    Just experienced this at This Ain’t No Picnic festival. It was amazing. Music selection was out of this world.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again: we need Despacio in every major city in the world. Keep it going 24/7. Before too long, world peace.
  • Had the pleasure of going to the first ever Despscio show at Manchester International Festival and it was unreal. Can't believe that was so long ago and I'm still yearning to go again.

    I remember the first time I listened to Soulwax and I nearly lost my shit. The same thing happened for LCD Soundsystem. To even be in their presence has always been a dream of mine. This takes it to a whole other level. I wish I could experience Despacio with James Murphy & Flying Dewaele Brothers...

    Experienced the Despacio soundsystem at All Points East festival. By far, far the best thing there. It was unbelievable, but what's more is that the vibe was lovely; people dancing and enjoying themselves, old and young. Oh yeah, and smiling. Perfect.

    WOW ... this is an actual VIDEO !!! I've seen the photo online for years and years now, but never thought there was a video to it.

    "The chef doesn't stand at the front of the restaurant and throw food at people." This was great to watch, and looked like a lot of FUN!
  • @electrocute1979
    We love you, James Murphy. The world desperately needs more people like you.
  • @giomig1
    Experienced Despacio at iii points Miami. Phenomenal! Thank you for bringing back that “underground” feeling!
  • Very similar to the thought that David Mancuso had in mind when he built the systems at the Loft. That moved into the garage experience and every great system since!
  • @aachafin
    Finally DJ's that care about high quality audio.....
  • @dmart2311
    Just saw this bad boy at Coachella… I’m tryna figure out how they curate that much music how do they just nail it for hours like that
  • @librarykils
    this is actually one of the coolest things i've heard about in a long time. they did a great job explaining their motivations and stuff.
  • @InternetThe
    Cool to see something like this outside of the dub scene.
  • @julianmarquez
    6:00 These guys understood everything that had to be understood in the music business...
  • @antoh07
    I was at this years ago at Electric Picnic; we're still talking about it. Brilliant!
  • @edkenndy
    Great idea and impressive execution! Those mcintosh amps sheeeeesh
  • @JonathanRyeland
    Amazing. I have always been the guy looking around the dance floor and not up at the DJ. I have dreamed of being at a party that focuses on the sound and the people dancing rather than idolizing the DJ (as hip and talented as they are). Even though I live thousands of kilometers away from Manchester I feel one step closer to dancing on that dreamy dance floor. Thanks.

    Went on the Saturday. Breath of fresh air when compared to WHP and such. This is people who love music playing for people who love music. Its not about the money like with WHP.
