COUNTERFLOW: Currents In New Filipino Music
by JOEL QUIZON
Recent finds while digital digging on Soundcloud for new music coming out of the Philippines. These artists have so much to say and brave enough to say it through music. Limitless and unguarded at times, hopeful and resilient as some of the best of Filipino pop music, and above all courageous. Far-out sounds from dreamy indie pop, bedroom electronica, leftfield hip hop, experimental ambient, sample based downtempo, and other sonic ruminations. Hope you enjoy and give these artists a follow and share.

Originally posted on March 3, 2008 on UpsetterSound.com’s Los Relics Radio curated by good friend filmmaker, DJ, musician, urban scholar, skater and family man Lakandiwa de Leon. His call out to selector friends to make mixes to share for Los Relics allowed me to share my growing collection of Pinoy (Filipino) centric records. Not a lot of venues I can play VST or Eva Eugenio, but I can always play Bataan or Barabas though.
So, one restless night at 2am I started pulling records of varying styles, origins, languages and eras but all had one thing in common, all were made by Filipinos (full blooded or not) whether solo or part of the band. Whether it was the Morales brothers as part of Spain’s psych-funk band Barabas or Afro-Filipino Joe Bataan from Spanish Harlem, beat music from the Rocky Fellers in the US or Jaime Salazar from Cebu, Philippine dream pop from Rey Valera or blissful 70’s pop from Apo Hiking Society and Cinderella, or from the Bay Area, soul wailer Sugar Pie DeSanto and ethno-funk heavies Dakila, all of them Pinoys and all make up this diasporic mixtape.
Two years after recording this rambling and rather technically flawed mix I have made it somewhat of a mission to help re-introduce Philippine popular music to an audience that would not normally seek them out as well as re-contextualize the music for people to appreciate and enjoy again or for the first time. A tad grandiose, but I will attempt to, at least.
One funky track at a time if I have to! ;-)
