how it started
We spent our twenties traveling. That taught us more about people and nightlife than any job ever could. We learned what actually makes a night memorable.
Highlights
Do this long enough, and you stop guessing. You just know what works.
The best parts are the ones people don't see. It's the 3 a.m. tweaks and choosing to do things right instead of fast.

The turning point
We came back and tried to replicate our family model in a new business. Florida 135 and Monegros were the reference. It didn't work. The model was exhausted. As a last resort, we invented a daytime party. Fun, colourful, full of light and energy. We called it elrow, and it took off.
Highlights
Several failed attempts before the first one that worked. We kept going anyway.
The shift wasn't just moving the party to daytime. It was moving the focus from the DJ to the crowd.

where we are now
That daytime event, no big expectations, brought together friends, neighbours, strangers who wanted to help. From there, the business grew beyond the family. Ibiza residencies, global touring, elrow Town formats across Europe, and scaled Monegros at +55,000 people.
Highlights
Out of that chaos a community was born. People weren't coming for the DJ or the music. They were coming for the collective energy, for the feeling of building something together.
What started as a last-resort afternoon party in Viladecans became one of the most recognised live entertainment brands in the world.
