MARICAS Records 

MARICAS is a Spanish FLINTA (female, lesbians, intersexuals, non-binary and trans) collective, club night and record label based in Barcelona. It was created in 2018 by three queer womxn: Eloisa Blitzer, Gina Guasch and house techno DJ, ISAbella, due to a lack of safe spaces for queer women in the electronic music world. MARICAS has become a household name in the Barcelona queer scene, and has taken their party to over 25 cities across Europe.
