Everything Electronic

About Me


INFORMAL! (The man behind silverfilter)
I live a simple but blessed life. I sleep when the sun rises and wake up in the afternoon. I get up and eat, watch a little tv, then make music til the sun rises again... of course I eat in between music making. I sometimes go out to watch movies or buy something at the mall (CD's!) but my life mainly revolves around music. I compose at home, I do gigs in the evening. My job is even about music! - I'm a music producer for TV and radio commercials. So, it's a good life. God is faithful and he's blessed me with so much to let me live a life like this :) I love music... jazz, rock, electronica, alternative, name it... uhmmm... except country. I sing a little, I play the guitar, the bass, keyboard, and my instrument of choice... the drums. Right now I'm more into electronic music so I work with computers, synthesizers, samplers, sequencers, drum machines, and effects...

FORMAL... (the silverfilter identity)
Manila, Philippines. This Producer was put on the map by his flavorful approach to any genre of electronica he puts his hands on. Known for his versatility and styles ranging from banging techno, to funky house, to aggressive drum and bass, to lounge and chillout, silverfilter is a man without limits. All these are brought out in the open through his live electronic sets, which are definitely an experience. Running his home indie label, Vanilla Crush Records, he produces and releases his own music done exclusively in his home studio, Switch. His music, made up of beat-driven patterns and catchy hooks, is best experienced on the dance floor where the booming basses, pulsating beats and the infectious vibe can easily be felt all over.
Meanwhile, he continues his song writing with more than 7 upcoming albums up his sleeve. Along with that, he produces other artists as well proving he can be in front, or even behind the scene in whatever music project he handles.
Silverfilter can claim an essential part in the rise of live dance music in the Philippines due to his hard-hitting dance sets, which leaves partygoers no choice but to move and groove. Fusing the live experience to the DJ vibe, every silverfilter set is sure to be the best of both worlds and has proven to entertain crowds from all over. Silverfilter’s live performances and his original tracks have already proven to be ear candies to floor-fillers, making him one of the most sought after electronic music producers in the industry.
