I miss playing in front of an enthusiastic crowd. I stopped DJing professionally in 2003, just before I got married. Most DJs have their own expertise when it comes to music. Tiesto is Trance. Deep Dish is Deephouse. Bennassi is Electro. Sasha is Progressive. Fatboy Slim is Breakbeat. Armand Van Helden is House. And the list goes on..

I have played these genres, and have patterned my sets to these great DJs in the past. But just like any other DJ or artist, you have to evolve and be uniquely different if you want to be known and respected in your chosen field. I think I had. I started playing new wave stuff, then progressed to Techno and Trance, and then House (and all it’s sub-genres), and finally ended my career playing Tribal and Electro. If that isn’t evolution, I don’t know what is. Sadly.. I never got famous hahaha! But I had my share of the spotlight, and in fact became a sought after DJ for major regional events in Cebu, Bacolod, Iloilo, Davao and Boracay (I once stayed in Bora for more than 1 month, playing every single night for 5k/3 hour set.. Do the math :D)

I DJ’ed not for the money, but for the love of the music. Ok ok.. sige na nga for the money na rin lol! I found peace of mind playing what I wanted, and being appreciated by a cool crowd. I remember “Limelight” days when Tribal Music was still new. No one knew what the hell I was playing, but being a DJ that interacts with a crowd, the moment I saw the smiles on their faces, I knew they where having a blast. I knew I was in for a looong crazy night!

I want to remember those wild parties, those untamed souls that danced to my beats, those ethnic tribal drums that dictated the mood of the night, those speaker-blasting basslines that haunted the discriminating ears..

Be with me in an imaginary club. Light a cigarette and grab a beer. Stay with me and….
