Friday, August 1, 2014 Nightlife Guide
Special guest DJ Victor Muñoz will lead the lineup for the night. A São Paulo native, Muñoz is considered by many to be one of the DJs currently leading the electronic scene. Muñoz has toured internationally for over ten years and has realeased six vinyl albums and numerous digital sets.
Additionally during the fourth anniversary celebration, DJs Renato Bastos, Nepal, and Pedro Piu will spin, while Ian Victor of Brainstorm VJs will provide visual art.
The Brazilian Wax party was created by Pedro Piu and Márcio “Piá” and is considered a pioneer of the “bass-party.”
“Although we are working on a more comprehensive sound for Friday nights, we went to our very essence, so that guest DJs always introduce something different from the regularly scheduled DJs, ” said founder Peter Piu, adding “This is already a key feature that differentiates our party from others.”
