Santis is an electronic music producer and DJ who builds his sound at the crossroads of two core influences: trance, with its emotional and atmospheric melodies, and tech-house, driven by tight, infectious grooves. His goal is to create a bridge between these two genres, blending rhythmic intensity and melodic depth into a sound that is both personal and impactful.

Born in the Philippines and raised in Switzerland, Santis embodies a cultural duality that subtly shapes his creative direction. Now based between Geneva and Manila, he draws from these contrasting worlds to enrich his productions, DJ sets, and performances with diverse textures and perspectives.

Santis is known for his hybrid live format, where original productions and reinterpretations of tracks he admires meet in an evolving structure designed for the dancefloor. More than a technical showcase, his live performances are a way to explore and express his identity — creating a space where groove, emotion, and honesty converge in real time.

In parallel, he hosts Sound Island, a podcast series where each episode is named after a Philippine island. The show dives into the varied sonic landscapes of electronic music through mixes, interviews, and conversations about production, creativity, and the broader ecosystem of the scene.

With a direct and distinctive approach, Santis continues to shape an aesthetic where trance and tech-house don’t just meet — they merge.
