Hidden beneath the streets of Buenos Aires, Under Club has spent over a decade cultivating a reputation as one of South America’s most revered techno destinations. This is a place those in the know seek out - drawn by its energy, community and devotion to pure sound.

Step inside and you immediately understand why it’s special. The space is small, dark and welcoming. It feels more like a collective ritual than a night out. There are no screens or flashing visuals, no phones held aloft. The club enforces a strict no-photos, no-videos policy, and with no VIP areas, the dance floor becomes a shared playground of equality and inclusion.

“It’s an intimate space where freedom embraces you the moment you walk in,” says owner Joel Silva. “It’s not about trends or fashion - it’s about a genuine connection with music.”

That purity of purpose has made Under Club a magnet for true believers. Its following is as dedicated as any in global techno. “The people who follow Under Club are deeply passionate,” Silva explains. “Every time they come, they give it their all. Many travel from different parts of the world just to experience what happens inside our room.”

It’s an energy that’s been carefully built over 12 years - a commitment to artistry and authenticity that has earned Under Club deep respect in the scene. Programming is guided not by commercial trends but by a sense of integrity and musical vision. “The booth carries a history and an ethic that deserve respect,” says Silva. “Professionalism and experience are key pillars in how we curate our lineups.”

Audio beats at the heart of everything. “At Under Club, the experience is 100% about sound,” Silva says. “From day one, we’ve worked to remove visual distractions because we firmly believe in the power of human connection through music.”

That philosophy came into full focus in 2019 when the club became the first venue in Argentina to install a Funktion-One system. “Its installation was a turning point,” says Silva. “The difference was immediate - the room finally gained the respect it deserved. The pressure of the bass combined with the clarity of the speakers elevated our reputation and gave us the solid foundation we needed to keep growing in the industry.”

Under Club continues to evolve while staying true to its core. This year, Silva and his team are preparing for the club’s 13th anniversary - a celebration that promises to honour its history while pushing things forward. “Our crowd deserves the very best from us,” he says. “And we take that responsibility seriously.”

Andrés Zaina, Director of Funktion-One Argentina, recognises the venue’s importance to the country’s musical landscape. Zaina said: “Under Club is very important to the national and regional scene. Their curation and passion for what they do keep Buenos Aires and Argentina connected with the most cutting-edge and legendary techno worldwide. It’s a great joy and responsibility to support them as part of this new stage Funktion-One representation in the country.”
