Friday’s Rio Nightlife Pick – Wobble is back at Fosfobox for another night of tough breaks and dubstep at Rio’s premier underground venue. The popular party Wobble is driven by DJ Rodrigo S and focuses on the grungy heavy duty dark sounds that make the subwoofers rumble and the ground below you shake like an earthquake. The crew will be celebrating their two year anniversary and doing it in style.
Direct from Buenos Aires, DJ Bad Boy Orange will be headlining the downstairs with his bass heavy drum and bass beats. Joining him will be resident Rodrigo S and Paulista Marginal Men. Upstairs will feature house music from Peter Visti from Denmark and garage from Fabian Chicano, from Holland.
