Closeup brings back summer in November

MANILA, Philippines - On Nov.  9, Closeup is set to throw the freshest beach party in the city with non-stop music by local favorites and international artists.  Dubbed as “Closeup Forever Summer”, the party will have pools and various water elements, giving off that summer beach vibe — so people, prepare to get wet.

“Summer has always been the ultimate time to be young, let loose, and get close.  So we thought that everybody should have another one.  We don’t care if it’s November, for us it’ll always be forever summer,” says Closeup brand manager Gem Laforteza.

“Closeup Forever Summer” will be headlined by Foxes, the voice behind this year’s EDM youth anthem, Clarity.  Also taking the stage is one of the freshest female DJ duos internationally, Rebecca & Fiona, as well as local DJs Ace Ramos and Mars Miranda. 

Louisa Rose Allen, more popularly known as Foxes, is known for her vocal work on Zedd’s hit EDM single Clarity.  The song quickly became this year’s global summer anthem having been remixed by the industry’s cream of the crop DJs, played in clubs and music festivals all around the world.  Foxes’ other hit songs Youth, Warrior and White Houses garnered her a coveted spot on this year’s iTunes New Artist to Look Forward To.  With Foxes up on stage you will definitely feel like it’s going to be forever summer.

Rebecca & Fiona are a Grammy-winning female duo from Sweden — beating out Avicii and Swedish House Mafia for a Swedish Grammy in 2011.  Known to drive crowds wild with their voice, and mixing, the duo has frequented the hottest summer parties in the world, most notably the Marquee Day Club in Las Vegas and Ibiza’s hottest clubs.
