Beyond aesthetics, with its selection of boxy oversized tees, jackets, and collaborative Alpinestars racing suits onview, the pop-up was also experiential. At the HUGO GARAGE, attendees could take photos with a life-sized replica of the VCARB car, customize their own merch with spikes and gears, design a T-shirt with a selection of screen prints and colors from artist Jordan Watts, or airbrush a HUGO scent bottle. There was also a F1-inspired arcade-style racing set up by LOVE RACING and where attendees could compete in races by remotely controlling miniature cars to see who could achieve the fastest lap. But of course, at any Boiler Room event, it all comes back to the music. DJ sets by Sel. 6, El Gusano, and V1FRO, and performances by La Goony Chonga and Ivy Queen amped us up for the weekend in just a few hours. The outside bar pumping out drinks and Cuban snacks: empanadas, croquettas, and mini-Cuban sandwiches, kept us fed and hydrated. Not even a five minute rain shower could stop people from crowding the decks to dance.

As Saturday came in, HUGO didn't miss a beat in keeping the momentum going, partnering with AFROFUTURE to close out the weekend with a festival that honored Miami's Afro-Caribbean influence. There were DJ sets by TxC, Ethan Thomas, MC Lolahsti and a performance by Afrobeats artist Victony. Then came the main event on Sunday, HUGO and a select group geared up to support VCARB racers Daniel and Yuki. It was bittersweet when McLaren crossed the finish line first.
Here's a peek at what went down night one below.
What is your ideal office?
My ideal office is a well-organized container… bunker style… but made of aluminum with a soft bed that I can attach to a train wagon, lift on a large truck, or onto a boat… have it travel with me wherever needed.
What do you believe in?
Right now, I don't believe in our civilization anymore. I don't believe in our humanity that doesn't understand our history, learn from our past, and know what we don't want to reproduce. I do believe that women and creative creatures should be the ones organizing our societies. I do believe that only peace should be an answer to success.
If not in Paris, where would you live?
I would live in Cairo.
How do you navigate the space between individuality and belonging?
With tolerance, confidence, and the concept of tribes.
What is your favorite phase of the moon?
Waxing Gibbous.
Can you describe the last dream you had?
I was running after the White Rabbit (from Alice in Wonderland), and I fell into a hole and woke up in sweat.
When do you feel most yourself?
When I am on stage with my band (LAVASCAR) performing Etel Adnan’s ‘Garden of Memory’ poems.
If God were a texture, which texture?
Stone.
What is your most cherished possession?
Memories.
Describe a personal ritual that brings you a sense of peace or balance.
When I have my hands wrapped before putting on the gloves and getting in the ring.
What is your fondest childhood memory?
Raising and giving a bottle to a Kid (baby goat) when I was 4.
If you could live in any fictional world or design your own, what would it be?
As a nomad in a yurt, with lots of jewelry, bare feet, in a dress and turban, army blankets in the sand, very tan, music playing always, and lots of animals around me.
What was the last thing you made?
The last thing I did not make should have been a miracle that brought peace to our world.
