So here it is, the end of another year and The Cosmic Jam party people will be seeing you out in style. Party tunes, party atmosphere, party hard!

DJ Saffrolla is flying in to rock the club again. Saffrolla is a top producer, global party rocker and regular guest on the Ninja tune Solid Steel radio show, mixing up the hip hop, breaks, miami bass, dubstep, drum and bass, reggae and anything that makes you shake it. Can’t wait for his special end of year party set…

If that wasn’t enough, the best hip hop dj in Spain on the bill as well!! DJ 2D2 is a Spanish hip hop legend. If there is a big hip hop gig in Barcelona he’s going to be on the bill! This year he has played gigs all over the world, warmed up for Grandmaster Flash and not to mention his Sonar Festival showcase in the summer, the list goes on…. 2D2 is not just about the hip hop though. In true Cosmic Jam style he has moved with the times and is a freestyle party dj of the highest order – anything goes, hip hop, baile funke, electro, baltimore all mixed in his own orignial hip hop party rocking style. Check his show on Scanner FM for a taste of what to expect.

Global SoulJah is on warm up duties for the night. If you’ve heard his Scanner FM radio show then you know what’s going to happen – all the best in global grooves, funky beats and freestyle party goodies to get you into the mood for what promises to be one of the best end of year parties in the city. RGB Corp will be handling the amazing visuals as usual and our new sound system in Mephisto will ensure that you get to hear the music LOUD & CLEAR…

If this wasn’t enough, as a very special thank you to the lovely people that have made the party so special in 2008 there won’t be an increase in the entrance price for the night!! On an evening when even the bars are charging €10 to get in and most clubs €30+, the price will be the usual €12 with a beer or a half price cubata. Let’s keep The Cosmic Jam rolling in 2009!!

BAC! Barcelona Art Contemporani

The theme of the 9th International Festival of Contemporary Art in Barcelona is: WAKE UP! Artists explore the consequences of a western world obsessed by consumerism, fashion, advertising and, in particular, the effects of the media on creating, or destroying, our notions of happiness. Photographers, designers, video artists, illustrators, sculptors and more are featured in the month-long event that includes conferences, workshops, fashion parades and some radical Bakito kids…

Fira de Santa Llucia
29/11 – 23/12/08

Okay, let’s get the shitting log and shitting man thing out of the way. As in, yes, the Catalan tradition at Christmas is to put a man doing a poo, aka the caganer, in a reasonably subtle location, somewhere behind the barn, of the nativity scene. And the way kids get their presents on a day that doesn’t celebrate the birth of a saviour but the arrival of his gifts (Jan 6) is to hit a hollow log, the cagatió, with a stick and shout, ‘shit, log, shit’. Reality shits, apparently. All these things, and more, can be found at the Christmas fair outside Barcelona Cathedral.
