Sorry I've been short of time and so didn't reply, thinking
basically my info is 2 years old and I was only there a week so the **** do
I know? Given time Guilherme may post something - especially if you prompt
him by saying "so it's your city eh?" : ) Then again maybe he's busy
stealth stalking UR round Liverpool with Alex.
Anyway for what I know - we went to Urbano (I'll try and get my map
out tonight and get you the district, think it was Pinheiros) on Monday
night - kind of funk / hip hop / R&B, full of amazing looking ladies! Nice
for a first night there which it was for us. We were recommended Ampgalaxy
(see e-mail copied below, when in your position - and in my pre 313 years -
I decided to e-mail Crammed, a label that has SP connections and was lucky
that they turned out to be really nice, passing my request for info over to
one of their artists) a nice little place that operates in a kind of bar
downstairs clothing shop (from which I still have 2 treasured T-shirts)
upstairs place who's main night is (or was) Tuesdays. Blen Blen have (had)
stuff on most nights. I came across a collective called BEC (Brazilian
Electronic Community) in a different part of SP (map again) who put stuff
on, I think they had connections with some harder acid (SUF etc?) nights in
London so I don't know how they'll be, I took a recommendation from them for
my last night there and ended up in some mad kind of camp, high NRG place
off Avenue Paulista with a DJ on a platform, wearing only a thong, doing
body building poses between (non) mixes.
One strange (and for English people potentially hazardous) thing I
found was that in some clubs you're given a card on entry, have it marked
when you get drinks and then leave via a supermarket checkout looking place
round the back where you have to pay for the night's drinks.

Hello there
I wonder if you could help me with a bit of an odd
request................
A friend and I will be visiting Brazil this summer
from 15/6/03 to 16/7/03. We are travelling round Brazil but are flying into
and out of Sao Paulo and plan on spending a few nights at the beginning and
end of our stay there. I have several releases on your label (Cibelle, Suba
etc.) recorded in or portraying Sao Paulo. I was wondering if you could
give me any advice or any contacts to help us enjoy this type of music while
there. I ask this as my friend has visited Brazil before but had no success
in finding good night clubs while there and I was hoping you might be able
to give us a pointer to the "scene" there?
Hoping you can help
Francis Wooff
