Personal impressions:

I don't know the name of the DJ who plays overthere, but frankly I don't give 
a fuck. The music is just plain boring. The house they play is mostly the com-
mercial type and they play a lot of old boring stuff too. In fact this is what
we in Antwerp call a 'Johnny & Marina' club. This certainly is not the place to
go and enjoy yourself, except if you like to move your butt to 'Don't stop 
(wiggle wiggle)' and then all the Johns go to their Marina and they scream:
'energy...energy...ENERGY' ;) Ok, so I hate this club, but I guess I already 
made my point. Let's go to a brief description, so that you can have an idea
what the club looks like... The club is right in the center of St. Katelijne Wa-
ver. There is a parking right next to it (public property, NOT of the owner of
the club), but don't think that you will find place overthere to park your car.
Outside the club has a skytracer and the logo on the outside is not bad at all.
Once entered, you can go left or right around the dancefloor, which is in the
form of a circle and actually MOVES AROUND :)) By means of the stairs you can 
go to the 2nd floor which gives you an overview of the dancefloor and there is 
also some sort of a podium on which you can dance. The DJ's place is right next
to the dancefloor on the 1st floor. The lightshow is quite good, nothing extre-
mely special, but nicely done. One thing that makes it a bit special is the 
fact that there is a huge video screen on which you can sometimes see the video
clip of the song they are playin'. All over the club are TV monitors on which
you can also see this. There are two bars, one on each floor. 
Conclusion: if you DO NOT like mega house clubs (but who doesn't?) then maybe
you will like it in Rio, becoz they play a lot of other stuff too, I even heard
rock&roll :))) And supposing you like this sort of clubs, well yeah, then maybe
you will have a good evening, becoz the atmosphere is not so bad. Another thing
that may be interesting (if you are male) is that there are A LOT of beautiful
babes overthere. But that's all there is to say, they won't see me there again
for the next couple of months :)
