On the surface, big room sounds might appear to be the modus operandi of Itu's gigantic superclub that started out as a Japanese restaurant.

W&W, Above & Beyond and Fatboy Slim are just a few who've dominated the steely main room of Anzu in recent months. Outside, however, it's a different story. Converting the bushy smoking area into an open-air spot with a terrace vibe, bravely it's helped spur Brazil's deep house and techno revolution with appearances from Solomun, Webbha and Lee Foss, much to the delight of Anzu's many avid followers.
