Project Horizon is Bringing International EDM Fests Back to Manila

Do you miss the glory days of EDM in the Philippines? Project Horizon is bringing electronic music festivals back to the archipelago, beginning with a one-day mini event in BGC on May 10, 2024, featuring two rising international DJs: Retrovision from France and Jeonghyeon from Korea.

Project Horizon is the first standalone international EDM festival to take place in the Metro in nearly two years, with a lineup that includes both local artists and worldwide up-and-comers like:

Retrovision (France) is a well-known producer and DJ who founded the More Bass, More Good record label. He has worked with artists like Don Diablo and Jonas Blue and has performed at Tomorrowland Belgium.

Jeonghyeon (South Korea) is Korea’s number one rising EDM producer/DJ, well known for his viral Bass House/Future Bounce remixes of hit songs such as One Direction’s One Thing and Taylor Swift’s Anti-Hero.

Ron Poe (Philippines) is a well-known DJ who has represented the Philippines in clubs and festivals throughout Asia.

Siangyoo (Philippines) is a TikTok expert who specializes in mash-ups of various genres.

Eko (Singapore) – Singapore’s Speed House Prince; previously performed at It’s the Ship and Ultra Singapore.

Project Horizon, founded by a group of Gen Z friends who grew up listening to electronic music and attending raves, seeks to be a grassroots organization dedicated to resurrecting the Philippine EDM culture through quarterly events featuring both local and international bands. The ultimate objective of the organization is to organize a massive celebration comparable to the Electric Daisy Carnival and Ultra Music Festival in the Philippines.

“EDM and raves were a big part of our lives as teenagers and young adults, and we thought it’d suck if the next generation wouldn’t be able to experience it – so we decided to bring it back ourselves,” says Jigo Vilar, head of marketing for Project Horizon. “We hope that this is just the start of something great, and that others follow suit and help grow the community. Because EDM is just that beautiful.” 

Project Horizon: Episode 1 will take place on May 10, 2024, at McKinley Whisky Park in Bonifacio Global City, Philippines. Tickets are available for PHP1,500 on projecthorizon.helixpay.ph, which includes two complimentary refreshments; VIP tables cost PHP15,000.
