Those looking for a poppin’ night certainly got their fill at the Pulse Saturdays: We Got D.I.B.S. event. On scene at the Urban Athletics Store in Greenbelt 3, Makati, the party certainly lived it up as everyone got a taste of D.I.B.S., Dropping Ill Beats/Brands Simultaneously.

Already serving up its second edition, Pulse Saturdays: We Got D.I.B.S. brought together the dynamics of style and sound in an all -out craze as it launched brand-spankin’ new hits in both music and fashion. Event is powered by Team Strato and backed by its media partners Urban Myx, Magic 89.9, JACK TV, and Clavel magazine with drink sponsors Bigshot Energy Drink, Tanduay Ice, Manila Beer and Coors Light. 

The crowd partied with the beat and overflowing beer, what made the event extra dope was the album launch of one Philippine’s purebred Hip Hop artist, MC Dash Calzado.

Early ‘90s as an artist and producer, MC Dash aka Mighty Joe Young finally busted his first solo album entitled Return of the Phunky Juan. MC Dash brought the house down with sick rhymes and droppin’ beats with a twist of pure Pinoy brown flavah.

Along with the music came the launch of new clothing collection VURS exclusively available only at Urban Athletics. Founded by partners Eric Villarama and Lamont Waters, Vital Urban Revolutionary Standards (VURS) is a socially conscious and inspirational clothing enterprise. Pieces of clothing at VURS are loaded with statements that inspire, whether poetic, lyrical, spiritual, biblical or simple quotes.

VURS also supports the awareness, rescue and restoration initiatives against human trafficking. By donating 15 percent of each purchased VURS merchandise, the group helps fund MTV EXIT Roadshows which educates the public about the horrors of human trafficking, how to protect their families and empower them to spread the word. This way, patrons and customers become real heroes by investing on the fight against this social injustice.
