One of the flagship parties of the resuruous era that crosses the Valencian scene, Special k It enters what will be its eighth year of existence turned into one of the brands that generates more expectations and followers at the local level. From the hand of a series of impeccable posters and an excellent community created in the dance floor, this party represents the spirit of the rebirth of the Valencian electronic scene.
Under the slogan “Underground Resistance Forever” Special K brings to the table a proposal that aims to establish the underground identity within Valencia. His passage through Salas as Barrack and Spook, as well as a series of private events in secret locations have given the brand a negligible curriculum.
A space in the scene that is necessary Carlos Caballerifounder of the brand, who has commented to Wololo “Special-K was born with the idea of showing people the essence of underground music, always choosing special spaces where they have no sound limitation and thus be able to feel and enjoy 100%music”
So, that it is, in the opinion of the current roster of local artists that makes this a unique party compared to any other? In the words of Alvaro Martínez, better known as Varis, One of the brand’s residents “Special K was born with the purpose of offering an underground music proposal, with good sound, in a good space and surrounded by good people“
And, in our opinion, it is by the hand of these 4 precepts that Special K has become a space through which artists such as Ludwig, Alexia Glensy, and SILVERLININGto name a few. All of them referents of the Underground internationally and artists of the most absolute quality.
The road, however, continues to be one full of obstacles and challenges. If electronic music is in itself a complicated industry and that demands total resilience, its underground side is much more. About this speaks to us PIZICATTOthe other resident of the brand and one of the most recognized artists in the Valencian scene.
On the activity of the underground spectrum side of the scene, Pizzicatto told Wololo “Underground is very difficult to work it, because it is for a selective and minority audience, living from the underground is very difficult, everyone who is in the scene knows it, but we try to resist and try to maintain the ideals of the brand.”
Challenges and everything, Special K does not show intention to lower the rhythm. Walking at a firm step, the goal for 2025 is more than clear, according to Caballeri. “The address right now is clear: events in Spook where we can share and bring international artists who have never come to Valencia, continue betting for secret parties where the underground essence multiplies, and ensure that when people see the brand think of a Day where music will be the main dish and where artists are going to take risks so that people can hear something different. ”
A proposal full of energy, selected grooves and good vibes, which is felt both at the audience and in the public. With the rise of the Macro Salas and the festivals, this recipe is increasingly in danger of disappearing, giving even more relevance to these spaces/parties/brands. Do you want to understand what underground means? Valencia and Special K are waiting for you on the dance floor.
Underground Resistance Forever!
