Brazil is a prime destination for global dance music. Especially today, as the country's economy surges forward, we're seeing an approach to nightlife that is more progressive and international than ever before. UGroove.TV, an outfit that creates exceptional short films centered on the underground dance scene, has created one of its best for two of Brazil's biggest clubs, D-Edge and Warung.
D-Edge is more than a nightclub. Situated in the heart of Sao Paolo, it represents the future. From design to programming, the venue has played host to some of the world's best DJs, and scores of their faithful followers. Renato Ratier is the man behind the club - founder, owner, and resident DJ. He conceived the club first in another location, Campo Grande, but the real D-Edge in Sao Paolo was born in 2003. Since then, it has been one of the biggest draws for underground music in South America. The club has played host to Wolf + Lamb, Solomun, Heidi, and many of the other top names in the industry. Its sound and lighting system is powerful and unique, with the entire inside of the club designed to feel like a machine.On February 10th, the Rio Music Conference will come to D-Edge for one of its largest parties - Richie Hawtin's Minus showcase, alongside Matador, Kings of Swingers (Mau Mau + Renato Ratier), and Mauricio Lopes.
Warung Beach Club has been famous for over a decade now, since the progressive masters of the early 2000's put it on the map. Described by some as a "temple," the combined indoor/outdoor club has played host to Art Department, Seth Troxler, and many others in recent months. The club celebrated its ten year anniversary in November of 2012, cementing its place as a home, and place of pilgrimage, for electronic music lovers in South America. Circoloco Brazil will be hosting a massive event on February 11th at Warung, with DJ W!ld, Sneak, and Matthias Tanzmann don't miss it!
