Dj Rino at Floresta - Waking Life '24

Closer residents Karine and Shakolin have made a name for themselves off the back of a seemingly bottomless pit of interesting underground records. This mix is completely on-brand; a patient blend of moody electronics across the club continuum, put together with the confidence of a couple of seasoned selectors.

Broken Flow

Chez has a style that is hard to put your finger on, as Rio 017 well demonstrates. Recorded on the opening night of Bonanza, Chez kicked the terrace into action with a chuggy but cheerful selection of swampy groovers. 

Moving seamlessly from heads down tech house to breaks and EBM-ish numbers, Rio 017 is peppered with flecks of acid, swaying basslines and plenty of character. 

One to keep the summer flowing xx
