Taste The Punch joins Tantra for Ibiza Closing Party with DJ Sneak, Doorly, Jesse Perez and DJ Oliver.
Thursday 12 October
‘Last Show Of The Summer’
Tantra will throw ‘The Last Show Of The Summer’ on Thursday 12th October donating proceeds to the Caritas charity organisation. Opening up the outdoor space next to the venue, the outdoor event which is powered by Taste The Punch will be split into two parts; the daytime celebrations and a night time party with DJ Sneak, Doorly, Jesse Perez and DJ Oliver.
During the daytime, Tantra will be serving up their famous BBQ from 14:00 to celebrate another successful summer with the workers and residents of the area. A selection of barbecued meats and vegetarian options will be offered up throughout the afternoon.
From 19:00, the afternoon celebrations will turn into the night time party with a huge stage and production built for a five-hour outdoor session until midnight when the party will move inside for the after hours.
British brand Taste The Punch will bring their debut Ibiza season to a close on 12th October at one of the island’s best venues. Tantra has hosted two Taste The Punch pre parties this season with Faithless and DJ Sneak both performing. This year TTP have welcomed the likes of Mark Knight, Marshall Jefferson, Felix Da Housecat and Laidback Luke to Eden and will be ending the year in style by powering the famous Tantra Closing Party.
Headlining Tantra’s ‘Last Show Of The Summer’ is legendary ‘house gangsta’ DJ Sneak along with top producer and DJ, Doorly, hotly tipped newcomer Jesse Perez, legendary islander DJ Oliver and Tantra residents Frank Mendez, Zuer and Davide Alfieri.
A special outdoor light projection show will be created by Bamboo. The industry expert has been transforming international stages into multi-dimensional worlds since the 1980s. Developing his distinctive style on the island of Ibiza, he has become a global trendsetter in the domain of visual projection.
If you can’t be on the island to celebrate the night time charity event then you can watch the action unfold live through the Tantra Facebook page from 19:00. The event will also be broadcasted on Ibiza White FM 103.7 which can be listened to globally from the Ibiza White FM app. The app can be downloaded for free from the Apple and Google Play stores or you can tune in at www.tantraibiza.com.
A larger network of radio stations around the world will be broadcasting the island event, sharing the love from the last moments of summer in Ibiza.
Jackmaster, Hauswerks and Toyboy & Robin Confirmed for Taste The Punch, Luton
When a heavyweight like Jackmaster says he can come to town, there was no doubt this would be the perfect home coming party for Taste The Punch.
It always feels good to be home, and we’re back in Luton Town after a very sunny, 4 month stint on the white isle, ready to set the town alight with full on Ibizan party spirit!
Taste The Punch return to Carnival Arts, Fri 3rd November for an 8hr musical marathon which will see Jackmaster take the headline slot. DC10, CircoLoco & Paradise crew will know all about our guest of honour as Jackmaster needs little introduction.
Currently sitting at no.2 in Resident Advisor’s Top100 DJ’s poll, here’s what RA had to say about him.
“Jack Revill is a man with little time for bullshit. He comes from a place where there’s no room for big egos, and his DJing embodies this spirit. He’s the kind of guy who’ll smash club classics with Armand Van Helden, play Stirling on a Wednesday night, mix records with zero pretention and maximum energy, and take down your number for directions to the afterparty.” – Resident Advisor, December 2015
Joining Jack & growing to be a firm favourite amongst TTP regulars is the mighty lad from Leeds, Hauswerks. With a string of releases on great labels such as Elrow, ViVa Music, Moon Harbour & Hot Creations he’s our one to watch for the remainder of 2017, always ready to smash up the club with maximum energy & party vibes.
Toyboy & Robin are also locked in on a TTP Exclusive, a relatively new but high impact house duo from labels like Sccucci Manucci & Shanghaied, with regular shows in London at Basin House, the duo bring their refined house sound to the Punchbowl for the first time.
The fun doesn’t stop there as TTP will be announcing more acts to complete the 2 room line up over the coming weeks.

Taste The Punch take it up a notch once again in their debut Ibiza season, as they present an exclusive Toolroom Live takeover, bringing two of dance music’s biggest names together under the banner of one of its biggest brands. On Friday 4th August, Faithless take to the Eden turntables as well as Toolroom head honcho, Mark Knight, to deliver a night of the highest quality house music – guaranteed…
Check Out Prok And Fitch’s Remix ‘La La Land’
Brighton’s Prok & Fitch are confirmed to play for us at Eden Ibiza this 4th August alongside the likes of Faithless (Dj Set), Mark Knight & Too Tall.
Prok & Fitch’s have become household names in the House and tech scene with numerous releases from themselves ranking at the top of global dance charts.
Their recent remix of Green Velvet’s “La La Land” has picked up some amazing support as of late from the likes of Fatboy Slim & Carl Cox both featuring it in their sets at the Kappa Futur Festival in Italy.
Dancing Astronaut recently premiered Prok & Fitch’s track “La La Land”, here’s what they had to say:
“Despite an increasingly busy tour schedule, Prok & Fitch have maintained a number of releases just as heavy. Their latest output comes in the form of a re-work to Green Velvet’s classic cut, “La La Land.” They took on this iconic piece in stride, maintaining its standout vocal clips and generally eccentric aesthetic while injecting it with an even groovier, scintillating house foundation.”
Prok & Fitch is available on Beatport now.

“The inaugural release on the imprint is comprised of three original productions, showcasing Felix’s talents as an experienced, Grammy nominated producer with over three decades in the industry.
Of the three tracks found on ‘Founders Of Filth Volume One’, one is a solo production while the other two feature noteworthy talent. Legendary vocalist Jamie Principle, who broke through on collaborations with Frankie Knuckles.
Felix revealed why he chose to start the new label and what people can expect from its output: “An imprint where no rules apply. You can be as creative as you want to be, as a community. I just got so tired of fighting labels and for my people to shine, it went on deaf ears”.
‘Founders Of Filth Volume One’ is set to release on 9th June.

Laidback Luke Confirms Two Exclusive Techno Sets For Taste The Punch At Eden Ibiza
The hugely popular Dutch DJ goes back to his roots for two exclusive sets of quality techno, the only time he’ll play techno in Ibiza this summer, as he headlines for infamous UK party, Taste The Punch, in their debut Ibiza season at Eden. Headline dates are 30th June and 28th July
Taste The Punch, the fast-rising UK party promoters from Luton, have announced that Dutch superstar DJ, Laidback Luke, will headline two dates for Taste The Punch Ibiza at Eden, and will perform two exclusive, underground techno sets. These two sets will be a rare opportunity to hear Laidback Luke showcasing his love for techno, the sound he was known for when he first started Djing in the ‘90’s. Exclusive to Taste The Punch, these will be the only techno sets he will play in Ibiza this summer. The headline dates are Friday 30th June and Friday 28th July. Advance tickets can be purchased at www.tastethepunch.com/ibiza starting from just €25.
Laidback Luke is one of the most recognised names in dance music and remains at the forefront of the global EDM explosion. He turned heads at the end of last year by dropping a techno set in New York, going on to remind people that he started out as a techno DJ, and was even resident at the legendary Awakenings parties. Laidback Luke has never lost his love for techno and so has decided once again to treat a select few to a rare techno set, exclusively with Taste The Punch at Eden.
Luke explains what to expect from his exceptional journeys back into techno, “I’m bringing it back to my 90’s roots, keeping it abstract and underground, bringing you the sound from when I first started out as a techno DJ. This was the sound I was playing when I first set foot in Ibiza.”
Taste The Punch has become one of the country’s best underground dance events, welcoming such luminaries as Pete Tong, B Traits, Claptone, Annie Mac, Amine Edge & DANCE, Mark Knight, Darius Syrossian and many more to ‘the punchbowl’ turntables. Laidback Luke spinning techno exclusively for the Taste The Punch crowds sums up the attitude and excitement that this young brand will be bringing to the world’s clubbing capital over a 16 week residency at Eden this summer.
Taste The Punch co-promoter, Dean Shields comments, “This is exactly why we decided to take on Ibiza this summer. All the hard work will be worth it just to see Laidback Luke step behind the decks at Eden, our ‘Ibiza punchbowl’, and start dropping his favourite techno, exclusively for the Taste The Punch crowds. These headline techno sets will be some of those Ibiza moments that get talked about for years to come.”
Laidback Luke joins a list of quality artists already announced for Taste The Punch Ibiza every Friday at Eden from 16th June, including Faithless (DJ set), Mark Knight, Tough Love, Monki, Weiss, Icarus, Lee Walker, Marshall Jefferson, Lauren Lo Sung and George Kwali.
Further lineup announcements are coming soon.
