All You Can Eat Buffetlibre

We've posted tons of stuff from Buffetlibre over the years. They've done so much it's hard to even keep up with these guys. Indie, synth, house, whatever, if they love it they support it. They've donated their skills, their time, and their tunes to causes, charities, compilations and just about anything else that they think is worthy. But who are they?

Buffetlibre is a duo of DJs from Barcelona which, since its formation, have combined their efforts in the most prestigious clubs throughout Europe with a flurry of activity of musical promotion.

Taking some time for themselves, the group is still working on their debut album. And judging by the quality of everything else they've done and the sneak peak below I'm sure we're going to be into one hell of a treat. So while they're working on the record (hurry up guys...we're dyin' over here), enjoy, "A Song For Elaine."

A few weeks ago, we posted the announcement by Buffetlibre DJ's about their latest offering PEACE Aside from the obvious what is PEACE all about?

PEACE is conceived as the first musical atlas online, with more than 150 brand new songs by artists from more than 50 countries/territories. PEACE will be available digitally worldwide on April 12, with buyers needing to make a minimum donation to Amnesty International through a specially-designed website. All donations will go towards Amnesty International's campaigns on human rights.

The list of participating artists spans the globe and covers the continents. From the US to Burundi and everything in between, PEACE, is a massive undertaking.
