On 8 January I celebrated my birthday in the mountains, in a beautiful house surrounded by forests, together with 25 of my closest friends. We danced and celebrated for 2 days, and officially kick started the 2022 season of @cabanalibre parties!

This set took form on Saturday night, around 2 AM, when the forest creatures were undulating their bodies to the laser shapes and bass vibrations. Enjoy.

Barcelona Based 
Music Curator at @CabanaLibre @cabanalibreguestmix
Co- founder 🍒🍒  @cherriesontopbcn

Valerie Jane is a longtime lover and member of the electronic music scene, with her career starting in Los Angeles and Detroit before making a significant move to Barcelona in 2017 where she honed her skills and developed her musical identity. Originally from Chihuahua, Mexico, she has become a global musical nomad, leaving her mark on prestigious venues and festivals worldwide.
She is renowned for infusing her sets with funky Latin vibes that keep crowds dancing all night. Additionally, she serves as the Music Curator of Cabana Libre and as co-founder and community manager of the female DJ collective Cherries On Top.

Alice Youngling is a Swiss-born, Barcelona-based DJ making waves with her infectious energy and distinctive blend of groovy, techy, and soulful house. 

Since relocating to Barcelona in 2020, Alice has quickly become a driving force in the local scene—holding down residencies at Tunnel (Sala Bikini) and with the vibrant collective Cabana Libre, where she also plays a key role behind the scenes as event production manager.

Her global lifestyle and deep love for house music fuel a sound that’s bold, rhythmic, and deeply connected to the dance floor. Whether she’s playing an intimate club or a festival stage, Alice brings undeniable heat and charisma—always delivered with her trademark bass face.

In 2024, she was selected as one of the ten finalists in Elrow’s Up&Coming Talent Program, cementing her status as one to watch in Europe’s electronic music scene. With an unmistakable style and a rising international profile, Alice Youngling is just getting started.

In constant search for unique event locations and dirty bass lines.

I'm a lover of art and innovation. 
Started fooling around with vinyls a few summers back, and kept falling in love with different knobs and effect buttons. I tend to take the crowd on journeys with one-way tickets. I honestly never know what I'm gonna play next - so get ready for a rollercoaster of genres!

Founded Cabana Libre @cabanalibre in November 2016 together with @cabanaint and haven't stopped celebrating life ever since.

Genocide, June 2025:
Israel is only the executioner, every nation which has armed that country in the past year is an accessory to that genocide, an accomplice, a facilitator.  We cannot talk about war crimes because when you target unarmed civilians, mostly women and children, we are talking about a massacre, like terrorists do, not a war. The people who orchestrated that massacre, in the US, the most duplicitous, followed by those of the UK, Germany, France, and probably a few lesser ones should be tried for crimes against humanity just as well as Netanyahu and his cabinet, because it has been going on for two years, generously reported by media of all kinds, so the enablers knew exactly how the arms were to be used, as a tool for revenge, domination, and humiliation of the Palestinian people.  The conflict has ceased to be about the defense of anything for months.

The parties responsible have made a mockery of decency, morals, fairness, proportion, or justice, not to mention empathy.  Of what little there was, these concepts will be a lot longer to come back than they were to be struck down.  

Is it 1984 already?!?!

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  I have tried a few times to get back into it but SoundCloud doesn't trust me.  Same phone number, same email addresses, and they still claim that they can't verify my identity.  I created that account about three years ago as a substitute to my regular account which SoundCloud temporarily closed.  They closed it as part of some upgrade procedure in their system, the result of a bug that affected many accounts, about two years ago.  Since SC did not inform its users I didn't know if that was permanent or not, so I created that other account which I can't access.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

This one here (957729823) is for regular folks.

I love you, both.

...

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
... Sorry Joe. =(
...

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.

Cabana is musical voyeur who’s style can best be described as Groovy Tribal & Techno. 

He’s been exploring the different forms of cultural expression through rhythms, dance and theatre and integrating them into his sets. When Cabana gets on stage he will take you on an adventure, sharing with you the love he’s collected along the way.
Passion is the driving force behind everything Cabana does, and it has allowed him to prioritize quality at every step. He’s inspired by artists such as Adam Port, Palms Trax and CC:Disco! for their ability to mesmerize a crowd.

Cabana Libre creates contemporary art experiences in unique locations around Barcelona. Thinking of joining the next one?

DJ based in Barcelona.

love and inspired by good music, good vibes and good snacks❣️
