1.	What was your familiarity with the music of the Philippines before you began researching this mix? Did you make it to the Philippines on your tour of Asia?

Sadly, I didn’t make it to the Philippines in my previous Asia tour, but I did get the chance to go digging with close friend Glenn Ellingsen (Hot Wax Soundsystem) in Hong Kong who is known for his collection of Filipino soul and funk. Glenn was kind enough to introduce me to the incredible French DJ and crate digger Moore Brahms living in Hong Kong, who runs Gila Records – a label specialising in reissuing and releasing rare grooves from southeast Asia. This is where I first fell in love with Asian soul music, and I’ve been collecting these rare gems ever since! 

2.	What did you learn in the research process? How would you describe Filipino music, as you understand it?

I discovered a huge love for 60s/70s soul music in the Philippines – some of these artists were treated like royalty. The music is heavily inspired by western soul and funk, but I love the distinctive, passionate expression in their voices, especially in the Filipino language. Every word sounds like it’s coming straight from the soul of these singers (as all good soul music should) but there’s an extra buttery feeling when hearing these lyrics. The overdriven guitar tones and the paradise flare to every track seem to be key themes of Filipino music to me. 

3.	The mix you recorded for us charts a course through some sweet pop and soul ballads and ends up in a characteristically GREETINGS disco mood (a “lovers’ deluxe”, as you described it to us). What guided your track selection?

I’ve always wanted to cultivate a mix like one of my all-time favourites: Hunee’s “In Our Time (Mix for Air / Be With Records)” Mix. It’s a perfectly crafted adventure of love songs and it’s an emotional journey. While researching these wonderful Filipino ballads, I started finding some of the funkiest and wonkiest disco beats I’ve ever heard and knew I had to incorporate them into this journey somehow… Flow has always been more important to me than showing off bangers or forcing the party tunes in the wrong moment, so this took some lengthy planning to figure out the perfect progression. 

4.	There are a mix of English-language and Filipino-language tracks in here. Did you get a feel for how different cultural influences have shaped the music of the Philippines?

Yeah, I found the mix of languages in these songs so fascinating and did do some more reading into why. There was a movement of Disco Fever over the Philippines in the late 70s which resulted in many covers of classic western hits in the Filipino language. This inspired a new movement of OPM (Original Pilipino Music) known as “the Manila Sound” that blended English and Filipino languages. A lot of bands and songwriters of the time modelled themselves after famous American funk bands and mixed English and Filipino lyrics so they could create internationally accessible music.

5.	Were there any particularly useful resources for your research? Any people, labels, publications or other sources you’d like to shout out?

As I mentioned, Brahms from Gila Records really opened my eyes with his “Pencak Killa” compilation series full of these wonderful rare East Asian grooves. I also found a wonderful little blog – pinoygrooves.com – that has an extensive catalogue of rare grooves from the Philippines accompanied by some wonderful stories and info on the history of the region’s music.

music to make out to (on mellow summer days)

This mix was created to listen to on a warm summer day while a breeze of late afternoon air runs softly through the trees or your bedroom curtains. Immerse in a variety of mellow sounds rooted in the late 60s and 70s and enmesh with the person you can't stop thinking about. 

sianza is part of the team behind Munich's Radio 80000, where she hosts her bi-monthly show Commitment Issues which focuses primarily on listening music. Outside of the radio she mingles in between the likes of House music rooted in the 80s to early 90s and Disco mostly from the US.

Dig into the musical history of any nation and you'll find a golden kernel of sound; beautiful, unique, intoxicating and booty-shaking in nature.

In this mix series, a network of intrepid explorers traverse some of that sonic territory. Their mission is simple: use a random generator to select a country, get digging and come back with a mix based on what they’ve found.

Our goal is to break free from our geographic silos and highlight some of the scenes, sounds and styles that have been overlooked on the world stage. At the same time, we’ll chart unashamedly idiosyncratic routes through the terrain – filtering our discoveries through our own peculiar tastes and perspectives. 

Take hold of these postcards from our musical voyages and stick them on your fridge.
