PRESS RELEASE Elian and Ines proudly announce their latest passion project: MUSIC AND WINE presents Strictly Jazz, a monthly event held at the swanky new jazz bar Top of the Alpha by Louie Y. The launch party is scheduled for Friday November 23rd at 9pm. Elian Habayeb and Ines Cabarrus-Habayeb aren't new to the scene. They've been doing this for quite a while now. Just 10 years ago, MUSIC AND WINE was a radio show, a weekly party, and a newspaper column that the couple produced and authored. And, although the Saturday event at the Mandarin Oriental's "Martinis" bar and the column in the Manila Standard Today ceased when the couple opened their first Chihuahua Mexican Grill, the syndicated radio program airing on the no longer existent 106.7 DreamFM "Manila's Jazz Authority" and on sister stations nationwide continued garnering an ever-growing listener base. As a podcast, MUSIC AND WINE Radio reaches the four corners of the Earth with hundreds of thousands of downloads and subscribers, just recently earni

Another throwback to the House of Love days. Enjoy!

This is an audition mix I put together 10 years ago for a monthly party Kevin Ruiz, Wendell Garcia and I were pitching to a club called Ascend in the Fort.

Multi-award winning, Montreal-based DJ Jojo Flores returns to Manila this Saturday, February 10, for a spectacular all-day music festival at The Ruins in Poblacion, Makati. And we get to celebrate our ONE-HUNDREDTH EPISODE by featuring Jojo, who we can confidently say, after doing this podcast for 10 years, is our favorite DJ hands down. This set recorded live in Athens, Greece, and takes us on a nice journey through the full spectrum of the Global Soul sound. Don't miss this Saturday's Not Your Typical party that starts at 2pm and ends at 12 midnight and features organizer Kristian Hernandez, Shortkut (San Francisco), Miro, Vinroc, That Girl, Marvelous, Deejay Paeste, Henry Lami, Archie Oclos, Padyak Ph, and of course the one and only Jojo Flores. This is deep house music at its very best! https://www.facebook.com/events/2025446001044991/ http://jojoflores.com/

Here's an early mix from the HOUSE OF LOVE days. They don't make music like this anymore. Absolutely love it. Featuring tracks by Francois K, Matthias Heilbronn, Llorca, Sun Orchestra, and lots more.

Another WEEKEND PROJECT instalment: easy listening cool music

Before MUSIC AND WINE, there was "Chill House with an Attitude", a series of 10 mixes that spanned four years. Each of those mixes are emblematic of the deep house sound that defined my DJ career from 2004 to 2007. This mix in particular, which features tracks by Franck Roger, DJ Deep, Jovonn, Dennis Ferrer, Siji and many others, was recorded soon after Ines, Kaye Quema, nightlife Legend Bobong Velez and I organized the biggest party that Greenbelt 2 had experienced since its inception attended by 4000 people--the New Year's party 2007 featuring DJs Kevin Ruiz, Jermaine Brown, and yours truly. It's the 10 year anniversary of this pre-MUSIC AND WINE set. Strap on your headphones, your dancing shoes, and your seat-belt. This is CHWA Volume 9.

The throwbacks keep on coming! Here's the first of two "chill out" CDs I recorded for the bar Brava in Serendra BGC in 2007, as commissioned by its proprietor Ms Abba Napa, the award winning restaurant entrepreneur today leading the Moment Group. The mix includes smooth jazzy tracks by Incognito, Jill Scott, Jimmy Summers, Grace Jones, Floetry, Erika Badu, Craig David, Ronny Jordan, and many more. Enjoy! Elian

I'm playing good old house favorites at FIG's rooftop THIS Saturday. Inés Cabarrus-Habayeb and I would love to see our good friends there :) Here's another one of the early mixes, by popular demand. This mix was my first to be aired on the radio 15 years ago, featured on The Blue Room -- Wendell Garcia and Erik Mana's weekly 4-hour music show on Manila's Wave 89.1 FM. Those were the days of 78Orange, Green Planet, Pravda, Whereelse, Restaurant 12, Absinthe, Ice Vodka, and Temple, when I was falling in love with house music, discovering my sound, and later building that cozy little niche for myself in the world of electronic dance music. Much love to Kevin Ruiz, Manolet Dario, Myk Tolentino, Owens Sun, Mon Maramba, Andy Gray, Angela De Vera, Adrian Cuenca, Robert-Tisha Villaluz, Nicky Jurado, Michelle D. Lagdameo, Anthony Kierulf, Benjo Marquez, Markus Jentes, Marcel Crespo, Liezl Sarmiento, Marty Martel, Eric Cua, Ramon Delgado Rufino, Steven Tambunting, Christine San Diego, Elbert Cuenca, Adrian Hernandez

One of my early sets, inspired by the lounge sound of Stephane Pompougnac, Bruno Le Pretre, Thievery Corporation, and Supperclub. A little inside baseball: this mix was considered lost for the last 10 years, and has miraculously resurfaced this month unscathed, as good as the day it was recorded in mid-2003.

The Chicago-based DJ with Filipino roots records an exclusive mix for MUSIC AND WINE welcoming 2017. "I want to start the year positive and productive," says Alex Callejo, who doesn't get to DJ as much ever since his son Noah came along 20 months ago. "I needed an escape from the craziness of this world," he explains, adding "I always feel great to mix and release."

It's another pleasant, drizzly Wednesday night in the tropics. This time we're at HOOCH, the speakeasy famous for its designer cocktails that has recently become the place to go to for decent house music in Salcedo Village. It's my first time to play at HOOCH, although Ines and I have been to the bar plenty of times. The place is small and dark, with a long bar along its right side and two screens showing Charlie Chaplin movies. Outside, a couple of couches, and wooden cocktail tables facing Leviste Street. The night's organizer Jimmy Electriscoot sets up early on Wednesdays, and makes sure to include his Warfedale sub and the hi-fi monitor speakers for a fuller sound outside. I start at about 10pm when there's already a good number of friends in the crowd. I feel this burning need to play uplifting house music all night long. *** The day is a particularly glum one for me on a personal level. This morning, Bernie Sanders announced his endorsement of Hillary Clinton, which means the bitter end to the r

Another beautiful night at Hooch, I'm quite happy with the set composed mostly of tracks that I haven't played in a long time. Always nice to see Camille Villanueva, Rachel Harrison, Victoria, Pierre Tountzis, Chris, Sasha, Tanya, David, Paul, Joanna (Joey), Infante Ricardo and everyone grooving al fresco till 2am Special thanks to Jimmy Gustilo for having me, and of course to the Hooch people Dixie Marinas, Lord Ancheta & Aksana Kalinich, Sam et al.
