Pont Aeri was a Spanish electronic music club that opened in Terrassa, near Barcelona, in December 1992. It became one of the best-known venues for makina, a fast, hard dance style popular in Spain around the turn of the century.

In July 2000 the club opened two new rooms, a "Sala Macro" in Manresa (Barcelona province) and another in Traiguera (Castellón). The Terrassa venue had become too small for its audience, and the new rooms were well received. They extended the club's reach beyond Catalonia and into the Valencian region.

The expansion coincided with the brand's most successful period. The same year the club's compilation Pont Aeri Vol. 4, containing the track "Flying Free", was released, and it later won awards from dance music magazines. The new rooms did not last long: the Manresa venue closed in December 2001 and Traiguera in January 2002. Even so, this period is remembered as the club's golden era, and it forms the background to the anthem now being documented.
