HipHop Beach Party

CEBU, Philippines - One may imagine going on a sun-kissed beach escape, where to enjoy cool and crisp sea air, as the sound of rolling waves fill one’s ears, while enjoying the afternoon and evening away with groovy beats and refreshing sips.

Ibiza Beach Club, in partnership with event organizer Mr. Ed Roberson, opens a new season with a beach spin-off party with guest DJs, bringing the best Hip Hop and RnB music. On  Tuesday, June 27, the event, dubbed as “Bay Area Take Over,” brings together celebrated DJs from San Francisco Bay Area, serving up a fantastic mix of danceable tunes and beats for everyone’s enjoyment.

Leading the line-up is DJ E-Rock, one of the most celebrated DJs in the United States; he is a staple in premiere night scenes and clubs in San Francisco and Las Vegas. For his part, DJ Romeo Reyes has toured the globe and performed in various countries such as Japan, Canada and Taiwan. Romeo is currently a resident DJ at the Marquee Nightclub in Las Vegas, ranked as one of the top three nightclubs in the world.

On the other hand, Mark West, a US-born DJ, has worked with Grammy-nominated production groups. In between his residencies, DJ Mark has been to various nightclubs and event venues around the world, specifically in Japan, Korea, Hawaii, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and Sacramento.

DJ Miles Medina is one of the fastest-growing producer-talents in the West Coast. He came into the production scene relatively unknown at the beginning of 2013 and finished strong with two extremely well-received releases, combining for over 500,000 plays on Soundcloud.

Meanwhile, Agent Smith has a following spanning outside of Hollywood, as he has successfully toured the East Coast, Dominican Republic, Canada and Australia. He is now a fixture not only in America but also in Asia, having held residencies in Shanghai, Tokyo, Taipei, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taichung, Kuala Lumpur, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Rounding up the list is Cebu’s own DJ Short. The party goes on from 4 until 11 p.m.  For tickets and table reservations, one may contact Mövenpick Hotel Mactan Island Cebu at 492 7777. (FREEMAN)
