Plastik Funk

The re-emergence of Plastik Funk – aka Spanish DJ, Rafael Ximenez-Carrillo – from lockdown has been a particularly triumphant one. He was the first musician granted a travel visa to Vietnam after restrictions ended, though it’s hardly surprising, as Plastik Funk’s party-ready house sound is arguably custom-made to celebrate surviving a pandemic. “I was touring and played around 60 shows this year already which feels great,” says the relentlessly positive DJ, “and we are working on my tours for 2022.” He also launched a new merch line and his own charity coffee brand.
