Just like the archipelago he calls home, ThirstKid’s work is both uniquely individual and deeply interconnected—bound by music, an energy that moves like water or plasma. Inspired by the playful pulse of Budots, the innovation of Stateside pioneers, and the solid styles of immigrant movers, the youthful DJ is known for his emotional and intriguing approach to the dancefloor. Drawing from an eclectic mix of otherworldly disco, acid-tinged house, jazzy funk, and jungle, ThirstKid channels deep musical desires, inviting listeners into a boundless trip of music. An advocate for underrepresented voices, he volunteers with Manila Community Radio, helping to amplify artists from across the Philippines. ThirstKid also leads two hybrid label-platform initiatives: Sounds Nais, a Pinoy-focused music project supporting ecology-driven causes, and D’Touch Rekords, a personal venture showcasing his found records. The latter currently enjoys a residency at Bombvinos Bodega, a cute local natural wine bar. His mixes have aired in Bali, Hong Kong, and Seoul, while his original tracks have landed on labels like Transit and FuFu Records. Ever-curious and deeply appreciate, he embraces any opportunity to play—anywhere, with anyone—so long as the creative energy flows.
