Anito Soul

Anito Soul invites you to connect to something bigger than yourself on the dancefloor, channeling ancestral and nature-based spirit energy through booming bass, ravaging breakbeats, off-kilter rhythms, and a mix of the enigmatic and familiar.

Anito Soul is the artist name of Michael Balangue (he/they), an NYC-based junglist and Filipino-American from Tulsa, Oklahoma—anito refers to ancestor and nature spirits in indigenous Philippine folk religions. They love building community through music as a co-organizer of the creative collective planetqueer. Their sets are multi-genre and rooted in jungle, footwork, club, and anything bass/breaks-heavy.
