A Decade of Good Noise
The milestone celebration is happening on November 21, 2026, at 123 Block in Mandaluyong City. Furthermore, the event features a street-style fiesta theme. Attendees can expect live performances, booths, and various activities. Moreover, the anniversary lineup brings together current acts like ena mori, ALYSON, Ligaya Escueta, neytan, Sexy Jay, and Carousel Casualties. They will perform alongside past collaborators, including Pinkmen, Apartel, and the Itchyworms.
Ten Years and A Change
Founded in 2016, Offshore Music began as a creative home for Apartel. Reflecting on those humble beginnings, Ely Buendia shares,
We really just wanted to see if there was something we could learn or do by handling our own music. And then as time went by, we discovered that we could actually be a real place where artists can flourish.”
Since then, it has grown into a respected label representing over 20 artists. In addition to this growth, the label released a five-part docuseries on YouTube to document its journey. Ultimately, the team remains focused on artist-first partnerships and creative freedom.
Moving Forward
As it enters its next chapter, Offshore Music continues to support individuality and artistic growth. Tickets for the upcoming anniversary show are available on the Offshore Music Helixpay Page.
