Anito Soul
Anito Soul is the artist name of Michael Balangue, a Filipino-American from Tulsa, Oklahoma currently based in NYC.
Anito, also spelled anitu, refers to ancestor spirits, nature spirits, and deities in the indigenous Philippine folk religions from the precolonial age to the present.

They also host a bimonthly radio show called Trip Report on 8ball Radio and previously hosted a radio show on Half Moon Bk called BAKUNAWA FM. Their sets are multi-genre but rooted in jungle, footwork, hard drum, club, and anything focused on bass or breaks.

They have also released music on compilations such as FML Rave hosted by SUCIA! and DJ Manny and a mix for Somersault Records.

Their rooms
One tick a night, on the one axis this page has — Aug 2023, where the listings start, to Jan 2027, the last night anybody has announced. The shaded end has not happened yet.
- Wondervillewas a standing night · Sep 2023 – Apr 20246 nights
- Mood RingNov 2023 – Sep 20243 nights
Once each: Home Sweet Home, The House, Gugu Room, Trans-Pecos, The End, The Red Pavilion, Sundown and Elsewhere. One of the 18 listings never named a room, and is not counted as one.
Who they play with
Counted from the bills themselves, over bills of twelve names or fewer. A pair's count includes a night that is announced and not yet played; where there is one, the row says when.
