As part of our bi-weekly residency, Gorgeous Dubai will bring you club nights from across the globe, and to kick start this monthly showcase, we bring you the UK most sophisticated, stylish and glamorous club night, PUKKA UP! With head honcho Rob Wilder teasing you on the hallowed Apartment decks…
Fresh from their Ibiza season residency, Pukka Up, a brand that has grown phenomenally in the last 5 years from London Thames Boat parties to Pacha and The Cross residencies, from Ibiza sunset cruises to Es Paradis Ibiza residency, and now making their much awaited debut in Dubai! And there’s no better way to launch than bringing their top resident DJ and head honcho, Rob Wilder, formerly a Hed Kandi headliner for 6 years and Gatecrasher resident!!
Pukka Up began in 2003 with infamous London boat parties down the Thames, and after a brief residency at Turnmills exploded onto countless famous dancefloors across the UK, and Internationally, conquering Shanghai, Sydney, Paris, Ireland, Barcelona and Bahrain!
The ultimate push for Pukka Up emerged and grew when they began their residency in Ibiza, starting with their Mixmag Award winning Sunset boat parties, growing into their initial residency at the Coco Loco room at Privelege, and then in 2005 with their now infamous residency at Es Paradis. Pukka Up re-launched itself with a more sexy, stylish image, taking on tour abstract entertainers, amazing sensuous new artwork and sumptuous décor, creating an art gallery effect along the way. Together with a pumping, jackin' house music policy and a solid DJ resident team Pukka Up has cleverly stepped up to a new level.
To quote from the team themselves:
“Pukka Up is all about sophisticated, stylish and glamorous club nights. We want you to leave our nights with a long lasting memory and experience. We want to challenge the art of clubbing, where beautifully abstract entertainers meet amazing sensuous artwork. Where sumptuous décor creates an artistic feel for every night; and where new styles of house bring the ‘Art Back to House Music’.
2007 saw MTV Dance covering all of Pukka Up’s parties in Ibiza, with Rob Wilder himself hosting 2 of the shows! MTV also followed Pukka Up and filmed their party at Miami’s WMC 07… so it’s with a huge honour and excitement that the proud as punch promoters of Gorgeous have the chance to bring PUKKA UP to DUBAI! Rob Wilder will be joined by residents Dion Mavath & Ricardo Da Force, warmed up by DJ Klikky! Yet another night of gorgeous shenanigans… Pukka Up and Party!
