Rio Music Conference begins on Jan 31st with a full slate of conferences and parties. From Jan 31st to the Feb 12th, Rio will welcome scores of locals and travelers, participating in the largest electronic music festival in the region. Like Miami's Ultra Music Festival and Winter Music Conference, the event combines massive parties with commercial titans like Tiesto and underground favorites like Josh Wink, with roundtable discussions, panels, and other industry focused events.
One of the official RMC parties on Feb 8th particularly excites us. Circoloco Brazil, which began its tour in January with talent like Maceo Plex, Clive Henry, and System of Survival. On the 8th, for a very special RMC event, they welcome Resident Advisor's #1 DJ for 2012, Seth Troxler, along with DJ Sneak, Matthias Tanzmann, Dj W!ld, and Cirillo. Local support is provided by artists like Leo Janeiro, Flow & Zeo, and more.
Seth Troxler is a household name for most at this point. His prominent rise from Detroit's underground to the world stage happened in just a few short years, coinciding with the success of his Visionquest collective and label. A deft DJ and eclectic producer, with chart topping singles in every genre from techno to electronica, Seth is a versatile musician who never shies away from the spotlight.
Dj Sneak is one of the men who put Chicago on the map for house music without pigeonholing himself into one particular style. With an ear for melodic tech house, jackin' vibes, and everything in between, Sneak's Chicago smarts will compliment the aforementioned man from the motor city.
Matthias Tanzmann, boss man at Moon Harbour recordings, marches to the beat of his own drum. With high profile collaborations alongside Martin Buttrich and Davide Squillace, he consistently raises the bar with innovative and driving DJ performances, a track selection to rival the greatest, and quality production.
DJ W!ld has been on a meteoric path to success, touring with the Circoloco family and also most recently joining Sven Vath's esteemed Cocoon label. He's launched his own label, W, and released his debut album, Palace, with remixes from the likes of Art Department and Kerri Chandler.
The party will take place at The Week club in Rio. More info here!
