'Irish Banksy' Fin DAC teams up with top Ibiza nightclub, creating stunning 30ft mural
The collaboration has seen the artist create original artworks, limited edition prints, and a towering 30ft mural on the side of the club itself.
The mural, titled 'Ultra', features one of the artist's signature masked female figures and now looms large over the queues of clubbers lining up to enter Hï Ibiza's flagship venue, The Theatre.
As part of the creative partnership, four of Fin DAC's characters - Delta, Ultra, Exciter, and Violater - will front the campaign for the residency, which runs weekly on Monday nights throughout June to September.
James Hype and MEDUZA, two of the most in-demand names in electronic music, will also be debuting some futuristic concepts as part of the residency.
Italian house music collective MEDUZA will showcase their hybrid-live format MEDUZA3, while James Hype introduces SYNC, a high-energy DJ set that directly controls and responds to visual effects via advanced MIDI technology.
Fin DAC's contribution includes limited edition prints of each character, with only 50 copies of each image being released via West Contemporary Editions. Every print is hand-signed, numbered, and features a unique tattoo and artist logo.
Speaking about the collaboration, Fin DAC cited the influence of late '80s and early '90s club culture and design.
He said: 'In fashion, everything tends to be on a 30 year cyclical trend, this was what I had in mind when approaching these artworks for Our House. My own experience of the late '80s and early '90s was as an avid clubber/DJ in the UK with numerous annual trips to The White Isle to lap up as much as I could of that scene.
'You could say my life was music, fashion and art/design... all the elements that I wanted to embed in this project.
'Nightclub flyers of that era featured artists like Jason Brooks heavily and so I definitely wanted the attitude of his ladies to come across in my own artworks.
'When undertaking the preliminary designs, I also named each individual character after a Depeche Mode album: a band who got bigger and bigger throughout the late '80s and early '90s and have a been a permanent in my life since my early teens. Those names aren't public knowledge but still for me they grounded the artworks in the period I was reimagining.
'Stylistically the artworks are a blend of two distinct periods of my art life: a monochromatic style that I emerged with as an artist and a neon style that I first started doing in 2021. The merging of colourful/neon graphic backgrounds and a spitting style of monochromatic spray paint (with an addition of club style lighting) seemed perfect'
The project is the result of a joint effort between Club Class Music Management and art consultancy agency West Contemporary, combining top-tier music programming with immersive art direction. According to MEDUZA, the experience begins before fans even enter the club, with Fin DAC's mural setting the tone: 'Welcome to Our House.'

Lily Collins ditches the platform heels in favour of Birkenstock sandals as she films Emily In Paris season five on location in Venice
Lily Collins is typically spotted wearing a pair of towering chunky platform heels but as she films scenes for fifth season of Emily In Paris in Venice it has appeared she has ditched her killer stilettos. The actress, 36, who stars as the titular character, has headed to Venice, Italy, for the episodes as the series will follow her character's journey to Rome. But as she was filmed walking around Venice and meeting cast members for lunch, Lily was spotted wearing a pair of brown Birkenstock sandals. Wearing a bold red mini dress, Lily's character once again proved she is still every inch the fashionista. The bold outfit featured a puff ball skirt and some sheer long sleeves with a criss cross pattern printed all over. The actress wore matching tights which featured a bold lining on the inside of her legs. The actress, 36, who stars as the titular character, has headed to Venice, Italy , for the episodes as the series will follow her character's journey to Rome. As she enjoyed some food, the actress was shielded her from the blazing sun as they carried an umbrella over her head as Lily walked up the steps. Emily was left with a decision at the end of series four, as she was offered the position of the lead of the Italian Agence Grateau office. Despite falling in love with Paris and the agency, Emily admitted she was tempted by a new life - with a new man - in Rome. Fans will remember Emily and Gabriel's (Lucas Bravo) romance fell apart after they finally tried to make a go of their relationship after he broke off his relationship with Camille. Following a fake pregnancy scandal, Camille revealed she wasn't actually expecting and Emily and Gabriel tried to work out a romantic future. However, it wasn't meant to be for the star-crossed lovers who were unable to work out their differences and she was pushed into the arms of Marcello, after they met on the slopes of Megève, when she was abandoned at the top of a slope by Gabriel. They crossed paths again at a polo match in Paris and they enjoyed a night out together in the city, which lasted until the following morning when he asked her to come and visit him in Rome. Emily followed her heart and travelled to meet Marcello, where she was also tasked with acquiring his family's business by her boss Sylvie. However, Emily was reluctant to mix business with pleasure. The bold outfit featured a puff ball skirt and some sheer long sleeves with a criss cross pattern printed all over The actress wore matching tights which featured a bold lining on the inside of her legs The pair hit a stumbling block when he learned of her plans to try and secure a professional relationship with his family, who owned a luxury cashmere company, but they eventually managed to iron their issues out. At this point, Gabriel had a candid conversation with Alfie (Lucien Laviscount), who urged him to try and win Emily back, despite previously being romantically involved with her himself. But despite dashing to Rome with the hope of reuniting, Emily was nowhere to be seen as she enjoyed her romantic day out with Marcello. Speaking about the upcoming series, Lucas said: 'I think Gabriel realised that he doesn't want to let Emily go so easily, and he might have made a big mistake. 'They certainly had a big fight and a cooling-off period. But I think he realised that by the end of the season, that there's something that he doesn't want to let Emily go. 'I don't know what that means. Doesn't necessarily mean they're going to be together instantly or ever. I don't know, but I think he feels there's unfinished business with the two of them.' However, there is hope for the couple as according to creator Darren Star, the season is not fully moving to Rome. He told Deadline: 'She didn't change her Instagram handle to Emily in Rome. She is working in Rome sometimes. Sylvie's company has an office in Rome. 'Emily's getting that on its feet. I don't necessarily think that it means a permanent — in my mind, it's definitely not a permanent — move to Rome. We're not leaving Paris.' The series is expected to air towards the end of this year, but one of the main characters has revealed they won't be returning. Camille Razat, 31, who plays Camille in the romantic comedy-drama - took to Instagram to reveal the shocking news with an emotional goodbye post after fans fumed at bosses for 'destroying the character'. Camille has played Emily's pal and love rival in the show since the programme hit the streaming service back in 2020. Now, after five years on our screens as Camille, the actress is ready to move on. The new pictures come after fans were saddened to learn that one of the show's main character's won't be returning in the next series (Camille Razat pictured 2024) Camille Razat, who plays Camille (right) in the romantic comedy-drama revealed the news with an emotional goodbye post on Instagram after fans said bosses 'destroyed the character' Sharing various snaps from her time on the show, she wrote: 'After an incredible journey, I've made the decision to step away from Emily in Paris. 'It has been a truly wonderful experience, one filled with growth, creativity, and unforgettable memories. 'I'm deeply grateful to @starmandarren and the entire team at @netflix and @paramountpics for their trust and for giving me the opportunity to bring Camille to life and leaving the door open for her return, as she will always be a part of Emily In Paris world. 'This character has meant a lot to me, and I feel that her storyline has naturally come to an end. It felt like the right moment to explore new horizons.' She added: 'I've recently wrapped two series: Nero for Netflix and the Lost Station Girls for Disney+. I'm also excited to share that I've launched my own production company, @tazar_production. 'We mainly produce music videos and short films for now, but we're currently developing our first feature film, something I'm truly passionate about and excited to grow. 'I leave the show with nothing but love and admiration for the cast, crew, and fans who have supported us along the way. Thank you for the beautiful ride.' Her fans and co-stars rushed to the comments section to share their support. Lily said: 'Love you sister. It's been a wild ride and an absolute pleasure. You're a rockstar. So proud of you.' Philippine Beaulieu added: 'You'll be so missed ma chérie Frenchie!!!' Lucien wrote: 'From day one you've been my rider on this show. Your passion for story telling, your dark sense of humour, your unwavering ability to stay true to yourself, when everything's pushing you in a different direction. 'You're special Camille and I feel absolutely honoured to of been able to dance with you these past seasons. Keep on shining. 'I'm going to miss laughing with you. I'm cheering you on in everything you do.' Emily In Paris premiered on Netflix in October 2020. The synopsis on the streaming service reads: 'New passions. New fashions. New Emily? 'A plucky American marketing whiz spreads her wings in life and love after landing her dream job in Paris.' The show, created by Star, has had 40 episodes run over four seasons. It stars the likes of Lily, Philippine, Ashley Park, Lucas, Samuel Arnold, Bruno Gouery, William Abadie and Lucien.

The Eastern Suburbs' new power couple revealed: Inside the secret romance and rocking Sydney's elite
Eastern suburbs socialites Linda Rogan and Deniz Bekir have been spotted holidaying together in Ibiza, despite attempts to keep their new relationship private. The beauty entrepreneur and Sydney businessman, who both recently ended their marriages, are now understood to be dating after sharp-eyed followers noticed striking similarities in their social media posts. The Daily Telegraph reports that while the pair have not shared any photos together, matching sunset views, identical villa settings and poolside backdrops confirm they've been travelling as a couple. Bekir quietly split from his wife Pembe earlier this year. She has since moved on with a new partner. The timing of the breakup coincided with the sudden end of another high-profile marriage - Nic and Litsa Stavropoulos. Litsa, a close friend of Bekir, has since been spotted with a mystery silver-haired man, whose identity has now been confirmed within social circles but remains unpublicised. It comes just weeks after IT couple Bobby Oatley and Xanthe Wetzler announced that they're expecting their first baby. The glamorous pair, known for their high-profile connections, shared the happy news in a playful black and white photobooth strip uploaded to Instagram. The candid series featured a loved-up Bobby cradling Xanthe's growing baby bump and the creative director beaming with pride as she posed with sunglasses and a cheeky grin. In the caption, Xanthe, 33, added a heartfelt message for others on their fertility journey: 'Thinking of anyone who may still be on their journey.' The announcement sent fans and friends into a frenzy, with hundreds flooding the comments with messages of love and excitement. Fashion stylist Jess Pecoraro left a row of red heart emojis, while Kate Bond added a series of heart emojis. Lara Worthington's ex best friend Hermione Underwood declared: 'Pic three is the one' before following up with: 'Can't wait to do life with you little one.' Ex reality star-turned-real estate agent Thomas Popple wrote: 'The best!! Congratulations guys.' It comes just weeks after IT couple Bobby Oatley and Xanthe Wetzler (both pictured) announced that they're expecting their first baby Meanwhile, model and mum Bambi Northwood-Blyth gushed: 'The coolest of them all. Love you both so much. Mum and dad.' 'Oh my goodness congratulations to you both!' another person commented. 'Yayyayayy too excited for baby bobs!' one added. The baby news comes more than three years after Bobby and Xanthe tied the knot in an intimate wedding ceremony in February 2021. Bobby, 35, is the grandson of the late winemaking and sailing legend Bob Oatley. His family famously owns the Hamilton Island resort and the iconic Wild Oats XI yacht. Xanthe, a creative powerhouse, is a staple on the Sydney society scene. The couple are well-connected in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs, counting pilates queen Bernadette Fahey, interior designer Tamsin Johnson, and Melbourne style identity Patch Garnaut as close friends. While Xanthe has yet to reveal her exact due date, her visible bump and third-trimester glow suggest the pair won't be waiting long to welcome their new arrival.

Katie Price 'faces new legal row as exes Kieran Hayler and Alex Reid team up to block her new tell-all documentary'
Katie Price is allegedly at the centre of a new legal row with her exes Kieran Hayler and Alex Reid over her new tell-all documentary, new reports claim. The former glamour model, 47, is lifting the lid on her personal life in the series, which will coincide with the 30-year anniversary of her entry into the limelight as one of The Sun's page 3 girls. The three-part show, likely to release next year, is set to delve into the details of her fleeting flings, serious relationships and time in the spotlight. But Kieran, 38, and Alex, 50, are reportedly 'teaming up' and have consulted lawyers to block her from featuring them on the show and spilling the beans on their relationships. A source told The Mirror: 'They feel like they have been backed into a corner and have no choice. 'They just want her to stop trashing them, and can't believe she is being given a platform.' Daily Mail has contacted Katie, Kieran and Alex's representatives for comment. Kieran, who shares Jett, 12, and Bunny, 11, with Katie, issued a public apology to his former stepdaughter Princess Andre last week after she admitted: 'I wish I could have had a happier childhood.' The personal trainer told the Daily Mail he has been saddened by the recent revelations from Princess, 18, who explained the toughest time in her life was when Katie's marriage to Kieran broke down after he confessed to cheating with multiple women. Speaking in her new ITV2 show The Princess Diaries, the influencer recalled watching her mother's decline following her split from Kieran, saying Katie was 'heartbroken' and suffered 'dark times', which led to her battles with drug addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder, and attempted suicide. Princess said: 'He was in our lives for five years, so we got really close to him, obviously we loved him, he did a lot of stuff and when they split up everything went downhill. My mum was obviously heartbroken, she didn't deal with that the best way, she went through a very, very dark time which was understandable.' And now, Kieran has admitted he 'regrets' cheating on Katie with the TV star's former best friend Jane Pountney and their ex-nanny Nikki Brown, saying it became impossible to shield Junior, 20, and Princess, whose father is singer Peter Andre, from the devastation that ensued. Kieran said leaving the marital home where he lived with Junior and Princess for five years was 'one of the hardest things I ever had to do' and he's deeply sorry to the children for failing to protect them. He said: 'It makes me feel so sad. I am as sorry as I can be to Princess witnessing us go through such a horrible separation. Leaving them was one of the hardest things I ever had to do. 'I would love to apologise and really know how she felt during that time when mine and Kate's marriage broke down. 'It's difficult isn't it but I would like to reach out. I would love to support Princess and when I have time I will sit down and watch her show. 'Whenever any marriage breaks down and one parent has to leave the house, it rocks those children's worlds, it's really sad. I went into my marriage wanting a happily ever after, no one goes into a marriage wanting it to break down and end but ultimately as much as it impacted the adults, it disrupted and affected the children. 'When I left, it wasn't that was it, end of, point blank, I always made sure I kept in touch. 'It's hard, when they're your stepchildren, naturally that bond disappears over time, you have played a massive part in their life but Princess is 18 now, life moves on and you no longer play a role in their lives anymore. 'But when I look back, I believe I was the best stepfather that I could have been to them. I was respectful to Pete, I hope that's how they see me as well.' Katie and Kieran were married from January 2013 to March 2021 when the couple's divorce was finalised but their relationship only lasted five years. Following her split from Peter, Katie married cagefighter Alex Reid in a whirlwind Las Vegas ceremony in 2010, but their union lasted less than a year. Katie later responded to Peter's bombshell statement with a bizarre Instagram post about 'fake Sinners who play the victim' on Friday Elsewhere, Katie and ex-husband Peter are currently locked in a bitter feud after he hit out at her 'baseless lies over the last 16 years' in a blistering statement on Thursday. Katie responded to Peter 's bombshell statement with a bizarre Instagram post about 'fake Sinners who play the victim' on Friday. Rumours of a 'rift' between Katie and their daughter Princess have been growing in recent weeks after Katie didn't attend Princess' 18th birthday party, or appear on the nepo baby 's fly-on-the-wall ITV television series. Katie later claimed that it was her daughter's management who had told her not to appear on the show. In a lengthy Instagram statement, Katie pleaded 'I'm trying to be the best I can' while noting 'she hasn't always been the best mother'. She wrote: 'Saints and sinners. As we know, in this life we are thought of as Saints and Sinners. I know I will always be a Sinner. That's fair, I allowed myself to fail into reliance on drugs and alcohol. 'At times I was not the mother I should have been while I struggled with mental illness. I have been at times a poor friend, an awful sibling, an an untrustworthy partner. I've self medicated, been unfaithful, damaged myself and those that I love. 'I've had many reasons - I was sexually abused when younger; I've had relationships that have been coercive; and my mental health issues - but I don't want to make excuses.' Katie continued: 'I've recognised my issues and worked to put them behind me. Sometimes I tried and failed, sometimes I succeeded. 'I've pulled myself out of suicidal spiral because I love my children and want to be there for them. 'I don't pretend to be perfect by any means - but I'm trying to be the best I can. Then there are the "Saints". Some are genuine and some have helped me. 'But some Saints are not who they would have you believe they are. They have a carefully managed image which must be exhausting to maintain. 'Some Saints are fake. They play the victim and to succeed in life they need a villain... or at least a Sinner. Without the Sinner they don't get to be the Saint... 'As a Sinner - I sometimes get bored of these Saints. But maybe I should feel sorry for them, It must be such hard work having to pretend all the time. 'Anyway, all you Sinners keep your heads up and keep trying to be better. All you Saints, it's ok not to be perfect xxx' The Mysterious Girl singer and the former glamour model split in 2009 after four years of marriage, but have remained devoted parents to their children Junior and Princess. Peter shared his side of the story on Thursday, explaining: 'For sixteen years, I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. That ends today. 'The latest comments about my children's welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight. For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood. 'In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement. I have never made this public before, out of respect for my children.' 'In 2011 and 2015, publicly documented court cases found my ex-wife had made false claims. She was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise to me and my management. The same falsehoods are being repeated today. 'Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations I have yet to address. Those will now be dealt with in the coming months.' A spokesperson for Katie told Daily Mail: 'Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation. This was in the past and she doesn't feel the need to bring up tit for tat comments, but more importantly she's dealing with this the right way and it's now in her lawyers hands. Kate will no longer be gaslighted and bullied as she once was.' In the decades since she first rose to fame, Katie Price has enjoyed – and quite likely endured – a decidedly busy love life that has seen her walk down the aisle three times before heading to divorce court in equal measure. Here's a look at the trio with whom she exchanged 'I dos'... and 'I don'ts': PETER ANDRE (2005 - 2009) The nation got to watch love blossom between the pair when they starred alongside one another on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here back in 2004. The flying sparks soon became nuptials, with blushing bride Katie and her erstwhile pop hunk beau tying the knot at Highclere Castle (the grand Berkshire estate of Downton Abbey fame) in September 2005. Katie, who was already mother to son Harvey (born in 2002 following a romance with former footballer Dwight Yorke), soon started a family with her new husband. The couple welcomed son Junior in 2005, while daughter Princess followed in 2007. Creation between the pair also came artistically, with the release of reality programmes, a failed talk show and a foray into the music world. However, after four years of securing their position as the Ken and Barbie of reality TV and glossy magazine deals, the pair announced in 2009 that they were going their separate ways. ALEX REID (2010 - 2012) Katie soon switched her romantic allegiance from a onetime ab-bearing pop heartthrob to musclebound MMA fighter Alex Reid. The two met at Michelle Heaton's 30th birthday party at London's Cafe de Paris. But shortly after they got together, Katie dumped Alex on live TV, only for him to win her back and the pair go from strength to strength. Weeks after proudly cheering her man on to a win on the 2010 edition of Celebrity Big Brother (also featuring none other than her ex-boyfriend Dane Bowers), Katie jetted off to Las Vegas to tie the knot with her new partner in February 2010 after just seven months of dating – and nine months after divorcing Peter. Following their Sin City sojourn, the pair returned to their native UK, where they had a formal ceremony – which was filmed for a TV series. However, after just 11 months of marriage, the pair announced they were splitting and their divorce was finalised in March 2012. While Katie declared at the time that she married Alex 'too soon', she would later go on to reveal that a major factor in their split was his cross-dressing alter-ego Roxanne. KIERAN HAYLER (2013 - 2021) Showing herself to be a true woman of the times, Katie embarked on a romance with former stripper Kieran after the two met on the now-defunct Blackberry Messenger service in 2012. And just two months after altering the paths of their lives via those thumb-tapped fateful opening messages, the twosome would go on to exchange nuptials in the Caribbean. Kieran proposed to a thrilled Katie on Christmas Day 2012, and just three weeks later, the pair would be pronounced husband and wife in the idyllic shores of the Bahamas on January 16, 2013. They had their marriage blessed in Weston-super Mare, and in the months that followed, it appeared that Katie had finally found her happily ever after. They welcomed son Jett in August 2013, and daughter Bunny in August 2014. But Katie's world came crashing down in 2014, when she discovered that Kieran had cheated on her with her close friend of 20 years, Jane Pountney, and was enjoying a fling with another of her pals, Chrissy Thomas. After publicly lashing out at all parties involved (and naming her pet pigs after her friends-turned-foes), Katie appeared determined to make things work when she renewed her vows with Kieran in 2015. But alas, it would not turn out to be third time lucky for Katie, as the pair split in 2018 amid even more cheating allegations. Their 'amicable' divorce was finalised in early 2021.
