DJ, turntablist and music producer Adri Malaki has been a purveyor of music and events for over 10 years from early projects and residencies in Switzerland to  Berlin, Hong-Kong, Manila and Palawan where he is now based.


Director and founder of Liberty Grounds events, owner of Before & After Nightclub and Artaplaya, SEA representative of Miniclic Records, Adri Juggles between his career as artist and various other ventures.


With a long list of festivals and other music and art related events under his belt, he has made a considerable impact on the Palawan and Philippines event scene.


Adri is a versatile Dj and has proven his crowd reading skill throughout his career, from underground festivals and venues in Europe to commercial events and venues in Asia. With a preference for underground House and Techno, he still enjoys, every now and then, playing eclectic selections of Hip Hop, Reggae/Dub, Drum & Bass and more. Groove remains a key element in his DJ or live sets, a few notable dancefloor staples from the likes of some of his favorite artists like Craig Richards, RobertHood, Minor Science, Ricardo Villalobos, Skee Mask and Simian Mobile Disco to name a few. 


As a music producer Adri has since released tracks on record labels such as Xtended Records (Miami), Miniclic (Paris/Switzerland), Asia Music (Philippines), Sound Nais (Philippines) and Hermine Records (France), tracks heavily influenced by his experiences in Berlin as well as the UK electro and breakbeat scene, ranging from micro/minimal to leftfield and techno with detours into more eclectic genres. His productions, like his sets are mostly rooted in groovy urban rhythms and sounds of the 90's "Golden Era", electro and disco. 


Shared bills with: Big Mountain, Deliquent Habits, DJ Premier, Kenny Glasgow, Endian, Rico Loop, Red Robin Tarsius, Boston Bun, Jabber-Wocky, Sniper, Greem (C2C) and Kartell to name a few.

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.

She has also performed at various festivals, including Shi Fu Miz, Equation and Sunda.
