by PB Hermoso Behind every great artist is a set of quirks. May it be two exact same doll sets of The Beatles or a collection of remarkable pieces of art from various countries, Pam Celeridad has painted an enthralling perspective beyond canvas. As every painting itself is a compilation of ideas, this experimental painter […]
by Isabel Matias It is without doubt that when it comes to parties, Scout Magazine does it right. Scout Magazine knows their audience well and caters to what they want. As Scout says, their publication is for the youth and by the youth, so who better to organize a party for millennials than millennials themselves? […]
by Alicia Florentino There are four steps to help one improve herself or himself. First. Be passionate about different things. It can be music, photography, or coffee. Show your enthusiasm through the things you love and are fond of. Be proud of that fondness, and of course, be proud of those things you are fond […]
by Isabella Argosino Once again, the entire city of Manila will be ignited with the sounds and beats of the annual Fête de la Musique festival. But this time, the Paris-originated celebration will be spread out into two weekends – June 18 and June 23. What started out as a small cultural commemoration in France […]
by George Evan Dungca On April 30th, Satchmi will be holding their annual Vinyl Day at the UP Town Center. And on that day, when the old souls of Manila meet with the rising acts of the local music scene, you will fall in love. Here’s how: You’ll be rummaging through one of the bins […]
by PB Hermoso Firsts, no matter how spectacular or odd, are never easy to forget. In a pile of concert setlists, worn out sleeves, and restringed guitars lies Diego Castillo. He’s either banging his head to Sandwich, grooving to the beat of The Diegos, or constructing the next best burger at Sweet Ecstasy. Behind a […]
by MV Isip Ah, Valentine’s: the most polarizing holiday we continue to celebrate. Torn between bitter quotes and relationship goals, it’s less of a day of love than it is a day of feelings. Wherever you lie on the spectrum of Feb fourteen feels, Satchmi’s got you covered. The second annual #FEELS event happened last […]
by Isabella Argosino Let’s face it, gluten-free is a commercialized lie. For Fitriya Hartono, food should be embraced – in all its sugar-rich, slightly sinful, and fattening glory. So is her story behind the name of The Fattery: an honest-to-goodness baked goods store that is in the business of making people, well, fat. “We’re simply […]
by Isabella Argosino Inspired by the thirst to travel and see the globe, The Lost Nomad proves you can get down and dirty without sacrificing style. Built for, well, the modern day nomad, these quality backpacks are the marriage of form and function. But for Ayla Gomez and Paolo Sarmiento, it’s more than just a […]
by Isabella Argosino It might seem like the ultimate dream job: Getting paid to be funny. But for Joel Balbuena, comedy is so much more than just reciting lines from a joke book or having someone to poke fun at. Having performed last month during Satchmi’s Anniversary Party, Balbuena has shown us a little bit […]
by Nanie de Castro The feeling of reckless abandon, as you lose yourself to the riffs and rhythms of your favorite song, brought to life by the band you’re watching live for the very first time—it’s distinct, exhilarating, and unparalleled, and for most, can only be experienced after flying a thousand miles out of the […]
by Isabella D. Argosino We all have our special mecca. For a select demographic, all they have to do is drop a needle and it’s enough to take them home. If that’s a bit too romanticized for you, then clearly you don’t speak the same language as the world’s record collectors – mortals doomed to […]
by Nanie de Castro Song and dance combined is usually associated with happiness and merriment: drunk on pulsating beats and youth, in the arms of a familiar melody, at the brink of good news. Such is not the case for Where the Light Settles. The short film, a triptych of sorts, is an melancholic mix […]
by Fiel Estrella There have been many incarnations of Jenny Lewis within her lifetime: an actress at age nine, vocalist of indie-rock darlings Rilo Kiley at age twenty-two, an artist in her own right eight years later, one-half of a duo with longtime boyfriend Jonathan Rice, and now a rainbow suit-wearing troubadette who sings of […]
by Isabella D. Argosino Once upon a time, it was the most orthodox thing in the world to dart straight to the record store after a school day to ogle the fresh releases, then carefully examine the smooth lines and spaces embossed on a delicate 45. Young love and butterflies had nothing on this one-of-a-kind […]
As early as 7 pm, the crowds were set to kick off the last leg of the Fresh Filter tour and take over the U-street of Cubao Expo. Fresh Filter curator Russ Davis hosted the stream of acts once more along with fellow Jam 88.3 DJ Lambert Cruz. True to the event’s Grand Finale title, […]
Just like vinyl, film cameras have also been making a strong come back into our community, and in keeping up with our love for everything antique, old, and nostalgic, we have got some pretty rare finds at the Satchmi Store. Here’s the lowdown on what’s available and their specs. If you aren’t that familiar with […]
It has been two years of sharing themed playlists, and thoughts on the ebb and flow of homegrown music. In celebration of their sophomore year, online music publication Vandals On The Wall, along with Gabi Na Naman Productions and Revolver Productions, threw a twofold bash filled with live music acts, fun activities, and great giveaways. […]

Weaving together vintage, Wild West influences and contemporary sophistication, Charles & Keith crafts silhouettes and structured pieces in congruent to the character of the Motorino. This is why Charles & Keith fused our sleek, compact Motorinos into the […]
In the near-finale leg of Fresh Filter live shows, the white walls of A-Space bled red, blue and yellow. Once again, in collaboration with Jam 88.3, we invited artists from the Fresh Filter line-up to play their material on stage. In commemoration of Independence Day, we continue to exhibit the multitude of talent and passion […]
