The 80s was definitely a great decade to remember especially regarding the Musical Genre called NEW WAVE. Here in MANILA, a lot of NEW WAVE MOBILES emerged in this great era. Mobiles either the Low Key and the High Profile ones have contributed a lot in terms of spreading the music by spinning their records on High School Dances, Soirees, 102 Parties, BM and NU sponsored parties and other PARTIES. These mobiles have influenced a lot of PINOYS during the 80s and some of them were even responsible for beefing up the Radio Playlist of WXB 102, POWER 105 DZBM, NU 107, and 99.5 RT. YUP!! They provided some of the NEW WAVE/PUNK Vinyl records for us to hear over the radio. I can still remember WXB102's evening radio show called "MUSIC SPIN BOX" where New Wave Mobiles were invited to relatively spin their kind of music. Of course there was also NU107's "DANCE MIX 107" that featured NEW WAVE MIXES.EXCELLENT INDEED!! Well, this blogpost of mine is my little tribute to these great LEGENDARY NEW WAVE MOBILES that burned the MANILA NEW WAVE SCENE back in the 80s and even the early 90s. And Of course, who would forget those "BATTLE OF THE MOBILES" events back in those times when these mobiles show-off their spinning talents in a competition.I made a simple list of these mobiles which I arranged alphabetically and of course It's not 100% complete. So KABAYANS if I missed out anyone of them feel free to add up to the list. I will definitely appreciate it. YUP!! I would like to thank all these mobiles for spreading the music back then. SALUDO AKO SA INYONG LAHAT!!

Last year and recently there were the revivals of 80s New Wave Parties here in MANILA organized by POGZ and the rest of the guys. Some of the mobiles on the list were back again spinning their kind of music.

As always, great post! You have the power to take us back with you back through our New Wave heydays in the '80s.
I will never forget Mobile One, especially Dante (forgot his surname). He was the one who gave break to my former band Half Life Half Death. Without even seeing us perform yet, he gave us a nice slot during the gig Seed of Paranoia--held in September 1988 at Makati Sports Club. That was my band's first ever public gig. The rest, as many would say, was history.
Thanks to all the mobiles that powered such great dance parties back in my youthful New Wave heydays. I, too, salute you all.
