Enigmatic masked DJ and producer Marshmello is bringing his groove-oriented, synth and bass-heavy electronic dance music to Manila at Valkyrie Nightclub on Friday, September 22.
In the spirit of other masked DJs like Deadmau5 and Daft Punk, Marshmello, whose real identity remains a mystery, appears wearing a full-head-covering marshmallow mask. But despite the anonymity, Marshmello’s career blew up in 2015 when he began releasing tracks online, including remixes of Zedd’s “Beautiful Now,” Jack Ü’s “Where Are U Now,” and others. From there came shows at New York’s Pier 94, Pomona, California’s HARD Day of the Dead festival, and Miami Music Week. In 2016, Marshmello released a compilation of his previously released tracks, Joytime, which reached No. 1 on a digital top electronic albums chart and peaked at No. 5 on Billboard‘s Top Dance/Electronic Albums. Included on the album was the single “Keep It Mello,” featuring vocals from rapper Omar LinX.
