U know what ???? Best ever mondays in LA r hosted by Eduardo Castillo & Ron Garcia, too bad ass dj's who likes their vibes deep :-) thats what it says on da flyer : " VOODOO IS A NIGHT OF EXPLORING ALL GENRES, MAKING FOR A NIGHT OF DANCING, WONDERING, THINKING, INSPIRING. THE BOOTH WILL BE BUSY WITH RECORD SHUFFLING AND INTERESTING ECLECTIC MIXING, EXPECT QUALITY SOUND. IT WILL BE A TAG TEAM DJ FORMAT THAT WILL TRIGGER SPONTANEITY ALLOWING SETS TO BE EXTREMELY CREATIVE, ALWAYS SURPRISING AND FULL OF RISK. NEVER A COVER AND FREE PARKING, VOODOO IS NOT ABOUT MONEY OR FILLING A SPACE. VOODOO IS ALL ABOUT MUSIC AND VIBE. "

Brazil i love u !!!

Waaaaaaaaow what an amaaaaaaazing trip !!!! Just got back from Rio, ridiculous vibes om Copacabana beach da day they announced the city won the 2016 Olympics hosting, thousands and thousands of half naked peeps dancin' 2 da sound of Samba !!! Was like Carnival but earlier LOL 
Was lucky 2 stay @ a friends place in Santa Teresa, just above the center and not far from the hectic Lapa district where most of the clubs are... Had da privilege to go to a Candomble last saturday (Yoruba Ceremony, its like the Cuban Santeria...) in da ruffest suburbs of Rio (was like being in Bamako or Dakar in a way...)  and really felt the energies there, everyone wearing white & most of the people falling into a trance state while the bata drummers and chantings would go on for hours and hours... Truly profound experience i tell u ! !!!!
Sao Paulo (massive babylon, 20-25 millions habitants) was great too, ended up playin @ 2 parties, one being da legendary Sunday Sessions with my brother Rafael Moraes from the Nomumbah crew, good house music & da best caparihnas too ;-) (happy birthday libra brother Rogeeeeeer !!!!!)  Big up dj Tahira & Leo for da last minute set on saturday, beautiful crowd & got 2 drop some faves hiphop & disco joints, respex to Abilio Samuel from Subcultura, thanx 2 Tete & Chico & Glenda & Rafa of course, man we gotta finish that tune we started !!!

Nxt stop is da US
