Sa mga 80's fan out there a DJ friend of mine is playing 80's tunes :boo: every friday nights sa Katips Timog (actually along Sct. Torilllo yun). Great guy he really was a child of the 80's kaya hayup ang collection ng 80's dance and new wave tunes. :thumbsupsmiley: Very receptive to requests unlike other DJ's na ayaw magpalit ng program for fear na di kaya imix. Kahit magkagulo mix basta masaya tao iplay niya! :boo: :thumbsupsmiley: :thumbsupsmiley: :boo:
