With a history spanning over two decades in the electronic music scene, D-Edge, originally based in São Paulo, brought its iconic brand to Rio de Janeiro. Located in the Port Zone, in a retrofitted early 20th-century building on the Olympic Boulevard, the cultural complex led by visionary DJ and entrepreneur Renato Ratier blends music, art, fashion, design, and gastronomy across four floors of pure innovation.
Art, Music, and Innovation: The Soul of D-Edge Rio
With a prime location and a modern, laid-back structure, D-Edge Rio has already established itself as a stage for major names in global electronic music, including Charlotte De Witte, Pete Tong, Traumer, Gerd Janson, Gui Boratto, Âme Live, DJ Tennis, and, of course, Ratier himself. In addition to renowned artists, the club also provides a platform for local talent and emerging DJs, reaffirming its commitment to revitalizing the scene.
More Than Music: A Complete Cultural Experience
Since its inauguration in November 2023, D-Edge Rio has stood out for offering more than dance floors. Within its 2,500 square meters, the Rio-based club has become a cultural hub.
At the heart of the venue is Cosmos, a contemporary art gallery showcasing artistic installations, paintings, sculptures, and photographs that ignite visitors' creativity. Meanwhile, the Ratier Store combines urban fashion and music, featuring exclusive pieces and a special selection of vinyl records.
Later this year, a contemporary industrial-style restaurant is set to open, further expanding the space's cultural offerings.
The Main Floor: A Showcase of Technology and Sensations
The centerpiece of D-Edge Rio is its main dance floor, located on the fourth floor and designed by renowned architect Muti Randolph, who also designed the São Paulo venue. By combining sound, lighting, and ambiance, the dance floor elevates the audience's experience to a whole new level.
The exclusive sound system, developed in partnership with KW Audio, is considered one of the most sophisticated in the world. For the curious, there's even a secret VIP booth for a more intimate experience with the DJs.
Sunsets and the Guanabara Bay View
The rooftop of D-Edge Rio is a spectacle on its own. Boasting breathtaking views of Guanabara Bay, the space transforms into an open-air dance floor during sunset events, creating unforgettable moments for attendees.
