i always go out of my head and become the music...

 

   Because of his versatility & patience in and out of the decks, Ali Nepomuceno is heralded as one of Manila’s finest spin doctors. He has been conquering the respect and admiration of the Electronic music community through his DJing skills and taste for music. Born to a family where music played a vital part of everyday life, Ali Nepomuceno was put into music classes at an early age. He learned the basic fundamentals of the drums through his father and the melodies of the guitar from his brother, who fascinated Ali with Acid jazz. From collecting tapes of jazz bands and listening to them, playing and analyzing a friend’s DJ equipment, Ali started off towards the path of becoming a DJ. He started playing at a friend’s lounge and soon after got shots at playing in different bars through recommendations by friends and colleagues. In the long run, his maturity in music paid off and was rewarded with affiliations with different powerhouse DJ management groups (NBK/Bigfish Manila). He was also given a chance to play in various events, fashion shows and corporate parties. Now, he is having his regular stints at the country’s one and only underground club – Warehouse 135. He also plays for Driven Manila, spinning for the latter’s international and local events. This 2007, Ali has played in different club venues in major cities in the country and headliner gigs with international DJs and artists – Colette (OM Records), Steve Porter (Porterhouse, NYC), Shunji Moriwaki (8ball, NYC) & Steve Walker (Tao Club, Las Vegas). Ali Nepomuceno's live promotional dj mixes have reached other countries like the United States, China and more. Different among the other spin doctors, Ali's elevating and captivating long DJ sets are spontaneous and are not rehearsed at all. His versatility in all genres makes him unique unlike anyone else. From Dub to Techno, to Progressive and trance, Ali can surely manage to bring something out of the box - something you have never heard before. Aside from DJing, Ali’s also in music sound clipping for television commercials as well as promotion and events. Recently, Ali Nepomuceno has played alongside DJ Aldrin of Zouk, Asia's best DJ export. In 2007, Ali Nepomuceno co-formed Manila Underground with music aficionado Roldan Capito. Manila Underground is an organization that ventures deeper in the underground music scene. Ali's series of events showcases the young, the talented and upcoming DJs in collaboration with Driven Manila, Event Masters Corporation (EMC) and Musik Lokal. This 2008, Ali Nepomuceno plays for Warehouse 135's Makati Afterdark, alongside with his co-resident Martin Lugtu.
