“From 2015 onwards, they started a craft fair, vinyl records, clothes… all this in a large square in the city and with DJs playing. If some of our listeners would visit Brazil (or Rio in particular) for the first time, what would be some of the places which they have to visit? Here in Juiz de Fora, my hometown, I recommend DJ Kureb, incredible sessions of electronic music (Downtempo and House).” “ In Rio de Janeiro I recommend the DJ’s Rodrigo Facchinetti (he has a very cool repertoire of Brazilian edits and remixes, as well as other House and Downtempo stuff), DJ Montano (Brasil deep), and Erik Scratch (Hip-hop and Turntablism, I consider my godfather in DJing ), DJ Pachu (Jedi Master of Hip-hop culture) and DJ Nepal (amazing House sets, for me the best). Who would you like to recommend from your scene? Before the pandemic, the Club scene in Rio was “slow”, some Djs were producing parties, renting spaces, calling other Djs… So the scene has been around there after the pandemic… Here, where I live, Juiz de Fora, the scene is hotter, there are good places to play like Cafe Muzik, Bar Lacucaracha, Reza Forte, and many other places. Since 2018 I live in the countryside, 205 km from downtown Rio de Janeiro, but I still play in Rio. How do you experience the local club/music scene in Rio de Janeiro?
