DJ Koolt has been synonymous with Montevideo’s underground since the late 90s. In 2013 he co-founded Phonotheque and the club quickly became a reference for the best that South America puts out. He never felt the need to move away, instead he created a nest from which he plays regularly, digs for vinyl and raises generations of local DJs.

Rui Vargas made the exact same choice, programming Lux-Frágil since the day it opened. Twenty-five years of bookings built the club into the most notable electronic space in the nation. From there he too has been the safe harbour for generations of artists, and made the space an incubator for the sound of Portugal.

For one night in August, they swap their temples for a unique transmission, side by side, from the confines of our fortress.
