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, he has produced and released two albums 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.
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.

Juno Oebanda has helped shape Manila’s musical landscape, in more ways than one. Be it DJ, director or musician, he wears each hat with finesse and has made a respected name for himself in the live event and pro DJ industries.
He knows the live event industry intimately, having literally worked his way up through the ranks. He paid his dues as a studio recording engineer and an A&R person for a major record label CBS, and then moved into the live events scene. He began at the very bottom, from utility to production assistant, to audio spinner, to technical direction, and finally to overall direction of events.
His technical expertise, innate musicianship and creative perfectionism set him apart, and by the time fate set him on the path to being a pro DJ, he was already well-known as a director.
Pioneered and perfected the live-DJ-in-a-fine-dining setting, and became the toast of Manila's crème de la crème. Juno and his partners quickly built a reputation for being a versatile trio of DJs who can create an eclectic mix of electronic music influenced by the sounds of many musical genres.
Unconfined by any particular tempo or vibe, they assimilated ideas found in jazz, bossa, latin, soul, funk, and even classical music as easily as they did those found in house, drum-and-bass, and electronica. Varied as these ingredients were, the result was an easy, sophisticated vibe that frees the mind and soothes the soul, and as the name "couchLab" connotes, they have never been afraid to experiment to find the best sound for every situation, audience, or setting.
