About this event
for the evening rik tan, gia nunez and aram mukanay come together with their selections.
Talking about eclectic DJs, Rik Tan stands out as a selector with a strong focus on global sounds within a club context. His sets move effortlessly between Cape Verdean rhythms, Brazilian influences, Afro, Latin, and electronic dance music, creating a distinctive style built on groove and rhythm.
As a resident at Tempo Não Para, a platform celebrating music from different cultures, Rik’s approach is rooted in connection rather than genre boundaries. He blends warm percussion, danceable electronics, and organic rhythms into cohesive, flowing journeys on the dancefloor.
His selections feel playful yet intentional, always leaving room for surprise without losing momentum. Rik Tan is known for his open musical vision and his ability to bring different worlds together in a single set.
For the past 16 years, Giu Nunez has been shaping a distinctive sound through deep vinyl digging and an eclectic approach to mixing genres. Starting her career at 18, her curiosity and versatility quickly made her a standout name in Brazil’s electronic scene and beyond, including a headline appearance at Amsterdam Dance Event.
Now based between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, she is part of the Domply collective, exploring experimental and electronic music through parties and radio shows worldwide.
Amsterdam-based Aram Mukanay brings the groove wherever he goes. His sound dives deep into early ’80s boogie, dubby disco, and soulful house. Whether it’s a dusty boogie cut or a dreamy house track, one thing ties it all together: the funk. Expect slick basslines, disco divas, and percussive rhythms. Always smooth, always moving.

Giu Nunez
Aram Mukanay
Aram Mukanay knows how to tell a good story behind the decks – for instance, he’ll ease into things with some of the more funky Afro-centric side of boogie and synth pop. Then the house music, disco diva’s and propulsive cuts start to make some serious waves. The common thread is pure funkiness – and as Mukanay knows better than most – there’s no funk you can fake.
