6Studio RJ
With a playlist that embraces the best of old and new Brazilian music, from rock and indie to bossa nova and jazz, with a particular emphasis on the latter, this is a fun, funky spot for a night out.
Shows kick off around 9:30pm on weekdays and midnight on weekends, with DJs keeping the party going afterwards till the early hours.
With an unbeatable location facing the sands at Arpoador – the point where Ipanema meets Copacabana – Studio RJ is a far cry from the posing palaces of swanky Ipanema and a world away from the sleazy strip joints of Copacabana.
The early evening post-beach sessions on Sundays are the perfect way to chill out after a hectic weekend, while Tuesdays’ vinyl-only DJ sets attract everybody from die-hard crate diggers to casually curious music fans.
