Special Thank You to The Gift's Partners, Staff, and Volunteers
As we say goodbye to the inaugural The Gift for 2013, all of us at Disco Donnie Presents and Sunset Events would like to thank the hundreds of volunteers and staff whose dedication, hard work, and commitment helped make The Gift an unbelievably memorable event.
We also want to recognize and thank the City of Tampa, Tampa Sports Authority, Tampa Sports Commission, Tampa Convention & Visitors Bureau, Tampa Police Department, and the Tampa Fire Department for their valued assistance and support! We couldn’t have done it without you.
We’ll see you next year!

Day After Weekend Warriors: Anna Lunoe, Apster, Billy The Kit
Returning to Figali Plaza in Panamá City this coming January 10-12th, The Day After Festival is right around the corner. We’ve still got some time to kill before our tropical getaway, so before we get down, here are three mixes from our Day After Festival roster to get you pumped for the upcoming event.
Tickets are on sale now, buy your tickets today!
Billy The Kit presents: Rockin’ N’ Ravin’ #03
Dutch talent Billy The Kit treats fans to an action packed radio show broadcasted every third friday of the month on SLAM!FM. For the third episode, Billy shows off what he does best as master of the mashup and edits. We loved “Maximal Encore Animals” where Billy throws Tiësto, Jay Z, Linkin Park, and Martin Garrix together for one massive track.

Apster b2b Bassjackers at Tomorrowland 2013
This year’s Tomorrowland brought in more talents than most people could keep track of. Among those talents was Day After Festival artist Apster who took the stage with Bassjackers for a ridiculous back-to-back hour set. You’ll get a heavy dose of tracks from other Day After Festivals artists like Hardwell, Dyro, and Martin Garrix but the last acappella definitely put a smile on our face.

Anna Lunoe – Solé Fixtape Vol. 18
Every month, Los Angeles based company Solé Bicycles offers listeners one of their signature Fixtapes from an underground talent in the music industry. Aussie Day After Festival artist Anna Lunoe lent her talents to the series and it’s already one of our favorite mixes. Enjoy this mix while you’re chilling out or warming up.
“To me this mix is the soundtrack of a kind of happy/sad end of summer sunday. Some of these songs are new and some are very old. Thank you for listening and I hope that you enjoy.”

Thank You for Being a Part of Tampa's Inaugural The Gift
After months of planning Tampa’s spectacle event and an evening of dancing, The Gift has sadly come to a close. All of us at Disco Donnie Presents and Sunset Events would like to give a huge THANK YOU to the thousands of you who were a part of the first Gift – each and everyone of you made it such an unforgettable experience.
Tampa was certainly ready to get down and after Adventure Club’s tribute to Paul Bäumer of Bingo Players, there was such an intense feeling of togetherness in the air, it was truly indescribable. No matter the festival or spectacle event, it will always be incomplete without the music lovers to come and fill the dance floor. So THANK YOU AGAIN for all of your support! We couldn’t do it without you.
We’ll see you next year!
