One of the names on everyone’s lips right now is that of Samantha Nicole. The Cubao native has been playing at all the top electronic music establishments, from TIME and Black Market, to being part of the UNKNWN series and tearing up Area 51 in Boracay, she is definitely one of the names to watch in the near future and an embodiment of the growing house and techno scene in Manila.

Her sound flows between house, techno and also dips into electro, indie and disco flavours, but one key trait is what makes you recognise Samantha Nicole is on the decks - it’s jacking. No matter what track she is playing the thumping kick drum keeps all the dancers moving.

We are more than excited to have her continue doing this regularly as a resident DJ for XX XX. For now, we asked a bit about her roots and had her deliver an exclusive mix. Enjoy.
