DJ Marc Marasigan Exclusive Interview for EDMDroid Asia

1. Please tell us and our readers more about the nightlife in the Philippines and most of all in your hometown Manila right now in times of Covid.

Philippine nightlife continues to struggle in this pandemic and most venues are still not open for business, especially in Manila. I hope that this situation improves very soon so that our artists, club owners, event organizers and promoters are able to recover and rise again.

2. How long have you been DJing/Producing and what can we expect next from DJ Marc Marasigan?

I've been DJing professionally since 2008 (bedroom DJ since 1996) and it's been an amazing journey so far. I'm more focused on music production lately and expect more original releases and collaborations with other producers in the near future.

3. What has been your best and your worst gig experience so far. Be honest please, don't hold back.

I have a lot of "best" gigs that will always have a place in my heart: 7107 International Music Festival (2014) headlined by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Empire of the Sun and Kendrick Lamar, Balicinta Music Fest (2014) in Bali, Indonesia, Neverland x Raveolution (2016) where I met Galantis, Kura, Firebeatz and Dannic, Road to Ultra Philippines (2017) and the Zedd Club Tour (2018). Worst gig would probably be Waterval in Iligan City, Philippines where we were treated horribly by the event organizer. Never again.

6. With which intl. act would you love to collaborate and why?

I would love to collaborate with Gryffin and Don Diablo because their sound is so unique and I believe that they represent the new sound of electronic dance music.
