So it’s almost New Years Eve again…how did that happen?!?
We know what it’s like trying to find the right location and the right mix of music and entertainment, all at the right price. Floripa celebrates everything that is unique to Brazilian and London culture and all that’s in-between, blending soulful, funky music with live entertainment, the best cocktails to be found in the city and exceptional food. Here are some great reasons why you should spend your New Year with us:

Each and every person will be given a complimentary drink to toast the new year in with, courtesy of our lovely friends at El Jimador and Bacardi. Thanks guys!

For one very special night only we will have head to head DJ combat as our residents Radio Floripa, Gringo da Parada and Ross Clarke battle it out against Get in the Groove London DJs Healer Selecta and Adrian Gibson. This is sure to be one hell of an experience:

RADIO FLORIPA has been spinning their trademark genre bending samba-hiphop-dance-floor-stupidity style tunage since we opened our doors last year . A lot of great things have come out of Paris and one of the finest exports in recent years has to be GRINGO DA PARADA. He revels in adventurous eclecticism, inventive juxtaposition, rare and racy tunes that celebrate the wilder side of life while also moving music forward. Parada’s sets are more than music they are an experience. Apparently he was runner up in Frenchman of the Year in London to our other export DJ ce soir !
ROSS CLARKE aka El Capitain is a veteran of the London party scene. He is the co-founder of Lovebox Festival and the creative force behind Floripa’s eclectic party nights. He also looks a lot like The Dude from The Big Lebowski which is a bonus in our books! Having DJed everywhere from the Hacienda to Rio, LA and New York he’s happiest in his home village – Shoreditch.

GETIN THE GROOVE LONDON will be bringing you not one but two internationally acclaimed DJs in the form of HEALER SELECTA and ADRIAN GIBSON. When these two music heads team up to spin their finest rare and classic vinyl 45s, their feel good vibe is sure to make all your bones groove! Both have taken on large and small dance floors alike, from Glastonbury Festival to the Jazz Cafe, and are two truly solid stones of the London music scene.
Time Out Magazine says”where Healer Selecta goes the party is sure to follow”. While GQ Magazine says “it is virtually impossible not to dance when Adrian Gibson is in the mix”and we agree! You can expect the best in eclectic classics and rare smashers from the 1950s, 60s and 70s…literally something for everyone!
Yvan Serrano aka Healer Selecta was voted “Most influential French person in London” in 2011, Expect Gringo in his apron to wrestle like the bastard lovechild of Charles Aznavour and Jane Birkin when the clash begins.

Along with the soundclash between Radio Floripa and Gettin the Groove London, will be a special live act TBA!!!
