How it all began


As they say, necessity is the mother of all inventions. During the early 90's a handful of free thinking Ilonggo musicians and artists got together to form what was to become Iloilo City's unquestioned music outfit. Founded by Nervagasm and Lightsleeper, Sensimilla Underground was born.

Through out the years, the crew has garnered praises both localy and abroad for original works in the feild of electronic music. Now under the name HOTBOXRP RECORDS, the members of the outfit grew as more people got involved with the organization and its advocacy. That is to push the bounderies of music in the Philippine archipelago.

In early 2000, HotboxRP launched sub labels in order to target specific genres of music. One of those labels is Aftersyx Records. Headed by The Spook, Aftersyx Records was set to target the downtempo market. As years went by, the people behind Aftersyx stopped producing original content and concentrated on playing at sunset events around the Visayas area.

Late 2007, The Spook was joined by SpaceCore and ventured into the label's first entry into cyberspace with downtempo podcasts under the name Aftersyx Sessions. And after a few months of possitive reactions from internet users both here and abroad, The Aftersyx crew launched what was to become Iloilo City's first online underground internet radio. And as they say, the rest is history.

Aftersyx Radio, though started with purely electonic materials, now has branched out to other genres of music, but still stayed true to its roots in trying to introduce new music.
