The leading club in all of South America is turning 15 this year with a long season of events to celebrate the great milestone. As well as marathon parties, a Diynamic showcase, appearances from Derrick Carter, events with more than 15 international artists, special events with lectures, workshops and talks, there will also be t-shirt giveaways, competitions and all sorts of extra conceptual delights.
For a decade and a half, D-EDGE, under the stewardship of DJ, label owner, producer, promoter and accomplished businessman Renato Ratier, has been putting Brazil on the map. Offering line-ups that you just don’t get anywhere else, the club is a bastion of underground quality hosting only the biggest and best DJs in the house, disco and techno scenes.
As such, the whole of the year will focus around the birthday with tons of special events featuring international guests as well as a healthy selection of local talents – of course Renato Ratier will be heavily involved, as will many others who have released on the D-EDGE label like Gaturamo, Andre Torquato, and Propulse.
Raww X Room, on this weekend, is a 36-hour non-stop event at the Memorial da América Latina, a space designed by famous Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. The stacked bill includes Renato Ratier, Raphael Carneiro, Nomumbah, Spavieri, Marcio Vermelho, Marcello V.O.R, Propulse, Anhanguera, Adnan Sharif, and many more. In the last week of April, educational workshops will offer content, expertise and information to their closest stakeholders and overall society to add social value to the D-EDGE brand. Chicago house legend Derrick Carter headlines the Freak Chic over D-EDGE party on April 24th, which has inspired its very own exclusive t-shirt, given to VIPs and trendsetters.
On 30th April, the huge showcase Moving over D-EDGE welcomes big names from Diynamic including HOSH, Stimming, Adriatique, Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Karmon and a very Special Guest. Whoever "crosses over D-EDGE" will win exclusive D-EDGE shirts. It all ends with a monster blowout – a 48-hour party featuring 15 international artists, collectives and labels that share the musical vision of D-EDGE.
