For Thursday through Sunday, September 10–13, Marula Cafe offers a small but unusually legible map of its musical priorities. Three sessions—Holy Ray with Darkomedia on Thursday, Kusuri with Rodríguez on Friday, and Sound-Ay with Thisorder on Sunday—move through a common vocabulary of soul, disco, hip-hop, house and Latin-rooted rhythm. The connecting thread is selection: each night draws from overlapping record shelves while approaching the room from a different entry point. That makes the run useful for listeners who want a club programme with continuity across several nights, without committing to one genre label for the whole weekend. Marula Cafe identifies its own range as funk, disco, soul, jazz, afrobeat, hip-hop, reggae, R&B, salsa, cumbia and related sounds; this September stretch puts that breadth into practical focus.[1][2][3][4][5]

Thursday: Holy Ray and Darkomedia open the map wide

Holy Ray and Darkomedia arrive Thursday, September 10, with a midnight calendar start, and their pairing supplies the broadest frame for the weekend. Marula Cafe describes Holy Ray as a DJ and record collector whose palette spans jazz, soul, funk, hip-hop, salsa, disco, house and Brazilian rhythms. Darkomedia’s stated approach reaches from cumbia, reggae, rumba and Brazilian and Latin music into rock, ska and club electronics, informed by over 15 years as a resident DJ at Sala Salamandra in L’Hospitalet. Those descriptions point toward a session built through transitions and shared rhythmic pressure, with funk and disco acting as useful anchors while the selectors reach outward. It is an apt opening choice for a venue whose programming has long placed musicians and dancers in close proximity, according to a recent account of Barcelona’s night-life spaces.[2][5]

Friday: Kusuri and Rodríguez bring the club pulse closer

Friday, September 11, places Kusuri and Rodríguez in the booth from 11:30 pm. Kusuri is presented by Marula Cafe as a Barcelona-based DJ and producer grounded in house and hip-hop, with funk, disco, dancehall and Latin elements also entering his sets. His solo EP arrived in 2023 through Blanco y Negro Music, and the venue describes his current direction as informed by Black music, disco’s classic era and a more organic, conceptual dance-floor approach. Rodríguez carries a complementary remit: soul, jazz, funk, disco and house, with Latin, Brazilian and African rhythms folded into the sequence. The appeal lies in that shared commitment to groove, yet the two biographies suggest distinct routes into it—Kusuri through production, house and sampling; Rodríguez through cross-era selection. Friday is the most direct route here for dancers seeking a night organised around the relationship between house rhythm and older dance-music forms.[3]

Sunday: Sound-Ay closes with vinyl and diaspora

Sound-Ay [How Sunday Sound] with Thisorder finishes the run on Sunday, September 13, from 11:59 pm. The party is described as a Sunday series led by resident DJs Thisorder and Miguelito Superstar, even as this date’s listing pairs Sound-Ay with Thisorder. Its musical language is especially precise: vinyl selections drawing on Africa, the diaspora and roots, with disco, funk, salsa and highlife named in the programme. That gives the final night a different center of gravity from Friday’s house-facing session. The records may share plenty of rhythm with the prior evenings, but Sound-Ay foregrounds percussion, dance traditions and the physical character of vinyl play. It also connects with Marula Cafe’s wider weekly ecosystem, where its jam has brought together players and dancers around soul, funk, blues, salsa and Latin jazz for a decade.[4][5]

A practical route through Escudellers

All three sessions take place at Marula Cafe, Escudellers 49, Barcelona. Thursday’s Holy Ray + Darkomedia is listed for 11:59 pm; Friday’s Kusuri + Rodríguez starts at 11:30 pm; Sunday’s Sound-Ay [How Sunday Sound] / Thisorder begins at 11:59 pm. The venue states that club-session entry is handled at the door, with Friday, Saturday and eve-of-holiday free entry between midnight and 12:30 am subject to its conditions. Recheck Marula Cafe’s official agenda and each event page before heading out, since times, admission and lineups can change.[1][2][3][4]
