Clubbing Tenerife – Inspiración 2009, Puerto de la Cruz

It’s getting a bit confusing in Puerto de la Cruz at the moment. I can just about keep up to date with the dance festivals every couple of weeks, but when one’s called Innovation and another’s called Inspiración (subtitled Festivel de los Sentidos), I start getting them muxed ip (must be my age).

Inspiración is the one taking place in the wonderful Lago Martiánez on Puerto’s promenade; hard to think of a more inspirational venue on Tenerife.

Lining up at the soul stage are Bobby Bob, B’Funk, delaFUNK, Ket Shah, Alan Arscott DJ A.K.A, and Simbad.

At the Alternative Music stage are Momdobon, Red Car, Jeff Automatic, Scott Huntley and Gilles Petterson.

And pumping up the volume on the House stage are Groovalia, David Castellano, Alan Arscott DJ A.K.A, Exhibición Natación Sincronizada (I’m guessing here, but I reckon this one will take place in one of the pools –synchronized swimming on dry land just doesn’t have the same impact), Simbad, Ket Shah and Rainer Trueby.

I haven’t a clue who any of them are (that’s a lie, I do know Bobby Bob, but I’ve never heard him DJ), but the music is guaranteed to make the hot summer’s night even hotter.

Date: 8th August

Times: The clubbing fest gets going from 19.00 until 03.00

Pick up your ticket at:

Ticket Price: With typical Tenerife ‘mas o menos’ consistency, the lovely Inspirations website has all you need to know about the event except the price of the ticket…Oy vey. I’ll check out a poster when I’m in town this afternoon and add it when I get back.

Club Scene in Tenerife South

Tramps, the self proclaimed King of Clubs in Playa de Las Américas, is holding thumpin’ nightly Christmas parties from the 20th to 27th December.

Northern Club Scene

Electronic House and Latin Music are introduced to each other at the first Festival Electro-Latino at the Republic Club in San Jerónimo, La Orotava. I suppose it depends how well they get on as to whether there’ll be a second festival.
DJs include Juan Magan, David Laurentini, Ray Castellano and Danger Beat & Kike Barroso, who’ll try their best to ensure clubbers get suitably hot and sweaty to their electric/Latino fusion ably assisted by some Latin Go-Go dancers.
