International DJ and Producer Rob Wilder has joined popular UK & Ibiza house brand, Pukka Up as the new Tour Manager and Resident.

The original Hed Kandi DJ recently left the world-renowned brand after enjoying a very successful six years trotting the globe as one of its main DJs; and contributing production-wise under the guise of Wilder & Clarke .

Now he’s swapped his reins to become a fully fledged member of the Pukka Up team under the title of Tour Manager as well as mixing with the likes of Nick Bridges, Herd & Fitz, Soul Avengerz and the rest of the Pukka Up DJ squad, spinning beats for the house promotion’s UK, Ibiza and International gigs.

Rob explains; “I’ve had so much fun over the past six years playing for HK, and enjoyed every minute, but I felt it was time to move on to new challenges. Pukka Up throws some amazing parties and I’m very much looking forward to becoming part of the team and playing across the Pukka Up UK, International and Ibiza residencies.

2007 is set to be, by far, Pukka Up’s biggest to date. They’ve currently just celebrated their fourth sell-out birthday at Pacha and are currently in the throws of planning their third Ibiza season at Es Paradis, as well as the infamous Ibiza sunset boat parties every Monday night (18th June – 17th September).

Pukka Up have also launched an exclusive UK, Miami and Ibiza club tour in association with MTV Dance, which will culminate with two huge parties on the White Isle in July and September. A Pukka Up album is also earmarked for the summer.

Pukka Up founder, Mark Graham adds; “It’s an very exciting time for Pukka Up, as everything is coming together. We’ve got some amazing plans for the summer, so we’re delighted to have Rob on board. He’s a DJ I’ve also admired for ages. His style of music and energy fits in perfectly with what we’re trying to achieve as a brand”.
