Oso. That’s Bear in Spanish. Why do you need to know that? Well, on 19th November, superstar DJ Dave Urania is jetting over from Madrid for a special set at XXL, bringing European party vibes to heat up the bear den.
After DJing at parties all over the continent, from Lisbon to Rome to Barcelona (said with the same sexy lisp that Penelope Cruz does in Vicky Christina Barcelona), he brings his distinctive brand of tribal house to the arches. You’re going to be taken back to drunkenly dancing with your top tucked in your shorts at a Spanish circuit party. He’ll make you forget that you’re in London in mid-November. Trust us, he will.
With the Madrilenian pumping big beats in the main space, camper frolics will be found in the Fur Room with Dave Robson and Joe Egg supplying knickers-dropping pop all night long. Add in the free-flowing beer and the burliest of the burliest in attendance, plus a darkened maze for when those two forces inevitably combine, XXL is always an guaranteed scream and
a Saturday night down in the arches is the perfect tonic to cure your winter blues.
Oh, and aside from oso, what other lingo will you need to get by? Well, culo is butt, caliente is hot, and chorizo is still chorizo. That should probably be enough to start with, really. Any further attempt at learning Spanish, or any other foreign language for that matter, is heavily frowned-upon post-Brexit.
• Dave Urania is at XXL on Saturday 19th November at Pulse, 1 Invicta Plaza, SE1. 9pm – 7am. £10 members, £15 guests.
