DJ SWITCHTRIK




Paolo Toledo, DJ/Musician/Writer/Advertiser/Entrepreneur/Toy Collector/Ninja/Emcee/Songwriter in the underground hiphop band, Miscellaneous, also under the Second Story Sounds team.

A collector of urban art in the form of vinyl toys particularly from Kidrobot, Toy2R and Mindstyle. I like the works of Huck Gee, Frank Kozik, MAD, Tristan Eaton, Tara McPherson and Tim Tsui (to name a few). A big fan of Fresh Manila, which never fails to hook me up with toys to feed my young (and hungry) addiction.

Learned to DJ at 19, been spinning both privately and publicly since. Has played in numerous bars and events from Makati to QC (i.e. Ponticello, Temple, Attica, Hierarchy, Mag:net, Coquina, Mint, Piedra, Warehouse 135, Mondial, Alchemy, Fiamma, etc), and even in other parts of the country (i.e. Discovery Shores Boracay for Attica’s A-List Parties).

With the influence Second Story Sounds, he was able to expand his DJing skills and music, and he learned a lot from the rest of the guys. Paolo just kept on watching other DJs and just jamming at home or at the studio, until he was able to invest in more equipment and was able to accept more gigs in bigger events and clubs. Until now, he just does this all for the learning and the fun and of course the music. He is just as big a fan of other DJs, and a student of the craft.

"Spinning is therapy for me. It’s all for the love of good music, good people and good energy. I just love playing music for people, that’s it. The satisfaction of moving a crowd with music is incomparable. That’s why I don’t have planned sets. I just wing it every time and just play with the vibe of the people." - Switch
