Do Not Sleep

Do Not Sleep is one of Ibiza’s standout party brands, known for its underground ethos and high-energy events. Founded in 2014 by Neil Evans, who was also behind the well-known party brand Magna Carta, Do Not Sleep quickly distinguished itself in Ibiza's crowded nightlife scene by focusing on a no-frills, music-first approach. This commitment to underground house and techno attracted a loyal following of clubbers looking for an authentic experience.

The party made its debut at Privilege, hosting the intimate Vista Club room, perfect for its underground vibe and its legendary sunrises, giving clubbers an unforgettable experience.

Do Not Sleep became known for its raw, back-to-basics approach to clubbing. Unlike many other Ibiza parties that emphasized lavish production and celebrity DJs, Do Not Sleep focused on quality music and creating an unpretentious, rave-like environment. This ethos helped the brand stand out and gain recognition beyond the island.

In 2016, Do Not Sleep made another significant move, this time to the iconic Space Ibiza, one of the most legendary clubs in the world. Holding a residency at Space solidified the brand's reputation, as it became a regular fixture in the Ibiza nightlife calendar. The residency featured a roster of top underground artists, further enhancing its credibility within the electronic music community.

Following the closure of Space in 2016, Do Not Sleep found a new home at Sankeys (now Avyca), another well-known venue on the island. At Sankeys, the party continued to thrive, offering a platform for both established and emerging artists. The party's dedication to the underground sound and its consistent quality attracted a diverse and passionate crowd, making it one of the must-attend events for house and techno lovers. 2018 saw a move to Amnesia hosting the club room for a busy season.

Do Not Sleep has also taken the brand global, hosting events in major cities across the UK, as well as Amsterdam, Miami and Buenos Aires, further cementing its status as a leading name in electronic music.

Do Not Sleep has maintained its core values, continuing to offer a raw, authentic clubbing experience that's not to be missed.
