Release Info:

As Barcelona prepares for the peak of the summer season, Jackies Music Records presents the "Off Barcelona Sampler 2026", a definitive four-track collection arriving on June 12th. Following our recent showcase at IMS Ibiza, this release captures the high-octane energy of the city’s rooftop parties and open-air dancefloors during its most iconic month. The compilation serves as a sonic bridge between global influences and the Mediterranean’s unique clubbing spirit, bringing together a diverse roster of artists who share a commitment to the "Real House Music" philosophy.

The journey begins with the Seoul-born, Paris-raised Grace Kim. A classically trained pianist from the National Conservatory of Paris, Grace Kim translates her profound musical depth into a club-focused sound that is punchy and full of character. Her signature style leans into a dynamic, accessible form of tech house, marked by sharp grooves and a driving energy that mirrors the infectious presence she brings to her performances behind the decks across Europe.

The sampler's momentum continues with Mainline, a London-based production duo whose chemistry is the result of over a decade of friendship and shared decks. Channeling the golden era of 90s House and Disco, they deliver a modern interpretation of the classic groove. Their contribution—defined by funky basslines and chunky drums—adds a nostalgic yet forward-thinking layer to the compilation, reinforcing their reputation as one of the UK's most rapidly emerging acts to watch.

Expanding on that nostalgic vibration, the Paris-based duo Yamajoy brings the quintessential "French Touch" to the Jackies catalog. Formed within the Mégaparté collective, their sound is a sophisticated cocktail of round basslines, disco strings, and pulsating house beats. By blending 90s piano layers with a generous dose of melody, Yamajoy provides the perfect daytime-to-nighttime transition, capturing the sun-drenched essence of a Barcelona summer.

Rounding out the collection is the Madrid-based rising star Devel, whose work is defined by a meticulous balance of house and tech house. Infusing his production with old-school nuances and references to the 80s and 90s, Devel delivers the kind of energetic, living rhythms that have already earned him the backing of titans like Jamie Jones and Solomun. His contribution provides a powerful finale to the sampler, grounding the release in a sound that is both unmistakable and deeply rooted in pure dancefloor functionality.

Ultimately, the Off Barcelona Sampler 2026 is more than just a collection of tracks; it is a testament to Jackies’ ongoing mission to unite the global house community under one rhythm. As the city transforms into the epicenter of electronic music this June, these four artists provide the essential soundtrack for the moments where the sun meets the sea and the music takes control. Whether on a packed terrace or an intimate basement, this release ensures that the spirit of the Barcelona summer resonates long after the final beat.
