Our Mission
The Philippines Has Always Had a World-Class Music Scene
When NOX MANILA launched in 2014, the goal was simple: show the world what was happening in Manila's clubs. The underground was thriving — incredible DJs, dedicated communities, extraordinary venues — but none of it was being documented.
Today, we cover events across the entire archipelago: from the underground basements of Poblacion to the open-air festival grounds of Cebu. We document Filipino artists, profile international guests, publish long-form editorial, and broadcast the sounds that define Philippine club culture.
