James Murphy and 2ManyDJs teamed up to build their dream soundsystem this year in New Century Hall for the Manchester International Festival last month in Manchester, UK. The Despacio Soundsystem, which they originally planned to create for their own “true Balearic” night in Ibiza, was designed to be a vinyl-only soundsystem:
“Eight speaker stacks each standing at 11 feet, 48 McIntosh amplifiers at £22,000 a piece, close to 50,000 watts averaging 100db on the dancefloor”
Watch James, David, and Stephen talk about the creation of the soundsystem and their back-to-basics approach to the club and night itself in the video below – including why James thinks that DJing is more like being a chef in a restaurant than some might like to admit:
