“Be a homie & let us know what you think”

A beat can cross oceans faster than any plane ticket—this showcase proves it. We’re celebrating Filipino producers from Manila to Sacramento with a curated trip through sample alchemy, razor-sharp cuts, and pulse-raising drum and bass. The goal is simple: connect you with artists worth following and give you a map to explore their catalogs, crews, and scenes.

We open with a Filipino alchemist from Florida named Soy or Soyisreal then we feature a track with atmosphere and intent—Free The Robots sets a cinematic frame before HeruHeruHeru reminds us not to overthink a great loop. Elijah B raises the stakes with head-twisting arrangements, then Roboplex teams with Hendrik to merge live visuals culture with studio craft. KiNG HYSTERiA, Imaginary Other, Chewy, and IF1 light up the cipher, while D-Styles demonstrates why scratching remains composition, percussion, and storytelling all at once. The energy pivots into TKDPLL’s drum and bass, a lane resonating deeply across Filipino circles, and lands on LUSTBASS and Filipino 1990 where feel meets message.

From there, Six The NorthStar tightens the groove, Skeematic explores meditative texture, and 4B5ynth out of Marikina turns off-kilter rhythm into a hypnotic flip. Higher Ground’s The PHARM brings collective firepower, Dpsht and Tenkousei.’s cool the room with downtempo warmth, and Skeptics and Ize pull dancers to the front with summer color and clever edits. We close with Loopin_iii’s high-velocity DnB, then shout Wave Groove and tease that this is only part one of the all-Filipino spotlight.

If something moves you, follow the links, grab a tee, buy a coffee, or send us a text directly from the description—we read every messag

Uh oh, matter of fact, we going to Marikina, Philippines. Yo, the name of this joint is called Arrhythmia. From the I don't know what I'm what am I doing by four B synth. I hope I'm saying that right, man. Four B, five, S. No. Y and Top. This is a dope. This is a dope flip, yo. Man. Wow. All right, man. We're gonna listen to this voices we deliver from the farmer's guide to higher ground by the farm. Just listen to the words, man. Enjoy this, yo. This is dope. Super dope group, yo.

SPEAKER_08:

Yo, never gave a fuck of what they thinkin' in me. Cause yo, the farmer with the boy, you killin suckers for free. And I mean, do a lot of moves, I'm also then disapproved. But with the forces we deliver, we ask you to improve. Yo, never gave a fuck of what they thinkin' in me. Cause yo, the farmer with the boy, you're killing suckers for free. And I mean, do a lot of moves, and most of them disapprove. But with the forces we deliver, we ask you to approve.

SPEAKER_09:

Yo, I see the source emanating from a distant energy. Nowhere to be found around the sights and sounds of enemies. Hidden in the mix is our allies. Yet the storm approaches swiftly. Now they're paralyzed. Suddenly they tend to be curiously absent when they're furiously adamant. The loyalty is stronger than the rest. It's all off a sad plastic size. Communication happens on a daily basis. Empty words and phrases leave a thick skin and faceless. There's no more running from reality. In fact, it's really best that we commence with sensing an attack and then preempting it with forces undiscovered by the lesser fact. Far beyond the rhyme, reason and the vision that they lack. Ha, it's quite a tragedy. Through the years, it all remains a parody. But we never really think a plan to be part of the solution. Since the effort that we use to try and change the minds, leaves behind impressions on the way that I never gave a fuck what they think it's a mean.

SPEAKER_08:

Yo, the farmer with the part killing sucks for free. And I'm into a lot of moves. I'm also then disapproved. But with the forces we deliver, we ask you to improve. Seen the many ways, they use the poison is past to the mind. Confuse you with a diamond light. Get blinded if you're too weak, too frail for the shine. Skin getting pale from the critical mind. Dependent like an umbilical mind. An illusion is competitive state. No solution to cut your face or take a plate to conversate. What you lack is a fact, or it's too verbal attacks, choose too exposed by acts. Moral and honor rap side. Never hinder a man to find a trail across. As we are faded by the pain of loss, so we chose to drift across unfamiliar walls. Who's next in line to get tossed to test the competitive boss? Yeah, I chose to get away from the devil. The scheme's a banner. Let them do what they can. Great walls on a new way. But a few craving dependent to play the fool's game. New day in the dawn. Let's make these crocodiles pay. Yo, never gave a fuck of what they think of me. Yo, the farmer with the board killin' suckers for free. And I'm me doing a lot of moves.

SPEAKER_15:

Step back and step black to the tracks, that enhanced wagons and pack. The caliber factor with a fact. The main display, whatever matters for play. Remain the black and white with adventurous for the color for day. Mates in place with a way to dispose of the poison sway. Pigs to the page, scriptures, which is visibly opaque up pace. Look up side of shape. Obviously, you see the picture of mixture with reads, but different choose to drink. Kill your next administer. Particular times, people would just listen to what's real and dime. It's just among the other words is written. You've been living in the material wall, them counting seconds of the lessons. And the truth to the curse. And the farmers shine bright. Make you live your life white. Cage to walk with jigs. Mike rubber like Mike Tyson. The mic placed in the mic stand with a light thought of a mind. Which in the middle will ever to pedal when I would consider the members the whites.

SPEAKER_08:

Never gave a fuck of what they think of me. Yo, the farmer with the boy, you're killing sucks for free. And I mean, do a lot of moves, and most of them disapprove.

SPEAKER_12:

But with the forces we deliver, we ask you to know it won't be long before my float within your ground. So rocket steadily, don't need the new shints in the crowd. I'ma slide how I'm living earthbound. Persisting through the night, guided by these lamps to release the true sound. More styles from old piles, but new tiles come meanwhile. The loop flies soon try to reach high on these skies. My formal thought to ease, breathe heavily through a breeze. Allowing myself to stimulate speech from magical trees. Simple as it seems, delegate like a sea. Composing these arrangements to witness energy. Yes, the force of the light brings course for the right. Consumed by the night for endless tales from the might. No might, no might, no might.

SPEAKER_02:

Man, they remind me of the Fujies. Oh my gosh, this man. Super doof. The farm. Shout out to y'all, man. Anu na. Alright, we're going back to Manila. Yeah. This is by Dipshit. D P S H T.
