Copera for an epic afterparty.
There, you’ll dance with O.B.F. Soundsystem. This collective, originally formed by producer Rico, Operator G, and Stef, emerged in the mid-2000s with a visionary and powerful dub proposal. Strongly influenced by Jamaican reggae and 90s UK dub, Original Bass Foundation began as an underground sound system, mainly performing at squat parties and illegal raves in Geneva.
You’ll also enjoy Lechuga Zafiro, who moves along the boundary between the exploratory nature of club culture and the poetics of sound design. This Uruguayan artist and DJ seeks to express, through his music, the nuances of the Latin American experience. Bigote will also perform, a DJ and producer born in Madrid and based in Granada for the past 15 years. It was there that he launched the Caballito Netlabel project with Grita, releasing over 100 works by producers from all over the world.
REMEMBER FANTASY FLUOR EDITION – FRIDAY, MAY 15
Breakbeat is more alive than ever, and to celebrate it, there’s nothing better than a retro party brought by HEAT with its REMEMBER FANTASY FLUOR EDITION. You’ll enjoy an incredible lineup featuring DJ Quest, DJ Killer, The Brainkiller, DJ Man, Tortu, Mr Fli vs Jan B, Jose Rodriguez vs Norbak, DJ Memo aka Kid Caravan, Maribel, Anita Breakz, V. Aparicio, Ballon, Vinilo, and Speak Reality.
34TH ANNIVERSARY – SATURDAY, MAY 16
For its 34th anniversary, the iconic venue pays tribute to the origin of it all: Detroit. On Saturday, May 16 from 6:00 PM, get ready for an event of epic proportions with a lineup that will make you dream.
A tribute to Detroit wouldn’t be complete without Kevin Saunderson, who will also perform with Inner City. The group continues to keep the spirit of the Motown sound alive with a powerful live show that will find the perfect setting at Industrial Copera. DJ Bone b2b FJAKK will also perform, bringing together two generations of artists from Detroit to Berlin.
In addition, El Jardín will host a takeover by Selectors, the brand by Anika Kunst. Alongside her will be Kriz, Alienata, Rocco.FX (Live), Amulador, NOT.ME (Live), Tax Adviser, and YDOOW.
TUTTIPARI – FRIDAY, MAY 22
Tuttispace is a safe space in Granada that supports visibility and opportunities for LGTBIQ+ and BIPOC communities. Tuttipari is a safe environment for everyone, where people can freely be themselves and enjoy the night without fear of judgment or verbal or physical aggression—only admiration and celebration.
This time, the main act will be Piolinda Marcela, the “husband-stealing DJ,” one of the most unique and provocative figures in contemporary popular culture. This Colombian artist has transformed irony, humor, and irreverence into a musical project with a strong identity.
VORTEX – SATURDAY, MAY 23
One of the most exciting concepts at Industrial Copera is undoubtedly VORTEX, and this edition will be headlined by Dave Clarke. Known worldwide as “The Baron of Techno” (a nickname given by the legendary BBC host John Peel), Dave Clarke is a key and influential figure in the history of techno and electronic music. DJ, producer, remixer, and host of the iconic radio show White Noise, Clarke stands out for his authenticity, punk attitude, and uncompromising approach. Originally from Brighton and now based in Amsterdam, he has shaped generations with his unmistakable sound: raw techno, dark electro, and unstoppable energy in every set.
He will be joined in the main room by S.Ø.K.A.R, one of the youngest and most promising emerging DJs and producers in the Spanish electronic scene. His sound, characterized by dark, immersive, and hypnotic atmospheres, reveals a versatile artist capable of adapting to any format while maintaining a unique musical identity. The night will also feature Le Coné, founder of Vortex and T-Label, a key figure in the southern techno scene for over a decade.
In El Jardín, Álvaro Sánchez and KNTNR will take over.
ADRIÁN MILLS ALL NIGHT LONG – SATURDAY, MAY 30
Fans of harder sounds are in luck, as the month will close with an epic performance at Industrial Copera. Adrián Mills will take on a historic all-night-long set. Founder and driving force behind 240 KM/H, this platform brings together a new generation of DJs and producers, operates as an independent label, and organizes events featuring high-quality artists from both the national and international techno scenes.
Adrián is known for his eclectic and dynamic musical style, covering a wide range of powerful sounds. His sonic palette includes (early) hardstyle, hardcore, acid, and hard techno, all fused with unique elements such as ghetto influences and vocals.
