Perreo Club launched in 2021 when Austin DJ-promoter Suxxy Puxxy carved out a queer-friendly Latinx dance floor for underground reggaetón and perreo. The party’s first home—Cuatro Gato’s tight, neon-lit room—echoed Puerto Rico’s perreos de marquesina and quickly drew a devoted crowd.

​

An official SXSW debut that same year, headlined by producers Play N Skillz, catapulted Perreo Club beyond Austin. Residencies followed in Dallas, McAllen, El Paso and Houston (Paradise Palace), plus a monthly slot at Miami’s 1-800 Lucky—each stop built around a “family” of local perreo DJs.

​

Highlights include a 15 K-strong set on the Mix Stage at EDC Mexico 2022, curating Boiler Room’s first Latinx showcase in Texas (and a filmed sequel with Ape Drums), and SXSW 2022-23 lineups featuring Isabella Lovestory and Girl Ultra. A 2023 City of Austin grant now powers rotating venues and an expanded DJ roster, keeping Perreo Club the state’s go-to hub for all-inclusive, sweat-soaked perreo.
