Sao Paulo DJs Renato Ratier, Silvio Conchon, Kalus Goulart and VCO Rox will be performing at Future Sound Of Brasil first ever party in Amsterdam next weekend as part of the city's Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE). The party takes place at Club Home and follows a 'Focus on Brazil' panel at the ADE at which Renato Ratier , who owns Brazil's best known international club D-Edge. The clubbing experience in Brazil is evolving as quickly as its economy. Baile funk, the musical product of the Brazillian favelas, looked as though bit would dominate the Brazillian music scene. However, it is far from thriving right now. "There's no baile funk played in clubs in Brazil anymore, explains Berlin's greatest baile funk champion Daniel Haaksman of Man, describing baile funk as a "dwindling minority genre." D-Edge resident DJ Silvio Conchon states that it's the more mainstream clubs that are booming right now. "I think most of the clubs in Brazil are investing in more "commercial" music so to speak, but there are a lot of clubs like D-edge, Garage, HotHot and Clash, that invest in quality music. I personally really dig this new electronic deep music that Kink has been making, I also love HOSH's new album," he enthused. All agreed that Brazilian clubbers party differently from Europeans with the emphasis more focused on making friends than just dancing. "I have always found clubbing in Brazil to be much more of a social atmosphere," said Edo (a Dutch born native who's lived in Sao Paolo for over ten years). "By this I mean you tend to find more couples in clubs as opposed to large groups going out who all stick together. In Brazil everybody goes out to mingle and to enjoy each other's company." "I think Brazilians flirt a little bit more on the dance floor, so sometimes the music is the 2nd reason why they go out," Silvio agreed. Enough said, next stop Brazil! (For the music, of course...)
