JACKMASTER – 03.11.17 – CARNIVAL ARTS – LUTON
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.

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.

Taste The Punch, are bringing their unique events to Ibiza for the first time. The fast-rising party promoters from Luton, England are taking over Eden nightclub in San Antonio every Friday night from 16th June to 29th September. The first headline acts announced today are Faithless (DJ set), Mark Knight, Weiss, Lee Walker, Lauren Lo Sung, Icarus and Monki (BBC Radio 1), Marshall Jefferson, Tough Love and George Kwali. Taste The Punch are stepping it up for their first overseas adventure. Alongside the high quality names already announced, expect a wide spectrum of unmissable artists at the top of their game, and a showcase of DJ’s that continue to drive dance music culture in every corner of the globe. Advance tickets can be purchased at www.tastethepunch.com/ibiza starting from just €25.
Just 4 years ago, 2 brothers decided they would recreate the vibes of London’s hottest raves and secret parties, 30 minutes north of the capital, in Luton. Since then, 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. Last year saw Taste The Punch hit new heights as they hosted a stage at Eastern Electrics Festival. The unstoppable upward trajectory continues with their first Ibiza residency, where Taste The Punch will expand their horizons again, booking a wider range of must-see acts for the very first time.
Taste The Punch co-promoter, Dean Shields comments, “When this opportunity came along we didn’t have to think twice about throwing our heart, soul, blood, sweat and tears into being a part of Eden for summer 2017. The island is changing, and we know that this summer, Eden is returning to its rightful prestigious place at the core of Ibiza’s nightlife, bringing in the right brands that can deliver high quality lineups. We’re bringing something fresh to Ibiza and our ethos is simple; we want to offer an incredible experience to anyone and everyone that comes to Taste The Punch.”
Faithless need little introduction, selling over 15 million records worldwide, giving electronic music some of its finest moments with tracks like ‘Insomnia’, ‘God Is A DJ’ and ‘We Come 1’. Over 20 years they’ve delivered consistently, whether on stage or behind the decks with Sister Bliss, and are a fitting name to kick off Taste The Punch’s Ibiza announcement. Expect 3 massive sets at Eden this season.
Mark Knight remains one of house music’s most influential names (his Toolroom Radio show now reaches over 13.5 million people in over 60 countries). The Toolroom Records boss is one of the scene’s most accomplished producers and his innate ability to rock any dancefloor has seen him become a firm favourite of the Taste The Punch crowds. Mark Knight behind the turntables at Eden is a guaranteed Ibiza classic.
Another Toolroom and Taste The Punch regular, Weiss also joins the Eden lineup. Expect quality, jackin’ beats and rumbling basslines to shake the island as Weiss shows why he’s one of the biggest new names out there, with support from the likes of Pete Tong, Claptone, Gorgon City, Claude Von Stroke, Hot Since 82 and more.
Taste The Punch continues to mix up the massive names with the rising stars as they bring Lee Walker to the white isle. His massive rework of DJ Deeon ‘Freak Like Me’ remains a true house anthem. Liverpool’s Lauren Lo Sung also lines up; a proven new talent at Carl Cox’s Revolution party at Space Ibiza, The Warehouse Project, Sankeys Ibiza, Bedrock and more. Icarus is the name on everyone’s lips right now. The Bristolian duo recently scored the ‘hottest record in the world’ on Radio 1 with their stunning edit of Arle ‘Close To You’ and again with their original track ‘King Kong’. George Kwali also joins the lineup with his Kideko collab ‘Crank It’ still ranking as one of biggest house tunes around.
Taste The Punch loves to mix it up and brings a selection of highly rated and experienced names to ‘the Ibiza punchbowl’. Monki is one of the most talented and versatile DJs currently on BBC Radio 1. Her eclectic, high energy mix of styles – everything with a groove, is perfect for the open-minded Taste The Punch crowds. House legend Marshall Jefferson will take over for an exclusive gig, his only confirmed Ibiza date so far this season! House fans should not miss the chance to see one of the originators of house music in action. And quality crossover duo Tough Love will bring their Get Twisted night to Taste The Punch, taking the dancefloor on an unforgettable trip to the bassier side of house.

Taste The Punch will truly celebrate the spirit of Ibiza, delivering a spectacular experience, as well as a diverse array of music and Friday night’s most accessible party vibe.
