Fosfobox is Rio de Janeiro's most important underground electronic music club, a compact venue beneath the streets of Ipanema that has been at the heart of the city's techno and house scene since 2001. The venue's industrial aesthetic — raw concrete, exposed pipes, and a powerful sound system — creates an atmosphere that is perfectly suited to its uncompromising programming. Fosfobox has hosted the world's finest electronic music artists and maintains a reputation for quality that is unmatched in Rio.
Opened in 2001 beneath a shopping centre in Ipanema, Fosfobox was founded by a group of Rio DJs who wanted to create a space where electronic music could be heard at its best. The venue's underground location and intimate scale have made it a pilgrimage destination for serious electronic music fans visiting Rio.
