Boring party [yawn]
His way February 9, 2010
” I’m quite proud of this accomplishment. It was definitely one of the highlights of my career. To be thought of enough by the people of this city and, to have it presented to me by, at the time, State Senator and now The 44th President of The United States, Barrack Obama, I am extremely proud of this accomplishment. It’s something I share with every house music DJ in the world.”
Frankie Knuckles Way, Chicago.
Happy anniversary to our favourite dancefloor! November 5, 2009
Mighty Warung celebrates 7 years absolutely consolidated as Brazil’s top dancefloor for music-oriented clubbers. Randoms? Erm…No, thanks. The world’s best djs restlessly praise the half-in-the-jungle half-on-the-beach dancefloor. Useless to describe, gotta see it with your own eyes.

Flowers & Poetry in the land of freedom October 23, 2009
For those who don’t know, this song is a huge classic of Brazilian (counter)culture, being released in 1968, during the terrible militar dictatorship that ended in 1984. The lyrics by Geraldo Vandré are a true poem against the violence and censorship imposed to several artists, including himself, at the darkest period of Brazilian recent history. The song, called “Pra Não Dizer Que Não Falei das Flores”, won an international music contest in the same year despite its prohibition for allegedly being “disrespectful to the military government”. Luciano and Ricardo Villalobos played this remix at Cocoon closing party, last month at Amnesia, Ibiza. Goose bumps. Via Daniel Kuhnen.
And we’ve recently (a couple of hours ago, actually) found out the real and amazing story behind this tune. Check this out:

Keep it deep… and lovely August 15, 2009
“The mix is inspired by the early hours of a deep club night, when the magic is going to be built up and everything is open. I selected old and new all-time faves, deep and danceable – just lovely music.”
Dj Lawrence of Hamburg
Enough said, now go for it: http://www.residentadvisor.net/podcast-episode.aspx?id=161
One of the best deep house mixes SinK has listened to in quite a while.
Thank you R.A. for bringing back our hope in dance music.
Have a deep and lovely weekend everyone.
Festival fever July 27, 2009
Music festivals are as part of the summer in Europe as sunburnt cheeks. From late May to early October all bands and djs that matter have gigs booked at some open air party from Croatia to Scotland. There’s a festival fever in the air.
The pink press is in charge of the celebrity gossips, their (mis)behaviour, excesses, flirting and so on; Vogue picks the best festival looks (we’re used to see stylish chicks in Hunter wellies, especially in England, where summer can be very wet); the shops carry out “festival sales”; the brands work on another creative action to reach the young high-standard and desired audience that is not worried about money once they’ve crossed the main entrance. There’s even a festival-specialised store in London called Marsh-mellow that sells from tickets to tents.
Festivals are the perfect opportunity for trend hunting, style shooting, meeting people, misbehaving, celebrating life-love-friends, dressing up and getting wasted (!). Take a look at our selection of Lovebox’s colour pictures and get the feeling!

Ibiza 2009: the afterparties. All aboard? July 27, 2009
Since the afterparties were totally banned from the island last summer, Ibiza party people came up with a brilliant idea: throwing the post clubbing rendez-vous on a boat sailing in the sea. Every morning lots of embarkations leave San Antoni harbour towards somewhere peaceful in the Mediterranean where they can dance and celebrate without being bothered. Local and top djs line up to play and the cool thing is to rent a boat with your mates, your captain and your deejay and do your own private thing.
The only question is: what if you want to go home? Erm… maybe it’s not even a valid question…
Photo by DJ Rodrigo Brinko. Tomorrow, 28, alongside with DJ Rod Maya he will be playing at Puzzle party at Es Vive Hotel in Figueretas. And, guess what?, with a boat after-party right afterwards from 7 am until ….. who knows? Click HERE for more info.
