So I went to Brazil to Dj on a cruise ship in December. It was pretty cheese, but they did put my pic on the front of the ship's daily news letter which was in all 3000 cabins.
On the last night they had a "white" party, and everyone wore masks. I dj'ed up in the ship's club, after this local cover band sang by the pool. I was late to start dj'in in the club, due to the hypnotizing power of the dancer's booty i zoom in on...
After i got back to land, i had one day in Sao Paolo. My friend Jay owns the oldest hiphop vinyl record store in town, and he took me all over the city. Obrigado Jay!
On the last night, we went to a Baile Funk club. It was insane to hear that music on an amazing system, and have 700 people going nuts, all night, and singing along to every tune.
DJ Zackomaia is from Rio, so he's a legit Baile Funk Dj. This dude was murdering the CDJs, quick mixing tracks every 2 minute, singing on the mic, shouting out the crowd, chain smoking Marlboro Reds, and chugging Johnny Walker straight out of the bottle. He was psyched to know that people in NYC are playing Baile Funk, and wanted me to stay on stage next to him all night.
The girls were not like the models you see on postcards from beaches in Rio. These chicks were thick, wore the tightest gear imaginable, and could shake their asses like nothing i'd ever seen - not even in strip clubs. There would be groups of 4 or 5 girls, all grinding on each other. It was nuts. Here's the 2 hired dancers that came with DJ Zackomaia.
Watch closely for the rapid fire moves followed by the extra slow rotation at the end. Too good.
