All season long, Dos Flakos have been turning up the temp with their signature blend of Latin house, global club sounds, and Afro-diasporic rhythms. If you’ve ever witnessed the duo do their thing, you know these nights are not for standing still.
For more than a decade, Bronx-born brothers Chris and Rich have been pushing New York’s Latin house tradition forward with a sound rooted in their Dominican heritage. Through their original tracks, edits, and remixes, they bring Latin Caribbean rhythms, amapiano, house, and bass-heavy club music into one explosive mix that has taken them from the Bronx to dance floors around the world.
On Friday, August 21st, Dos Flakos close out their epic summer residency in CARGO from 12AM–3:30AM. Expect pulsating blends, original tracks, and a space to let loose, release, and let your body do the talking.
Opening CARGO from 10PM–12AM is Mexico City’s Camila Valero, bringing a vibrant mix of deep house, techno and breakbeats packed with funky basslines, euphoric vocals, and dreamy melodies to get the room moving.
Holding down the Foyer from 9PM–12AM is Úrsula. A regular across the city’s underground circuit including Public Records, The Lot Radio, and Mood Ring, she blends deep house, soul and Latin rhythms.
Then, from 12AM–3AM, Brooklyn-born house veteran Raphael Ernesto takes over the Foyer. With more than 30 years behind the decks—from NYC’s ’90s rave underground to playing alongside Carl Cox at Space Ibiza and dance floors across 20+ countries—he brings it home with deep cuts, soulful rhythms, and his signature fusion of classic New York house and modern disco.

their own biography
the whole biography
Úrsula is a DJ born and raised in New York City, where her sound has been shaped as much by the city’s nightlife as by her Latin roots. Moving fluidly between deep house, soul, R&B, and Latin rhythms, she brings a warm, percussive, and emotionally attuned approach to the dancefloor—one that prioritizes feeling as much as movement. Raised within a city where genres constantly overlap, Úrsula developed an instinct for blending sounds without rigid boundaries. Her sets often begin in a place of intimacy drawing from soulful vocals, slow-burning grooves, and rhythmic textures—before building into layered, percussive energy that feels both grounded and expansive. Whether weaving in Latin influences or leaning into deep house’s hypnotic pulse, her selections reflect a deep sensitivity to timing, space, and crowd. A regular presence within New York’s underground circuit, she has played at Public Records, The Lot Radio, Mood Ring, and more where she’s known for crafting sets that feel intentional, fluid, and deeply connected to the room. Across these spaces, she continues to refine a sound that is both personal and adaptable equally suited for late-night dancefloors and open-air sessions. At the core of Úrsula’s practice is a commitment to music as a shared experience one rooted in culture, rhythm, and emotional resonance. Her presence behind the decks is subtle but assured, allowing the music to speak while guiding listeners through a journey that feels immersive, dynamic, and distinctly her own.Recently at Dead Letter No. 9, Honey's, Mood Ring · often with Callie Reiff, gabby cocco, Ella Strauss, none of them here that night
