Wowser! What a year for Brazilian clubs. Six in the top 50, two of them new entries, including this one.

Sky Room only opened in November 2012, but already it's catapulted in at No.39, yet more evidence that the glamourous party animals of South America's economic powerhouse — previously mostly into Brazilian country, rock and pop — are finally going nuts for dance music.

Also remarkable about this plush, wood-finished club, with mind-melting lights and video mapping, is just how it's won the hearts of Ribeirão Preto's most salubrious by booking mainly Brazil's biggest DJs.

Gui Boratto, Mau Mau, Carlo Dallanese are Sky Bar's names in lights so far, alongside recognized faces on the circuit like Ricardo Menga and Magui.
