Thursday’s Rio Nightlife Pick – The sounds of Rio are like music in the air. This will definitely be a true statement on Thursday night at Studio RJ at the JB Project Remix night. This party marks the launch of music made only with sounds recorded in the streets of Rio and will include a jam session by Ed Motta, Charles Gavin, David Moraes and Chico Dub. This event is sponsored by JB Whiskey, so plan on drinking heavily and dancing the night away to the sounds of Rio, as well as support from Dj João Brasil e Tuta Discotecária.
