Filipino American DJs-turned-vocalists, Jon “Joog” Macapinlac and Alexander “Flex” Lim, are ready to elevate the Bay Area music scene to new heights with the premiere of their debut music video.

The duo, at the forefront of the funky band stemming from their DJ collective, Cheat Day, has been setting Bay Area dance floors ablaze with their infectious beats since their inception.

Their first official single off Tall Tee’s upcoming album, and the first song they ever recorded together, “So Fly,” accompanied by their first-ever music video, promises to transport audiences to another dimension with its irresistible rhythm.

The event, scheduled for April 10 at 8:30 p.m., is shaping up to be a celebration of music and creativity. Hosted by Joog and Flex themselves, the evening will unveil the exclusive viewing party of the music video, directed by Patrick Aguilar.

Attendees can also anticipate a behind-the-scenes series by Karlos Marx and a special DJ set by Tall Tee, ensuring an unforgettable experience for all.

“We wanted to make it more communal,” explains Flex on KQED, highlighting the significance of togetherness in their artistic journey.

Taking to Instagram, the duo extended a warm invitation to their audience, captioning, “Our VERY FIRST music video releases next week, and we invite you to watch it with us at @thisisbabashouse for the watch party!”
