Ricky Cooper May 2019

Our very own Ricky Cooper and Mark Craven, setting the tone that: at Rio you should expect the unexpected. Nothing is off limits in this playful and eclectic mix from the opening night of the Ultimate Weekend Away. You can literally hear these two bouncing off each other and the magic in the air. 

Enjoy friends x

Ricky Cooper V Mark Craven  (Return to Rio Friday NOV 9 2019)

We were convinced it was impossible to beat 2018’s Return to Rio, but there’s no question last year was our best year yet! This all boils down to our amazing crowd & team, but also to the world’s finest artists who travel from far and wide just to play for us. 
Thank you again Nick and Hernan for making last year so magical, AND for giving us permission to release your insanely good mix to the world. For anyone who missed it - this is what all the fuss was about. And to those who were on the dance floor - take us back! 
Please enjoy and share the love. Music really does make everything better x

Return to Rio 2019 (Hernan Cattaneo V's Nick Warren)

In loving memory of my good friend Tom Hutchinson, who we tragically lost last year. I've been wanting to make a special mix for him but I wanted to wait until the time felt right. Music from the heart x
