balatik 011 (lakapati) 04.12.2025 1:59:31

The world shifts and with it rises Lakapati, the fluid deity of life and becoming.

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 s...

The sun rises, and with it, Apolaki (God of Sun) ignites the first beat: bold, fierce, unstoppable.

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.

This set opens deep and hypnotic...
