Miguel Libre

“Bass-driven, underground house and techno” is the mantra MIGUEL LIBRE has embraced in this ever-changing world of music. This guiding principle has allowed Miguel to find his musical imprint and strengthen his love for unadulterated music. Hailing from Manila, Philippines, Miguel has embraced a wide variety of music genres as an enthusiast: from progressive metal to punk rock, and from acid jazz to liquid drum and bass. It was, however, only with the music from the likes of Miguel Migs, Kerri Chandler, and Joey Youngman that made house music the catalyst that fuels his passion in the early stages as a music purveyor. In the local electronic music industry, Miguel is one of the youngest electronic musicians to appear on music portals such as Beatport and be a listed artist on Resident Advisor. Miguel currently spearheads SUBVERSE at TIME in Manila, a monthly residency and movement comprised of young, idiosyncratic individuals united by the mantra, “bass-driven, underground house and techno”. Notable past appearances include: SHIFT at TIME in Manila (2014), Deeper Manila at TIME in Manila (2012 to 2013), Tagaytay Electronica Festival (2012). Miguel has been featured on radio shows such as PLIPHOUSE RADIO (on 107.9 U-Radio), Club Play 99.5, Tunnel FM, and Boogie Taipei Worldwide. As a producer, Miguel has released material on labels such as Deeper Manila, Digitalma (Alma Soul), and Reimei Music since 2011, and was selected as Artist & Repertoire manager for the 2012 Manila Electronic Dance Music Conference.
