There are some DJs that suck, there are those that are fun, and then there are those that have the…read morerare ability to catch everyone's attention from the moment that they start spinning those discs. And that's exactly the type of DJ that Benjo Marquez is. I was mesmerized from the first moment that I had heard him spin at an event as I was invited by some friends to church to come out and hang with them. Since then I've had quite a number of wonderful opportunities to hear him play and I'm left on a high each time. Music truly has the power to transcend space and time. Perfect for a wedding or a party with friends. Either way, DJ Benjo can come up with the perfect mix.

Chuck Gacuma was a very polite and well-dressed performer who sang some of my favorite hits when I…read morewas there at a food tasting event in Pasay. With his pearly voice, he covered songs by Michael Buble, Frank Sinatra, and a few other standard and classic ballads that really made my day. I like what I heard and would gladly recommend this coordinator/performer/host and any crew or team he has for your event, be it a birthday party, debut, or even a wedding. As such, when a ceremony calls for formality and a tone that is set to the simple clinking of wine glasses next to older, gentle songs from an era that comes known for smooth and gentle ballads, you can't really go wrong with him (and I suppose that my old soul tendencies are showing again, but I'm not ashamed).

I have so much respect for this woman! She's a jack of all trades. She does it all. I've witnessed…read moreher host corporate events, friends' parties, and I've also had the privilege of watching her perform for crowds. This woman can saaaaaaaaaaaang. Not sing, saaaang. Seriously! If you're in need of a performer and/or host for your next party, Abby is it! She's quite the sweetheart -- from the few times I've interacted with her it was quite obvious -- and quite possibly my favorite thing about her is her courage and bravery. She's also an Alopecia Awareness ambassador. Beauty inside and out! That's rare these days.

Innovation Black is another big event organized by Bigfish Manila/International. Bigfish is the…read morepioneer group that organized a lot of events, raves, and parties in the past. They have made these events with what is now known as EDM aka Electronic Dance Music in mind. Now, a lot of EDM fans are always excited to go to the next rave or festival. Innovation Black is one of these anticipated events of the year. Immediately following Innovation White, Innovation Black happens a month or two after. It has the same great music and great stage or set design too! Bigfish always goes all out on all their events so you would definitely expect this to be as good or even better than the first! Unlike the first one, here people are expected to wear black! It's as cool as the effect of wearing white in Innovation White. It's awesome to see a lot of people come together with the same cause - to have an awesome night! I've always had fun in all the Innovation Black events I've been to! Get ready for this year!

I first heard this guy spin at Il Ponticello, if I'm not mistaken. He did a fantastic,…read moreunforgettable job and immediately I was hooked. I knew that I was in the presence of talent and taste that money or even training can't buy. You have to be born with a good ear in order to be a DJ that people respond to and actually would pay to listen to. As the maid of honor for my cousin's wedding, I suggested hiring Joey as the DJ for the afterparty post-reception and he didn't disappoint in the least. Highly recommended.

Looking for a way to bring something new to a birthday party, a corporate event, or an overdue…read morereunion with high school friends? Look no further. This guy is one of the most talented performers that I've witnessed in a long time. Laserman showcases state-of-the-art methods in captivating his audience; making use of methods such as technology, science and music. The result is absolute sorcery indeed. It's plain to see upon first glance that this guy has been doing what he does for a long time and he could do this stuff in his sleep. Great job, JB. I look forward to hiring or seeing you perform again soon!

Bigfish is the pioneer group who started the EDM craze and rave parties around the Metro. They have…read moreconducted a lot of great events, raves, and parties throughout the years. They are very known for it. Bigfish is a very big name in the industry and reputation is just getting better and better. Towards the middle of the year, they organize one of the biggest events or raves. It's the first of the upcoming events they'll be organizing till the end of the year. This is called Innovation White. Every year, this is one of the expected big parties by Bigfish Manila. The cool thing is that they encourage everyone who's attending to wear white and true enough, most of the people really do. When you go to the venue (which is usually in World Trade Center), the place is filled with black lights so everyone wearing white glows! It's really cool seeing it and being there. The energy of the people is just really amazing and the music is really great! If you're a fan of the genres, I would assure you that you'd have a blast! The venue is decorated really well too. Every time I go, I just always have the best time with my friends!

DJ Ace is king. In any conversation about famous Filipino DJs, Ace Ramos is almost always going to…read morebe in that conversation. That's why he's almost certifiably gained the title of being the best in the business when it comes to local spinning. It's not only because he's been at the top of his game for so long (he has) but because he has a brilliant ability to get the crowd going insane. And by insane, I mean INSANE. Whether it's at his club gigs, at parties, at festivals, or wherever else, Ace just manages to amaze every time. Ace knows his crowd, and knows, without hesitation, what mixes and what kinds of songs will almost definitely get them going. To give you a backdrop, he was closing at a music fest I attended a few months back. It was a college event, so mostly a young crowd from 18 to 22. He started of his set normally enough: Garrix, Axwell. Diplo, etc. Then, he just absolutely stunned me and the crowd when he played a deep prog house remix of How to Save A Life by The Fray. A song about a teenager with depression? How could that possibly get a crowd going? The crowd when ballistic. Not only was the transition fucking spot on and the drop brilliant, but everyone was singing along like hell since this was something everyone listened to like 8 years ago. It was a perfect case of knowing who he was playing for. DJ Ace is masterclass, and if you wanna hear real good spinning in Manila, check out one of his shows.
