Hey now, this is what dreams are made of.

Dignos, one of the founders of Bliss club night. A co-organizer and a resident DJ of queer techno party in Manila, Elephant.

She swiftly earned the mantle of Manila’s techno queen when she first emerged on the scene, but never one to conform, her sets transcend the label. Running the gamut from dark dance tracks to old-skool to 90’s rave sounds, her music will refuse to release you from the dancefloor.

A proud member of the queer community who has trailblazed the underground community for years. 

As one of the organizers of Bliss, she helps shape the future of club music. Manila is lucky to have Dignos take the reins and push the envelope.

Some of the gigs she played in featured Mr. Ho, Minna-no-kimochi, Fantastic Man, He Valencia, Ketia and Jonathan Kusuma. She has also performed at various festivals, including Shi Fu Miz, Equation and Sunda. As well as with collectives such as Eastern Margins, MÖTH Agency and on the renowned music label based in Berlin, Transatlantic.
