about
Jeric Lim a.k.a. Limsum is a DJ, producer and co-founding partner of online platforms Manila. Community Radio and Ikigai Radio (Philippines). He is also the co-organizer of SadoMasoDisco which is an underground rave party series in Manila.
Limsum can seamlessly drift from disco, house, electro, pro-trance to 90s techno. An avid crate digger, he almost always throws in an esoteric disco gem or pop cover in Cantonese or Turkish in his sets. To him, a banger’s a banger, so he won’t shy away from an oddball mashup or bootleg rework. A DJ since 2015, he’s not just about being an impeccable selector. It’s his keen sense of what truly makes a dance floor light up.
He has helped build communities, not just around like-minded selectors, but with a desire to tap into the breadth of talent in Metro Manila. The first of these efforts materialized as Ikigai Radio, a video-based platform he co-founded with a journalist in late 2019. Before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the project has organized 4 on-ground “episodes” with artists such as Samantha Nicole, VVVV, Dignos, Ayøn, DJxAW, Duality, Bins, Karlo and John Pope (Red Bull Music Academy 2015). He has co-hosted or performed with the likes of Blue Hour, Romain Fx, Fantastic Man, and Adis Abbé.
