Back in São Paulo, I suggest Oakenfold try the local poison, cachaça (a sugar-cane-based rum), made into a caipirinha with the addition of limes and sugar. “I’m drinked out,” he tells me between yawns. He opts instead for a maracujá juice, a South American fruit (known as passion fruit in English) believed to have sedative qualities. It seems Oakenfold needs his rest.
