More about Wisdom Tits:
Wisdom Tits is the Berlin-based project by Caillou, French-German DJ, curator and one-half of MILK ME, alongside Paty Vapor, Brazilian DJ, curator, part of Wrong Era, Slow Motion Records, and resident at the Berlin based club Sameheads. Together they run their party series focused on highlighting Minimal Synth, Synthpunk, Post Punk and No Wave.

Their research is focused on dark electronics and old-school sounds with an avant-garde touch. A blend of percussive drums, powerful basslines, synthetic melodies and immersive vocals, connecting the past with the future. Shifting constantly between low and high BPM, they infect the dance floor with their selection.

More about Ombra Festival:
OMBRA is a project born from two melancholic music lovers who could not find anywhere around them where they could share and enjoy the passion that united them.

In their eagerness to find the perfect setting, they came across an ideal space that seemed to fulfil everything they had imagined but, although it housed the essence of the temple they were looking for for two years, it was finally taken away from them by the establishment, which did not allow them to continue their adventures there.

So it was that after two long years in search of the “lost Ark” they came across what is probably the most industrial and gigantic architectural space in Barcelona: the former Enmasa factory, Empresa Nacional de Motores de Aviación, an emblematic building that forms part of the city’s rich history. Designed by the architect Robert Terrades, it is located in the outlying district of Sant Adrià and was built between 1940 and 1975 following the aesthetic canons of the modern and rationalist movement, which moulded its structure and endowed it with a sober and overwhelming magnificence.
