Craig David TS5 pool party residency at Ibiza Rocks Hotel 2016

King of UK Garage shipping in South Beach Miami vibes on the Balearic isle with exclusive Sunday residency.

Sundays normally drag in the medics for treatment of the chilled prescription; it's the ‘day of rest' thousands plead while thousands of others claim in retaliation that there's ‘no rest for the wicked.' Both are biblical and you deviant Ibiza bound swines are unlikely using the former phrase to boast of weekend ends dedicated to the Lord (unless he's a DJ), or using the latter to mean anything other than getting right back on it, because you're definitely not taunting fellow sinners. Are we right?

We'll continue in haste by reminding you of the DJ who came to be the chart bending solo artist and famously claimed that after making love for four days straight, they were chillin' on Sunday. It is of course, Craig David, who nearly a decade ago was made a Doctor of Music for his finesse coated contribution to the music industry and we can reveal that his skill loaded scalpel is going to be making a very deep incision on the Balearic isle next summer. Yup, the multi-platinum album selling pioneer of UK garage and R&B is bringing the sound of South Beach Miami to Ibiza with an exclusive pool party residency at Ibiza Rocks Hotel; finely chiselled abs all-inclusive.

Ibiza is no stranger to the urban cut pool party with Tinie Tempah taking centre stage of the chaotic splash at Hard Rock Hotel this summer. 2015 dusted, 2016 is being thrust into our paths and for Craig David, his track is already set at the end of a year that has had UK crowds going nuts over his return. Since storming Korupt FM with a viral video that became a sensation he battered down the remaining months with live appearances closing down the stage at Notting Hill Carnival, blowing the roof off Fabric's 16th Birthday, sending the crowd off their rockets at Bestival, appearing with Major Lazer at Alexandra Palace; not to mention his collaborations with the likes of Chase & Status, Diplo, Goldlink, Kaytranada, Bonkaz, Katy B and Shy FX and releasing brand new lapped up material. Safe to say, he's back in the game and on the grounds of Ibiza being his playing field, the ball is his residency titled TS5 which began at his Miami tower suite as a pre-lash session for his mates before word spread and BOOMF, it became the most exclusive pre-party in Miami before going global.

The king of UK garage himself had this to say about his San Antonio residency: "For years I've been visiting Ibiza and have loved the energy of the place, so to bring my very own TS5 pool party to the hottest summer spot on the island excites me beyond belief. I'll be bringing that R&B, hip hop and garage flavour to balance out the incredible dance scene, bringing a fresh way of delivering a genre of music that is so close to my heart, to an island that is so magical. Working with Ibiza Rocks to bring the vibe of my Miami house parties, and the craziness of my East London nights to what will be THE pool party of the summer will be incredible, and I can't wait for it to go off!!”

Every Sunday from 17th of July to 4th of September, with Craig David all over yer BOINK, you can expect his crowd to be doing anything but chillin'. Unless they've been...

Hyper, hyper, hyper, that's what we make ya.
