Rui Vargas has dedicated his life to sharing music with others. As both a radio DJ and the first resident at Lisbon’s Lux Frágil nightclub, where he is also the music director today, Vargas has been entertaining and educating Portuguese audiences for three decades. Known as an ambassador for electronic music within Portugal, Vargas’s dedication to finding and sharing new music remains just as strong as when he first started. ► https://www.redbullmusicacademy.com/lectures/rui-vargas #RuiVargas #RadioDJ #RedBullMusicAcademy __________________________ TOPICS: 4:29 - Beginnings as a DJ 17:14 - Fragil 21:58 - Pirate radio 33:00 - The Underground Sound of Lisbon 37:29 - Lux 47:06 - Painting with records MUSIC: 9:39 - Laurie Anderson — “O Superman” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vkfpi2H8tOE 29:13 - Jungle Wonz — “The Jungle” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3s1O4Ppyms 49:13 - Moodymann — “I Can’t Kick This Feeling When It Hits” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ik9cExHOazw The Red Bull Music Academy is a global music institution committed to fostering creativity in music.
