Rio 008 - Vera (recorded live at Bonanza 2024)
Bringing a little slice of jungle sunshine in these winter months, next up we have a chunk of Vera's set from Bonanza 2024.
Recorded deep on the Sunday night, Vera took us on a proper trip deep into her acidic vortex. Unhurried and classy, this is Vera at her late night best.
Don't miss her during Bonanza 2025, this time taking care of some after-hours terrace action.

Rio 007 - Inmorales (recorded live at Bonanza 2024)
To follow on from Jane Fitz's mega closing session, this time we wind back right to the very beginning of Bonanza 2024: the opening set, from our resident Inmorales.
Bogotá born Natalia Morales has been spinning at the Rio for a while now, having dialled down on her soulful, sensual sound. Natalia is, without doubt, a house head; during her opening 2 hours she navigates disco, funk, hip hop, breaks and plenty of shuffling, vocal-laden deep house, all laced with plenty of her trademark sexiness (on display right from track 1).
This is definitely one that will bring a sunny afternoon on the terrace to your headphones. Enjoy!
Rio 006 - Jane Fitz (recorded live at Bonanza 2024)
We are happy to share the full closing set from Bonanza 2024 in all its glory, recorded on the Sunday night into Monday morning, from none other than Jane Fitz.
The closing is always a special time, especially for a non-stop, intimate event like Bonanza. When we managed to convince Jane to come to our little jungle riverside rave-up, we knew it was the slot for her. You can feel the emotion and energy on display over these 4 glorious hours; dive in and bask in the sun-kissed squelch.
