Saturday’s Rio Nightlife Pick: Noon returns to 00 with a very special guest appearance. No Regular Play from Brooklyn, New York will make their Rio debut at the infamous day party. Greg Paulus and Nick DeBruyn, AKA No Regular Play, grew up surrounded by music, driving inspiration from hip hop and jazz. The duo studied Afro-Cuban rhythm and music in Havana, Cuba as well as jazz from the Manhattan School of Music. The two got their first taste of electronic music at a Wolf + Lamb party, which left an insatiable love for the genre.
Two years later, the Greg and Nick formed No Regular Play, after meeting Zev and Gadi from Wolf + Lamb. Since then, they have produced hit after hit on the Wolf + Lamb label. They have toured the world playing from Sao Paulo to Tokyo. This will be their first show in Rio and will be supported by Carioca Vivi Seixas and San Francisco transplant Mike Frugaletti as well as Bootleg resident Jonas Rocha.
