Filipino DJs You Should Know in 2026
Eight Filipino DJs and producers who are defining the sound of Philippine electronic music in 2026 — from global headliners to underground heroes.
The Philippine electronic music scene has never been more exciting — or more globally recognized. Here are eight Filipino artists who are defining the sound in 2026.
1. Rob Caudillo Genre: Deep House / Soulful House Based: Manila
Rob Caudillo is arguably the most consistently excellent DJ working in the Philippines. His ability to read a room — whether playing a small Poblacion bar or the main stage of a festival — is unmatched in the local scene.
In 2026, he's been playing internationally with regularity: Fabric in London, Concrete in Paris, and Tresor in Berlin. He carries Filipino warmth and musicality into rooms that usually skew cold and techno.

2. Manila Killa (Charles Combs) Genre: Future Bass / Electronic Pop Based: Manila / Los Angeles
Manila Killa made international headlines with his Coachella appearance and has since become one of the most recognizable Filipino names in global electronic music. His productions blend Filipino musical influences with polished international production quality.

3. Deeco Genre: Techno / House Based: Cebu
Deeco is the defining voice of Cebu's electronic scene. His sets move between driving techno and deep house with an ease that belies the difficulty of the transition. In 2026, he's increasingly playing internationally after a Resident Advisor feature in early 2025.
