So who is Phil Gifford ?

From the golden era of the 90s to the center stage of the modern arena circuit, Phil Gifford is a name synonymous with the pulse of the underground and the high-octane energy of Ibiza’s most legendary dance floors and he will be hitting the Cannock Dance floors at the Slute and Daze Opening party on Friday March 20th 2026.

The Architect of the "Wobble"

Phil isn’t just a DJ; he’s a pioneer. As the inventor of the Wobble brand, he crafted a sonic identity that remains a cornerstone of Birmingham’s underground dance history. His ability to curate "underground memories" continues to thrive today, most notably with the celebrated Wobble takeovers at Es Paradis, bringing that raw, authentic energy back to the White Isle.

From the Underground to the Arena

A true "DJ’s DJ," Phil’s reputation for setting the perfect tone has made him the go-to warm-up for Pete Tong at the massive Ibiza Classics shows at the Utilita Arena. Whether he’s commandingly opening an arena for thousands or steering an intimate, sweat-soaked basement, his versatility is unmatched.

Phil’s career reads like a "Who’s Who" of iconic electronic music venues. He has graced the decks of every major institution in Ibiza and beyond:

• The Ibiza Giants: Amnesia, Privilege, Pacha, El Divino, and the legendary Manumission.
• UK Institutions: Frequent appearances at Ministry of Sound and headlining sets at Fabric for Clockwork Orange.
  The Festival Circuit: A mainstay at major gatherings like Clockstock and Parklands Festival.
  
  
  

Staying true to the "house party" roots of the scene, Phil is a regular fixture at the prestigious Pikes Ibiza for the All Back to Mine sessions. From the spiritual home of Balearic cool to the world's biggest stages, Phil Gifford remains a driving force in electronic music, bridging the gap between nostalgic 90s heritage and the cutting edge of the contemporary scene.
