Make sure to download The Best Of Bootie Rio 2010 with the best mashups produced in the country this year, and The Ru-Mix: Stilettos & Broken Bottles, a two and a half hour compilation with really friesh mixes of some of the best dance songs of 2010 (currently my favorite soundtrack for jogging at the beach).
I wasn't in Rio for new year's, but if I had been there this year the Buati party at Erotika on December 29 is certainly the one party I would not have missed. I haven't heard from my friends who were there, but I am pretty sure it was packed as usual. Check out more pictures of the party after the jump.
Posting has been a little slow this week since I am away on vacation, but I wanted to take the time to wish you all a happy new year, and to thank you for making this such a great year for me in terms of work. We started 2010 shooting what became the first issue of Made In Brazil Magazine, and if it weren't for your support and for all of you who purchased a copy of that issue, we would have not had the chance to do it again, and to be working on the third one already. I am very blessed that I get to do a work I love every day, and cannot thank you enough for allowing me to do it.
We are already developing lots of new features for Made In Brazil for 2011, and will also be debuting a brand new design very soon, taking all your comments this of past year into consideration.
If you happen to be in Brazil, remember to wear white tonight. Have a great new year!
