    There needs to be a Netflix show on this scene started. I’m from Seattle and many of our local DJ’s are Filipino. I’m sure this roots back to this in some way.

    Non filipino here but grew up and hanged around filipino's, Black's and Latinos. As far as I'm concerned Filipinos created the house party, garage party, back yard party everyweekend at someone's home who's folks were out of town or just hella cool and down wid it . Filipino girls were super-duper hot their little dance groups dancing against each other at the house parties from Fairfield to San Jose rocking, popping and swagging like a rock star . Slowly other non filipino's like Latinos and Black's started having house parties but not never the scale of filipino's period they rocked !

    I wish this was so much longer. I was in that scene. Our group was on several Imagine Flyers and we still do weddings and private parties. Majestical Productions from 1985-Present...

      you probably dont give a shit but if you're bored like me during the covid times you can stream all of the latest series on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my brother for the last few months :)

    if anyone ever wonders why the Bay Area, especially Daly City bred so many DJs that just happen to be Filipino....this video is the answer right here!

    Hey I remember Spintronix most of those DJ’s were copying my style.. The Masters Of The Beats MOB crew started in 1982.. I used to see Apollo at all my gigs asking if he could mix on my turntables...For the recorded we never hide the vinyl ...MExicans started the DJ movement in Daly City not the the Philippinos..

      Hmm its like how Cesar Chavez became famous for leading the United Farmers Union movement in the 60's, but it was Larry Itliong and other Filipino farmers from Delano, Ca. that had already done the hard work of shedding light to the issue.

    • @djscratchdog
      @djscratchdog Рік тому

      they shredde light on the issue in one city but Chavez shredded light on all of California and had the people back him up@@marcusaurelius-s1w
