How Daly City's Filipino Mobile DJ Scene Changed Hip Hop Forever | KQED Arts

- Apollo Novicio, Ken Anolin and Dino Rivera weren't trying to change the world. Growing up in Daly City in the 1980s, they just wanted to rock parties for their friends, families and fellow Filipinos. Hauling mobile DJ setups from houses to garages to church auditoriums, the two were part of a booming scene of DJ crews and dancers who created their own subculture in a mostly forgotten corner of the Bay Area while grandma cooked the rice and adobo.
Fast-forward to the present day, and the turntable innovations of people like DJ Qbert, Mix Master Mike and others who sprung from Daly City's mobile DJ scene are felt everywhere in hip hop and beyond - whether in pure technical scratch wizardry, the off-kilter production styles of J. Dilla and Madlib, or the prominence of the turntable as an individual instrument. Inspired by Oliver Wang's essential history "Legions of Boom: Filipino American Mobile DJ Crews in the Bay Area," KQED recently caught up with Novicio, Anolin and Rivera for a look into the roots of their musical revolution.

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.
THIS makes me so PROUD of where I came from! DC born and raised and NEVER regretted it. -g
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!
Masters Of Beats where the first DJs in. Daly City we were Mexicans not Filipino
anyways, both people are still brothers in arms regardless of skin color or race, btw Filipinos were also a part of Spain just like Mexico.@@djscratchdog

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.
they shredde light on the issue in one city but Chavez shredded light on all of California and had the people back him up@@user-xj2jf3ng4q
@@user-xj2jf3ng4q Same thing with the Zoot Suits lol Filipino farmers have their suits be dapper and these farmers start jacking the Manongs style.
LOL remember Battle of the tribes UCLA and cal state Fullerton back the day
