The Front Invites Mário Valente

Mário Valente, booker and resident DJ at Lounge since 1999 (RIP!), is a tireless figure in the city’s nightlife. A highly versatile DJ, his sets move freely between italo, house, hi-NRG, dub, breaks, punk, and psychedelia. He is also an avid collector of horror and sci-fi film soundtracks. Mário Valente holds regular DJ slots at clubs across Lisbon and has hosted a weekly radio show since 2014, Salón Fuzz, on Rádio Futura (previously on Vodafone FM). He is also the co-host and DJ of the queer italo-disco party A Night Out With The Hard Ones, one of the founders of the hi-fi party Vem!, and, in recent years, has expanded into music production, releasing several remixes for both national and international artists. Over the past decade, the Lisbon-based DJ has also divided his time between Lisbon and London, playing at venues such as Spiritland, Brilliant Corners, Dalston Superstore, and Stone Nest, as well as appearing as a guest at parties including Beauty & the Beat, Meat, Happy Endings, and Pumping Velvet.
