The summer residencies
During the summer months Plastik Funk are travelling to all the hip places and play the most amazing beachparties and club gigs around the world, but without any doubt, there second home is the white island:
Ibiza! This is the place where everything started and every year the musical inspiration spreading from this lovely island is a major part of the energy for their gigs around the year.
Being residents at one of the best parties at the worldwide known SPACE, gives Rafael and Mikio the opportunity to live their love for housemusic in every possible genre by playing saturdays at Republik / Cafe Ole, the fastest growing event on the island (7.500 people going bonkers at Space every Saturday!). But also their close friendship to BORA BORA is another great platform to present the musical diversity of Plastik Funk, playing guest sets at the legendary beach club for several hundred crazy partypeople. The whole atmosphere and the vibe of the
island can be found in all Plastik Funk productions and is one reason for their success, leading to a 3-week-number-one on the main dj-download site Beatport beginning of 2010. After the closings in Ibiza, Rafael and Mikio are part of the Republik World Tour and travel around the world in the name of Ibiza.
