By holding these pieces, she makes the act of reclamation tangible, turning memory, pain and history into something she can grasp. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13983715\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/11/rainwater10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13983715\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/11/rainwater10.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/11/rainwater10-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/11/rainwater10-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/11/rainwater10-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Images from the series ‘Tikba Ihiya (To Keep Going),’ 2025. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Tricia Rainwater)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Rainwater’s exhibit was made possible in part through a \u003ca href=\"https://www.baaits.org/\">Bay Area American Indian Two-Spirits\u003c/a> (BAAITS) mini-grant, which supports Indigenous artists advancing Two-Spirit and LQBTQ+ visibility through creative practice.

I grip my daughter’s hand and lead her through the sea of people, praying we don’t get separated in the chaos. Then, “Love Me” by Fia drops, and the whole crowd sways in unison, a group of girls in front serenading each other with the chorus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a typical night at the club, except we aren’t at a nightclub tonight. Instead, we’re at the brand new Seafood City supermarket at St. Francis Square, and the packed area I’m making a beeline for is the snack aisle, not the women’s bathroom on Ladies’ Night. Off to the side, the hungry crowd lines up patiently for pancit, kwek kwek (batter-fried quail eggs) and BBQ on a stick. Meanwhile, a lone shopper pulls up to the one checkout aisle that’s open with a full basket of groceries. I glance at him in equal parts pity and amusement, wondering if it’s the worst day for him to go grocery shopping or the best. But the truth is, no one seems bothered that the supermarket has erupted into an all-out dance party. Everyone is having the time of their lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, it seems that clubs are \u003ci>out\u003c/i>, and Filipino grocery stores are \u003ci>in\u003c/i>.

The supermarket dance parties were the brainchild of Vallejo-raised JP Breganza, who DJed his first Seafood City gig in September to kick off the store’s new night market series. Videos of those first parties — shot by the Filipino American nonprofit \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/sf_kollective/?hl=en\">SF Kollective\u003c/a>, which co-organized several of the events — immediately went viral. \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/DOQs-t2kRWS/?hl=en\">In the videos\u003c/a>, the store isn’t as crowded as it would get for the later editions. But you can see random shoppers, and even Seafood City employees, getting down to Breganza’s perfectly curated set of danceable \u003ca href=\"https://www.undiscoveredsf.com/blog/2019/8/15/what-is-original-pilipino-music-opm\">Original Pilipino Music\u003c/a> (OPM), \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budots\">budots\u003c/a> tracks from Bandcamp, and other songs that he scoured obscure Facebook DJ groups to find — all with the goal of hyping up an intergenerational crowd.

And I’m the type of person to go, ‘Well, have you played under a tree or on top of a rock?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In July, someone commented on one of those videos, “You should do this at Seafood City.” Breganza thought it was a dumb idea — but also exactly the kind of thing he was willing to try. Of course, every Filipino kid growing up in the States has memories of buying groceries at Seafood City, which has been a staple in Filipino American enclaves, especially in California, since the late ’80s. It was usually out of necessity, though, and not recreational. Still, Breganza reposted the comment, tagging Jollibee, Island Pacific Supermarket and Seafood City. Seafood City bit first, and the rest was history: Five hours later, they’d booked him for the series of night market events they were about to promote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13983055\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13983055\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY01006_TV-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"A crowd lined up outside a Seafood City supermarket at nighttime.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY01006_TV-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY01006_TV-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY01006_TV-KQED-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY01006_TV-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A crowd of attendees lining up outside the Daly City grocery store. \u003ccite>(Tâm Vũ/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But at its core, the Seafood City dance party craze that Breganza started isn’t \u003ci>just \u003c/i>about DJing in an unusual location. Growing up in the Bay Area’s Filipino American community, he says Daly City always had a special place in his heart. It’s the place he associates with the huge Filipino family parties where he watched his aunties and cousins and grandparents interact. “Whenever I went to Daly City, I always knew it was gonna be a big party. I had no idea who was going to be there,” he remembers. “I’m going to see all the aunties and uncles that I still don’t know their names because there’s so many of them. That’s also where I meet all the kids. I was absorbing it all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[aside postID='arts_13977860,arts_13959765,arts_13938479']\u003c/span>As the youngest among his family friends, Breganza was used to peeking in during these house parties and seeing people learn how to play a video game or set up turntables for a dance in the garage. That was exactly the type of intergenerational atmosphere he wanted to recreate at Seafood City. After all those treks between Vallejo and Daly City when he was growing up, it made sense for his set to pay homage to what he calls a “\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/jpbreganza/reel/DPr-nh2EjAG/?hl=en\">home that once was\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t until the day of the first gig that Breganza learned that Seafood City would be shutting down two checkstands, and that he would actually be spinning inside of the store during store hours. That setup changed everything. “I brought the loudest speakers, just to make sure I filled up the whole store,” he says, explaining how he brought his own equipment for the two-hour drive from Rancho Cordova, where he now lives. “The most important part for me was also for the employees to experience it, because they’re not built for the nightlife and they need the music. I’m giving them a piece of home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13983052\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13983052\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00383_TV-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"A cashier rings up a customer inside a busy supermarket.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00383_TV-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00383_TV-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00383_TV-KQED-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00383_TV-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jasmin San Jose, a cashier, rings up a customer in the middle of one of Seafood City’s late-night DJ parties. \u003ccite>(Tâm Vũ/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For other Filipino Americans who came out to the Seafood City parties after they’d turned into a full-blown phenomenon, the supermarket blowouts felt like more than just another store promotion. On the night I visited, DJ Illyst from San José was one of the DJs on deck, and she had, of course, never spun at a grocery store during the year and a half that she’d been DJing professionally. “It feels like a family party. Doing all the line dances, the singalongs — there’s way more energy than going to the club,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Steph Balon, executive director of the nonprofit \u003ca href=\"https://kapwakulturalcenter.org/\">Kapwa Kultural Center & Café\u003c/a>, was there in the crowd with her nine-year-old son, Koa, for the second night in a row. The previous night, when DJ Cutso was on the turntables, Koa had felt the spirit of the song so intensely that “before I knew it, he was gone,” Balon recalls. Eventually, she found him on top of the checkstand, dancing his heart out for the cheering crowd. It made Balon think about her own childhood growing up between San Ramon and the Peninsula. She remembers how at family parties, everyone would dance in a circle, egged on by their aunts and uncles. Now, her son was getting to partake in the same coming-of-age ritual. Only it was on a larger scale — and at the grocery store of all places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13983047\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13983047\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00040_TV-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"Four young children eating a spread of Filipino street food in a supermarket food court.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00040_TV-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00040_TV-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00040_TV-KQED-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00040_TV-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Four young children take a break from the dance party to enjoy a spread of Filipino street food in the Seafood City food court. \u003ccite>(Tâm Vũ/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Now that the events’ popularity has spread all the way to L.A., Las Vegas and Houston, with flashier, more famous DJs, I ask Breganza whether he minds that Seafood City has taken his “dumb idea” and run with it.

I grip my daughter’s hand and lead her through the sea of people, praying we don’t get separated in the chaos. Then, “Love Me” by Fia drops, and the whole crowd sways in unison, a group of girls in front serenading each other with the chorus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a typical night at the club, except we aren’t at a nightclub tonight. Instead, we’re at the brand new Seafood City supermarket at St. Francis Square, and the packed area I’m making a beeline for is the snack aisle, not the women’s bathroom on Ladies’ Night. Off to the side, the hungry crowd lines up patiently for pancit, kwek kwek (batter-fried quail eggs) and BBQ on a stick. Meanwhile, a lone shopper pulls up to the one checkout aisle that’s open with a full basket of groceries. I glance at him in equal parts pity and amusement, wondering if it’s the worst day for him to go grocery shopping or the best. But the truth is, no one seems bothered that the supermarket has erupted into an all-out dance party. Everyone is having the time of their lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, it seems that clubs are \u003ci>out\u003c/i>, and Filipino grocery stores are \u003ci>in\u003c/i>. All you need are comfortable shoes, an appetite for street food and a brave friend to join you in the line dance when a Tita beckons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13983051\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13983051\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00288_TV-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"A Black party attendee dances in the middle of a circle that's formed in the middle of a supermarket.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00288_TV-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00288_TV-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00288_TV-KQED-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00288_TV-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paul Harrell (center) dances in the circle that’s formed inside the store. \u003ccite>(Tâm Vũ/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For the entire month of October, which happens to be Filipino American History Month, videos of this “Late Night Market Madness” party series have been popping up all over social media, showing a similar scene at Seafood City locations around the country: Bay Area luminaries \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13938479/p-lo-filipino-food-bay-area-hella-hungry\">P-Lo\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/noodz/reels/?hl=en\">DJ Noodles\u003c/a> flexed their Filipino star power at Eagle Rock Plaza in L.A., and DJs in Seattle hyped up the crowd with a Backstreet Boys singalong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the whole thing started in Daly City. The supermarket dance parties were the brainchild of Vallejo-raised JP Breganza, who DJed his first Seafood City gig in September to kick off the store’s new night market series. Videos of those first parties — shot by the Filipino American nonprofit \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/sf_kollective/?hl=en\">SF Kollective\u003c/a>, which co-organized several of the events — immediately went viral. \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/DOQs-t2kRWS/?hl=en\">In the videos\u003c/a>, the store isn’t as crowded as it would get for the later editions. But you can see random shoppers, and even Seafood City employees, getting down to Breganza’s perfectly curated set of danceable \u003ca href=\"https://www.undiscoveredsf.com/blog/2019/8/15/what-is-original-pilipino-music-opm\">Original Pilipino Music\u003c/a> (OPM), \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budots\">budots\u003c/a> tracks from Bandcamp, and other songs that he scoured obscure Facebook DJ groups to find — all with the goal of hyping up an intergenerational crowd. He always ended by playing his favorite Filipino alt-rock band, Mayonnaise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And I’m the type of person to go, ‘Well, have you played under a tree or on top of a rock?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In July, someone commented on one of those videos, “You should do this at Seafood City.” Breganza thought it was a dumb idea — but also exactly the kind of thing he was willing to try. Of course, every Filipino kid growing up in the States has memories of buying groceries at Seafood City, which has been a staple in Filipino American enclaves, especially in California, since the late ’80s. It was usually out of necessity, though, and not recreational. Still, Breganza reposted the comment, tagging Jollibee, Island Pacific Supermarket and Seafood City. Seafood City bit first, and the rest was history: Five hours later, they’d booked him for the series of night market events they were about to promote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13983055\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13983055\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY01006_TV-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"A crowd lined up outside a Seafood City supermarket at nighttime.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY01006_TV-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY01006_TV-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY01006_TV-KQED-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY01006_TV-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A crowd of attendees lining up outside the Daly City grocery store. \u003ccite>(Tâm Vũ/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But at its core, the Seafood City dance party craze that Breganza started isn’t \u003ci>just \u003c/i>about DJing in an unusual location. Growing up in the Bay Area’s Filipino American community, he says Daly City always had a special place in his heart. It’s the place he associates with the huge Filipino family parties where he watched his aunties and cousins and grandparents interact. “Whenever I went to Daly City, I always knew it was gonna be a big party. I had no idea who was going to be there,” he remembers. “I’m going to see all the aunties and uncles that I still don’t know their names because there’s so many of them. That’s also where I meet all the kids. I was absorbing it all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That was exactly the type of intergenerational atmosphere he wanted to recreate at Seafood City. After all those treks between Vallejo and Daly City when he was growing up, it made sense for his set to pay homage to what he calls a “\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/jpbreganza/reel/DPr-nh2EjAG/?hl=en\">home that once was\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t until the day of the first gig that Breganza learned that Seafood City would be shutting down two checkstands, and that he would actually be spinning inside of the store during store hours. That setup changed everything. “I brought the loudest speakers, just to make sure I filled up the whole store,” he says, explaining how he brought his own equipment for the two-hour drive from Rancho Cordova, where he now lives. “The most important part for me was also for the employees to experience it, because they’re not built for the nightlife and they need the music. I’m giving them a piece of home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13983052\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13983052\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00383_TV-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"A cashier rings up a customer inside a busy supermarket.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00383_TV-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00383_TV-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00383_TV-KQED-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00383_TV-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jasmin San Jose, a cashier, rings up a customer in the middle of one of Seafood City’s late-night DJ parties. \u003ccite>(Tâm Vũ/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For other Filipino Americans who came out to the Seafood City parties after they’d turned into a full-blown phenomenon, the supermarket blowouts felt like more than just another store promotion. On the night I visited, DJ Illyst from San José was one of the DJs on deck, and she had, of course, never spun at a grocery store during the year and a half that she’d been DJing professionally. “It feels like a family party. Doing all the line dances, the singalongs — there’s way more energy than going to the club,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Steph Balon, executive director of the nonprofit \u003ca href=\"https://kapwakulturalcenter.org/\">Kapwa Kultural Center & Café\u003c/a>, was there in the crowd with her nine-year-old son, Koa, for the second night in a row. The previous night, when DJ Cutso was on the turntables, Koa had felt the spirit of the song so intensely that “before I knew it, he was gone,” Balon recalls. Eventually, she found him on top of the checkstand, dancing his heart out for the cheering crowd. It made Balon think about her own childhood growing up between San Ramon and the Peninsula. She remembers how at family parties, everyone would dance in a circle, egged on by their aunts and uncles. Now, her son was getting to partake in the same coming-of-age ritual. Only it was on a larger scale — and at the grocery store of all places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13983047\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13983047\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00040_TV-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"Four young children eating a spread of Filipino street food in a supermarket food court.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00040_TV-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00040_TV-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00040_TV-KQED-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00040_TV-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Four young children take a break from the dance party to enjoy a spread of Filipino street food in the Seafood City food court. \u003ccite>(Tâm Vũ/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Now that the events’ popularity has spread all the way to L.A., Las Vegas and Houston, with flashier, more famous DJs, I ask Breganza whether he minds that Seafood City has taken his “dumb idea” and run with it. But Breganza says, “It was never about [claiming] it’s my terrain.” He’s just happy that the idea to spin a set in every Filipino enclave has taken off — with or without him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to work on a project where I can curate regional sound amongst the Filipino community,” he says of his ultimate goal. “What if the Houston DJs were playing chopped-and-screwed versions of OPM, or Chicago was playing house versions?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, he’s focusing on the Bay Area, and instilling a sense of Filipino pride along with that early ’90s family party nostalgia. Starting with these Daly City supermarket gigs, he’s already done just that, turning a “dumb idea” into a brilliant marketing partnership — and also something much deeper. Whether it’s creating that perfect love ballad mashup for his set or grabbing the mic to entertain shoppers and workers alike, Breganza doesn’t want the important stuff to get lost in the virality of the moment, or competition between different Seafood City locations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13983050\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13983050\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00264_TV-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"A crowd of Filipino Americans dancing and singing inside a grocery store.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00264_TV-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00264_TV-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00264_TV-KQED-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/251018-FILIPINODANCEPARTY00264_TV-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alyssa Borland (front) dances during DJ Boogie Brown’s set. \u003ccite>(Tâm Vũ/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As SF Kollective co-founder Dean Urriza \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQUGtLPEa5Y/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==\">recently pointed out\u003c/a> on Instagram: “This is and always will be about community, and showing up for each other, not showing out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Breganza hopes to provide, then, is that missing piece — that feeling of being among family, even with people you’ve never met.

Fans demanded more when their afternoon set was over, and they obliged with an encore, performing “El Único,” their conversational hit about each realizing they’re hooking up with the same girl.

Continuing the academic theme, cheeky narration broke the show down into chapters like “good bars and great bars” and “the aspect of flow.” Doechii excelled in every curriculum, demonstrating otherworldly breath control while rapping and dancing with athletic precision. Fans danced and jumped, but their eyes were laser-focused on the stage, afraid to miss a moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13979796\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13979796\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_14.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_14.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_14-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_14-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_14-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Doechii performs at Outside Lands on Friday, August 8, 2025. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez for KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Doechii’s DJ, Miss Milan, interlaced the set with samples that positioned Doechii’s discography as part of a venerable lineage. “Persuasive” bled into Missy Elliott’s “She’s a Bitch”; “Boiled Peanuts” morphed into the beat of “C.R.E.A.M” by Wu-Tang Clan.

Fresh and Crime Mob’s “Knuck If You Buck.”[aside postid='arts_13979494']After the boom-bap portion of the show, Doechii paid homage to the queer art of ballroom. “Alter Ego,” which she rapped with enough energy to light your hair on fire, was blended with a Crystal Waters sample as her dancers vogued, practically levitating off the stage. Doechii proclaimed, “Where my gays at?” to loud cheers from the main-stage crowd, tens of thousands deep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 45-minute set went from twerking to head banging during “Catfish,” with Doechii declaring, “Free Palestine, what the fuck is you talkin’ about?” As her cheeky, self-reflective breakout hit “Denial Is a River” closed out the show, she heartily thanked the people in the back, her dancers, her band and production.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13979798\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13979798\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_16.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_16.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_16-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_16-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_16-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Doechii performs at Outside Lands on Friday, August 8, 2025. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez for KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Doechii delivered nothing but excellence, and she wasn’t even the festival headliner at Outside Lands.

Throughout her 90-minute set, she teased the crowd with sexy songs like “Juicy” and got people jumping during the rambunctious “Tia Tamara.” With fireworks and pyrotechnics, but without dancers, a costume change or much set design, the performance left me wanting more — especially for one of the most highly anticipated sets of the night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13979799\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13979799\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_17.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_17.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_17-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_17-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_17-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Doja Cat performs at Outside Lands on Friday, August 8, 2025. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez for KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13979793\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13979793\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_11.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_11-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_11-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_11-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fcukers perform at Outside Lands on Friday, August 8, 2025. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez for KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Fcukers were the breakout act of the evening\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Almost every year at Outside Lands, there’s someone who kills it at the smaller Panhandle stage, and this year it was Fcukers.

Throughout her 90-minute set, she teased the crowd with sexy songs like “Juicy” and got people jumping during the rambunctious “Tia Tamara.” With fireworks and pyrotechnics, but without dancers, a costume change or much set design, the performance left me wanting more — especially for one of the most highly anticipated sets of the night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13979799\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13979799\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_17.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_17.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_17-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_17-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_17-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Doja Cat performs at Outside Lands on Friday, August 8, 2025. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez for KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13979793\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13979793\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_11.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_11-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_11-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/08082025_Outsidelands_EG_11-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fcukers perform at Outside Lands on Friday, August 8, 2025. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez for KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Fcukers were the breakout act of the evening\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Almost every year at Outside Lands, there’s someone who kills it at the smaller Panhandle stage, and this year it was Fcukers.
