Saturday’s Rio Nightlife Pick – La Folie returns to the limelight tonight with a special guest directly from San Francisco, California, Wolf+Lamb and Soul Clap Records recordings artist Navid Izadi.
As expected he will be joined by a strong cast of local and out of town DJs, including KBG & Roger, Pedro Piu, Lennox, Dani Souto, Ricardo Estrella, Marcio Careca, Pedro Zuim, Amadeo and Bernardo Campos.
Navid Izadi has risen from a club kid to one of the hottest names in the game right now. Aside from recent and upcoming vocal features for major leaguers like Deniz Kurtel, Soul Clap and close friends PillowTalk, the past year has also seen Navid remix the likes of Pezzner and Miguel Migs. Expect much more including releases on Crew Love and a full length EP for Double Standard Records.
