SURREAL PARK TURNS 3 AND HOLDS TITLE OF WORLD'S LARGEST CLUB SPACE

CARL COX, DIXON, MACEO PLEX, AND TRAUMER HEADLINE 

Surreal Park celebrates its third anniversary this December. Although young, the club has achieved significant milestones, being recognized as one of the best clubs in the world and becoming a beloved destination for Brazilian audiences. With the largest variety of stages in Brazil and spanning an impressive 135,000 square meters, Surreal Park holds the title of the world’s largest club.

Innovation is part of Surreal Park’s DNA, led by Renato Ratier, the creative mind behind this bold project. With five stages—each with a unique theme, offering diverse sounds and atmospheres, including Bells, Raw Room, Nomad, and Church—the Park now unveils its grand mainstage, Ritual. Opened on October 11 with its creator Ratier and the Techno star Charlotte De Witte, Ritual marks a new chapter with a fresh decor concept, an entirely new tent, and a sensory experience never before seen in Brazil.

Ritual: Surreal Park's New Stage

‘’Inspired by Ratier's album, this stage was designed to be a “nest” where the energy of music embraces and connects everyone in a unique experience.’’

A Sustainable Project

We are excited to present an innovative, sustainable project that redefines how we conceive large-scale structures for music events. Using natural and sustainably sourced materials, the Ritual stage not only impresses with its scale but also emphasizes environmental responsibility.

With 70 km of bamboo—one of the most renewable plants on the planet—we've created a flexible, durable structure that organically integrates into the landscape. Additionally, 10 km of reforested wood reinforce our commitment to environmental preservation, ensuring that the raw materials are from renewable and responsible sources.

The project also incorporates 10 km of carefully selected fabric, creating an immersive atmosphere with unique textures and movements. This material not only enhances the aesthetic but also adds visual elements that enrich the experience.

Finally, 2 km of piaçava—a natural fiber sustainably harvested—add a rustic, authentic touch, echoing ancestral traditions and fostering a deeper connection with nature.

This combination of sustainable, visually impactful materials transforms the event into a true celebration of conscious design, where every detail promotes harmony between artistic expression and environmental respect.

MALAA’S ALTER EGO KEEPS THE ENERGY PUMPING WITH ‘MAKE IT WORK’

Just one week on from the release of the epic new track ‘Face Off’, the sonic battle between French DJ and producer Malaa and his Alter Ego shows no signs of resolve as he produces yet another hit this week with ‘Make It Work’. In this hot response track, Malaa’s masked Alter Ego is keeping the energy fired up, with a high-octane anthem that showcases boundary-pushing hard techno in its truest form.

With big shoes to fill following last week’s drop, ‘Make It Work’ raises the bar even further with its high-energy sound. Combining their signature raw techno energy with fresh UK garage influences and minimalistic vocal touches throughout, this track takes the battle on a sharp and compelling turn. Starting right off the bat with an accelerated and upbeat tempo, it delivers a glitchy electro-techno piece that builds and builds to an exhilarating climax.

‘Make It Work’ follows the Alter Ego’s recent thread of smash hits, where he and Malaa - who’s identities remain unknown - compete to captivate listeners with each new release. This battle has in turn produced a thrilling and dynamic narrative, where listeners are transported through a musical journey filled with twists and turns and epic highs.

About Malaa's Alter Ego
Malaa’s Alter Ego is the rebellious counterpart to the masked French DJ and producer, born out of the need to disrupt the status quo in the electronic music scene. While Malaa is known for his deep, darker house sound and enigmatic persona, his Alter Ego breaks free from those constraints, challenging both the music industry and Malaa himself.

This new identity is outspoken, chaotic, and unfiltered, taking a more experimental approach to electronic music, blending genres and sounds that is a step away from the signature Malaa style. Malaa’s Alter Ego represents a new chapter, bringing a raw, unpredictable energy to the stage and online, where it has already taken over Malaa’s social media, stirring controversy and inviting fans to “choose a side.” With this daring project, Malaa’s Alter Ego seeks to push boundaries and create a new space in the world of electronic music where rules are meant to be broken.
