Perfectly Strange: Recent Episodes
Deej Diaz
Live recording of my set last June 5, 2026 at Monarch Manila for Antidote featuring global pop, pop edits, baile funk, jersey club and trance remixes.
Opening set for Lip Service - Some Like It Hot held at Apotheka (Makati) last April 18, 2026
New session recorded on February 6, 2026. Less push, more pull — just riding the groove and letting the rhythm decide where the night goes.
A new house session recorded tonight. Funkier, groovier and driven by flow rather than force. Letting rhythm lead, mood guide and feeling do the talking. 🪩✨
My first set recording this year: a house journey built with patience and intention, a path through rhythm, vibe and emotion.
Here’s Part 2 of my 2025 Year-End mix, Bakunawa, the ancient serpent of eclipse and renewal. This set marks the moment of crossing: 2025 devoured, 2026 emerging. Not destruction, but transformation. A ritual for release, movement and stepping into what comes next.
Here’s Part 1 of my 2025 Year-End mix, an all-women mixed-genre set that i have not done in over a year after focusing primarily on house and techno. This return is guided by Diwata, the mythical female spirit representing power, intuition, nature and divine feminine energy. This mix is a tribute to women as creators, muses and forces of movement, fluid across genres and unapologetic in presence.
The world shifts and with it rises Lakapati, the fluid deity of life and becoming. Neither man nor woman, neither fixed nor defined, Lakapati moves through form and feeling, reminding us that strength can be soft and beauty can be boundless. This house set is inspired by Lakapati, a tribute to bodies that evolve, identities that defy gravity and stories that continue even when the world tries to silence them.In observance of World AIDS Day, we honor every journey, each one shaping the pulse of HIV awareness.The album cover draws from the Red Whistle and Headshot Clinic’s WAD2025 campaign - AMORPHOUS - echoing a truth we all carry: we are fluid, ever-changing and never less whole.
Sharing my set from my gig last November 14, 2025 at Come Get Your Honey in Stardust Lounge (Makati, PH)
The night awakens, and with it, Mayari, the goddess of the moon, beauty, and battle. She rises under dim lights and disco hues, guiding the lost and the luminous through rhythm and reflection. This funky, vocal, disco and tech house set is inspired by Mayari, a tribute to the night’s charm, to the beats that heal when the world quiets down, and to the energy that connects us under one pulse.This also marks my official comeback as Balatik, the storyteller reborn under Manila’s lights.Catch me at ETA Music Festival’s KLN Walled City on October 24 (2PM–6PM) and October 26 (6PM–10PM) at The Gray Space (Zhongshan District) as the story continues and the moon takes her turn to shine.Find yourself in the stars and let the rhythm guide you 🎆
The sun rises, and with it, Apolaki (God of Sun) ignites the first beat: bold, fierce, unstoppable. Light and warmth fill the world as rhythms of house music move through the air, carrying energy and joy.Today, on my birthday, I celebrate not just a new year of life, but a new chapter as a DJ. This house set marks my return to my roots, the sound that started it all for me back in 2008, and the vibe that truly feels like me. I hope this year brings blessings, growth, and good fortune.Find yourself in the stars and let the rhythm guide you 🎆
Working on a series of recorded live sets true to my identity as Balatik, blending house and techno with the spirit of Philippine folklore and mythology. The journey begins with Bathala.Before all things, there was only darkness. Then Bathala struck the first beat, and light, sky, and life began to move until the rhythm would one day call it all back into silence.This set opens deep and hypnotic, like the first breath of creation. It builds with tribal energy as Bathala shapes the world, then ends in explosive chaos before fading back into the void.Find yourself in the stars and let the rhythm guide you 🎆
