sunflwr has only just started releasing music and is already creating a recognition value with the rest of its productions. It's exactly the same with the first single "porco rosso" of his forthcoming EP. The track impresses with its mixture of sadness and melancholy but at the same time the dreamy vibe gives it a sleepy positive touch. Lofi house with matching vocals cuts and the recognizable handwriting of sunflwr.

SABAK SA DJ 
HORNS GO BUDOTS

Filipino Budots pioneer DJ and producer DJ Love (Sherwin Tuna) drops his first single 'Sabak Sa DJ Basuri’ (24th July), from the upcoming debut album 'Budots World (Reloaded)’ released 7th August through Eastern Margins.

DJ Love (Sherwin Tuna) explains: "This album is my love letter to the Filipino people and to all local Budots Producers. The album is a tribute and a testament to the idea that Budots and all of its creators and practitioners deserve the world to recognise their art."

Sherwin Calumpang Tuna, professionally known as DJ Love, is a trailblazing Filipino music producer from Davao City. Globally renowned for cultivating the electronic dance sound ‘Budots’ native to the Filipino archipelago’s region, DJ Love co-founded the Camusboyz budots dance group in 2004 which helped catapult the genre’s exponential movement in the early 2000s.

Budots originated in the southern part of the Philippines in the 2000s and 2010s. The name ‘Budots’ is derived from a Bisaya slang word meaning “slacker”. Originally burdened with derogatory connotations around juvenile delinquency, it was DJ Love who ‘shifted the definition of Budots from simply bumming around to an art form of expression’ (Mixmag, 2020).

Imbued with a talismanic positivity, DJ Love used Budots and dance as a powerful vehicle to tackle the socio-economic strife native to his beloved Davao City. Both Budots and his dance groups such as Camusboyz and Camusgirls are about empowering his local community with purpose.

In the mid 2010s, Budots exploded in the Philippines. Budots became the bona fide sound of Jeepneys, malls and driveways across the entire Archipelagos. It even reached the point of being used in political campaigns and being danced to by the polarising President Rodrigo Duerte.

Nowadays, in large part due to the digital dissemination of information via social media, Budots’ reputation spreads far beyond the Philippines. Its repetitive yet attention-grabbing nature has made budots ubiquitous on short form video platforms, its sound scoring countless TikTok, Douyins and YouTube videos. DJ Love remains at the centre of this movement: classic tracks of his such as TiwTiw have racked up 50,000 creations on TikTok alone, whilst his set at the now legendary Manila Community Radio Boiler Room of 2023 is the most viewed Boiler Room from the Philippines.

BOMB TECH IS LOVE

Filipino ‘Budots’ pioneer DJ and producer DJ Love (Sherwin Tuna) drops his second single 'Bomb Tech 49’ (31st July) from the upcoming debut album 'Budots World (Reloaded)’.

DJ Love (Sherwin Tuna) explains: “it all just kind of came together through my imagination. You could say this one was born out of pure experimentation, with a major focus on the leads.”

SALAHILO (tagalog - stubborn, hardheaded, unyielding)

New Jersey-based Filipino-American artist WILHELMINA introduces SALAHILO—a project that fuses East-Coast club music with both traditional and electronic sounds and genres from Southeast Asia. Across six tracks, WILHELMINA crafts a sexy and percussive club sound designed for the dancefloor.

SALAHILO channels the raw energy of club music, blending it with the playful rhythms and high-energy styles of budots and kulintang from the Philippines, Thaibeat from Thailand, and Indobounce from Indonesia. Throughout these tracks, WILHELMINA weaves in elements of hard drum, gqom, jersey club, and brazilian funk.

WILHELMINA also seeks to highlight gongs as a recurring element in this release. Gongs have a special place throughout the traditional music of Southeast Asia. "Mahiwagang Sandata" "Speaking in Tongues" and "Sarunay Rhythm" feature gong elements drawn from Kulintang (PH) and Gamelan (ID). This project highlights the hypnotic, mystic, and meditative timbres of the instrument and how they fit in a dance track.


Shake the Alarma & VICIADO: Elements of east-coast club music, jersey club, brazilian funk, and thaibeat.

Mahiwagang Sandata (english: Magic/Mystic Weapon) is heavily influenced by Kulintang music from the Southern Philippines. It features live recorded samples of my personal sarunay, a set of metal gongs that are part of Kulintang. Sarunay are usually used for practicing for kulintang pieces. This track combines elements of kulintang, jersey club, and gqom.

Speaking in Tongues: Elements of indobounce, club, and gongs.

Work It: An original budots track with 90s rave elements.

Sarunay Rhythm: A house track featuring gongs.

Big shout out to DJ Love from Davao City, Philippines for pioneering the budots genre and bringing it to a worldwide stage. https://easternmargins.bandcamp.com/album/budots-world-reloaded
