Meet our dance floor commanders that will make sure it'll be a scorching summer night! 🕶️🪩

🌞 MICO enters the scene with intent: to take control of the dance floor the same way it once held him. Shaped by nights spent watching some of the city’s finest DJs, he now steps behind the decks with instinct over formula. 

🌊 Subicbae’s sound is built for movement. His sets are vibrant, high-energy experiences where the crowd can let loose and feel sexy. He has played local parties like Unknwn and Church, delivering sets where people can groove, feel free, and connect.

🍉 baby ikea is the DJ moniker of Andi Osmeña. His shapeshifting sound favors liquid basslines and sticky, syncopated rhythms — blending old skool and nu skool sensibilities while also leaving room for welcome tangents and moments of emotional release.

👙 With every appearance, EDGY continues to push boundaries, connecting underground sounds to broader audiences. Driven by community and the pulse of late nights, she stands at the center of a new era of Manila club culture that’s always bold and experimental.

Are you ready to dance to their sets and make it wet and fun for one night?
