PUKKA UP @ THE CINNAMON, WARSAW (23/02/08)
featuring Tim Fanucci & Rob Wilder
Influences: Following an exceptionally successful five years Pukka Up are preparing for what appears to be their busiest and most exciting period yet! Ever since they began their venture in 2001 throwing the infamous boat parties along the Thames and the small residency they held at Turnmills, Pukka Up have exploded on to countless other dance floors and made a huge impact at the most prestigious clubs in London, earning residencies at Pacha and The Cross.
The success of Pukka Up club nights has escalated them in to becoming somewhat of an institution in clubland, providing some of the most talked about events in the clubbing calendar with features on Radio One's 'House Rules', Vibe FM and regular appearances in influential music magazines such as Mixmag, DJ Magazine, International DJ, M8 and Notion.
On a more wider scale, Pukka Up hit Ibiza with their original and unique sunset boat parties, which over the years have been highly acclaimed by the press, customers and other promoters alike and have placed Pukka Up on the international clubbing map gaining them parties in destinations such as Shanghai, Sydney, Paris, Ireland and Barcelona. However it was the parties over in Ibiza that earned them the award for 'most mentalist party' by Mixmag and eventually led to their initial residency in the Coco Loco room at Privilege.
2005 became a pinnacle year for Pukka Up in Ibiza, when they were thrilled to announce their 'Nautical Voyage' residency at one of the islands most established clubs - Es Paradis. Alongside pool parties and pre-parties at Plastik, Itica and Savannahs, Pukka Up sent Ibiza back to its prime with an envious parade of sailor themed entertainers, stilt walkers, flame throwers and dancers, bringing a carnival atmosphere back to Ibiza which ultimately led to be their busiest summer to date.
This year Pukka Up are taking on a more mature, sophisticated, stylish image, so expect a montage of new events and residencies throughout the Year, where you can expect beautifully abstract entertainers, amazing sensuous new artwork and sumptuous décor creating an artistic feel within each venue, along with a pumping, jackin new style of house that Pukka Up cleverly take to different level.
Sounds Like: A funky, sexy blend of House Music with twists of electro and dirty basslines chucked in for good measure!
