Welcome to Lasal’s music blog

Lasal started to swap the traditional concept of Spain’s chiringuito with an up-to-date proposal lead by a nightly, free musical activity – an unprecedented idea among this kind of venues.

15 summers later, Lasal still feels this philosophy, with an open, careful and consolidated music programme, specially focused on the more contemporary rhythms of electronic and black music. The soundtrack of the beach is set up by a ever-changing decoration – an extension of the bar structure, which is meant to fit in its natural location by the sea.

Listen to Lasal’s best DJ sets here soon

This blog’s aim is to let you keep up with all that’s happening at Lasal music-wise.

The first stuff we’ll be throwing in here are the best DJ sets that have taken place at the beach during the summer. We’ll be broadcasting them through Lasal’s podcast (stay tuned for the official launch online now!) and post the links to them here.
