Hey folk. As some of you may know, I'm originally from the Philippines.

The Philippines has had some hard times in the last few weeks, due to the devastation of Typhoon Ketsana/ Ondoy. It hit hard throughout Manila, my birthplace, and has affected people not only my hometown of Cainta, but my village Kasibulan.

This month, I'm bringing along a box to wherever I DJ (see below for dates), and I hope people help me out with raising donations to help Kasibulan rebuild after a particularly nasty Typhoon.

I remember being evacuated twice, growing up as a kid in Kasibulan, and it being particularly difficult for the whole village to get back into form. I realise how lucky I am now, and want to pass on that good fortune to some folk who truly need it.

So, if you see me out and about behind turntables in the coming month, check the box on the bar and help out a little Kasibulan would truly appreciate it!

For general donations, I recommend hitting up Red Cross:
