Rafael Ximenez born in Madrid and Mikio from Tokyo are the DJ Team PLASTIK FUNK. Together the two DJs, who are now living in Duesseldorf, form an important part of worldwide nightlife. Gigs in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Miami, Hawaii, Belfast, London, Manchester, Zurich, Ibiza, Mallorca, Barcelona, Skopje, Moscow, Florianopolis, Prague, Vienna, Tokyo that are some of the places which they have already enchanted with their sound.
At the beginning of 2005 they had been travelling with the „Privilege
World Tour“ thru France, Czech Rep., Spain, Germany, USA, Russia, Ukraine and the UK spreading the spirit of the magic island of Ibiza throughout the world and also played the first german „Sensation White“ in the Gelsenkirchen Arena auf Schalke (with more than 15.000 visitors) as well as many european openair-festivals.
SPACE IBIZA
Plastik Funk played the Bacardi mainstage in front of a few thousand enthusiastic people. In May 2006 the two played at the biggest indoor dancefestival in Portugal called "Love2Dance" in Lisbon and had several appearances at the reborn Loveparade in Berlin and the Streetparade in Zurich.
The Summer of 2007 saw the guys playing regularly gigs for the legendary wednesdays dayparty „In Bed With Space“ at Space Ibiza as well as their appearances at the Bacardi B-Live event on the lovely island of Sylt. In the same year, Plastik Funk signed as artists on Germanyʻs leading dance -imprint „Ministry of Sound“, releasing their singles „Let
Me See Your Hands“, „Irresistible“, „Show me what you got“ and „Rise“ as well as many remixes for acts like Shaggy, Spektrum, Robyn and compilations like the famous „Clubbersguide Ibiza 2008“.
In April 2009 the first „Sessions Germany“ representing the unique sound of the duo has been released on MoS.
The typical Plastik Funk sound (a mixture between classic house and electro) has found many admirers and as a result, many artists wanted the duo to remix their tracks. Here are some of the latest records reedited by Plastik Funk:

+++THE SUMMER RESIDENCIES+++
During the summer 2006, they hosted their very own night at Privilige Ibiza called „PlastikFunkTastik“ for three months with mainfloor host John Acquaviva and his guests. Apart of being residents at the worldʼs biggest club Privilege, Rafael and Mikio have been asked to be part of the Privilege World Tour again and so they once again started touring around the globe in the name of PRIVILEGE. As a big finale Rafael and Mikio were asked to play on the mainstage at the legendary SPACE Closing! The night before the closing, Bacardi invited the guys to play along with Pete Tong, Groove Armada and Molokoʼs Roisin Murphy for their secret VIP party at a finca in Ibiza.
In 2007, plans have been made again. The summer saw a cooperation of "PlastikFunkTastik" with the one and only wednesday mornings afterhour at SPACE, „In Bed With Space“.
In 2008 Rafael and Mikio were spreading their musical wings out of Ibiza (where they still play for „IBWS“ and also the El Divino tuesday „Salvacion“) to other hotspots such as Island Pag in Croatia, Antalya and Bodrum in Turkey, Mykonos in Greece, Costinesti in Romania or Ohrid in Macedonia. Even more residencies for summer 2009 have come along.
For this year gigs at Bora Bora, „Salvacion“ at El Divino and „Monday Calling“ at Space have already been set.
