XI

Hailing from the vibrant music scene of NYC, Christi McGarry aka DJ Xi is a multi-hyphenated Filipina-American who found her sound after settling into the concrete jungle and tropical islands of the Philippines. With an eclectic style and taste that seamlessly transcends genres, her sets are inspired by many years spent behind and in-front of the booth.

With a magnetic presence and global appeal, Christi has become a household name in the music and events industry and the underground electronic music community in the Philippines. With a stirring presence in Asia and Europe, Christi has secured bookings for luxury brands such as Dior, Louis Vuitton, Ferrari, YSL Beauty, Prada Beauty, and more, to playing high profile events like Formula 1 Singapore, along with her previous residencies at Shangri-La & the Grand Hyatt Manila.

Xi has played nights at underground clubs including Savage, Hanoi; Club Celia, Shanghai; Nokal & XXXX Manila; and Khar Social Mumbai with Krunk collective, along with island beach clubs and festivals like Pepper-On, Albania; Barbosa; Siargao, and Ombak Festival in Malaysia. She also has regular invites to popular underground parties such as Electric Bazaar, Casa Disco, Harana Sabado
Nights, Full Moon Boracay, Ritmo, and one of the Philippines’ longest running pioneer underground parties/festivals, UNKNWN.

So whether she’s playing at a club, festival or social event, Xi continues to push the boundaries of electronic music by taking you on a journey filled with unexpected twists, blending tropical rhythms, punchy bass-lines, and raw city breaks. Expect anything between high energy, acid or soulful house, electro to disco, to tech-house, latin/afro and Amapiano. Xi delivers a delicate balance that feels both primal and sultry, leaving a lasting impression on everyone who experiences her sound.
